PROS
With a treehouse, swing set, and sandbox, this yard has been a playground for the three boys who lived here. Built in 2008, the treehouse fits right in with the lushly landscaped yard, which can be enjoyed from an elevated screened-in porch. The kitchen has maple cabinets, a Sub-Zero fridge, and hardwood floors. There’s a second-floor laundry and a home office off the kitchen. The finished basement adds 876 square feet of living space.
CONS
It’s do-over time for some countertops, painted-blue paneling, and, most notably, textured ceilings.: CONTACT Bill Kuhlman, Kuhlman Residential Real Estate, Needham, 781-444-1399, $1,099,000

PROS
Here, the two-story treehouse, up a wooded path, is barely visible from the main house (not a “pro” for every family). The contemporary home was designed for entertaining, including room for a piano. Built in 1989, the home has amenities seen in newer homes, like a built-in desk and pullout shelves in the kitchen. New hardwood floors on the first floor are gleaming. The finished basement has a full kitchen. Surrounded by conservation land, the home is private.
CONS
There’s a hodgepodge of carpet, and the main bath is a bit dated.: CONTACT Carol Smith, Hammond Residential Real Estate, Concord, 617-962-9481, $2,590,000

PROS
This treehouse – constructed by Dad and nestled in a clearing with a swing set – has built-in bunk beds and a slide for quick exits. The main house has lots of interesting angles and curves. All six bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and great closets. The master suite has a fireplace and an exercise area, too. Some window treatments and large televisions are staying. There’s a five-zone entertainment system and an au pair suite.
CONS
Anyone without little girls will want to repaint the pink and lilac bedrooms.: CONTACT Donna Scott, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Wellesley, 781-254-1490, /donna.scott.home.
