BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A Michigan couple is offering to give their four bedroom, two bath home free to anyone who buys the dollhouse sitting in their basement.

Current conditions in the housing market have prompted Gerry and Cindy Mann to try to attract attention by listing the dollhouse for $169,000 and throwing in the family home for free, the Battle Creek Enquirer reported Wednesday.

"I haven't seen anything like this. I mean, it's a pretty creative idea, and God bless 'em if it works," said Matt Davis, president of the Battle Creek Area Association of Realtors' Board of Directors.

The dollhouse, complete with electricity and swinging closet doors, was constructed 15 years ago for the family's three children by their grandfather.

The Manns estimate it is worth a couple thousand dollars.
