Inside the Nakajima Dream Mansion!

I was finally able to take some pics of the recently acquired Nakajima Seisakusho Dream Mansion! It will become a Christmas present for my youngest daughter, Sara. My oldest daughter Tabytha had to keep her busy whilst I checked the doll house to make sure it was complete, etc.!

Oh my goodness! This cute dolly apartment building/Mansion is amazing! I've seen something similar to it in the US market, but this Japan version was complete, and with only a few minor issues, like aging, and tape damage, but otherwise in mint condition! As for the price, I must say it was definitely a cheap buy, as I thought I was going to be a part of a bidding war?! Anywho... onto the pics! (shots requested by a fellow blog friend Call of the small.)

 Out of the box! The mansion has three floors, all of the furniture was included and boxed neatly for each floor and their rooms. First, outside, is a separate panel for the swimming pool and driveway area. In the first floor, the box with furniture inside said, Bathroom & Dining room furniture, which also included the pool side furniture.

 A closer shot of the pool area!

 Backside of the Mansion. You can see each of the rooms. Some of the furniture is a bit large and hard to fit in each room, not giving much space to move furniture around. The furniture definitely looks a lot like Triang style furniture. All plastic, and some metal parts, like in the bathroom. As you can see the floors are all mixed up as I didn't have much time to place them in the correct order! I just noticed that dining rm is separate from the kitchen!LOL! Thank goodness the floors are interchangeable. I should've had the bedrm and nursery at the top level in the shot, ugh-_-;

The Mansion also has an elevator to go between the three levels! Using batteries the elevator can move up and down with a push of a button at the roof top. Sadly, I did not get to check if that part worked or not...I guess I will find out Christmas morning!?

 When boxed, this is the kitchen set and it includes, a double sink, stove, table and 2 chairs. Along with the living room furniture set that includes, a sofa, coffee table, credenza, 2 chairs, and a floor lamp.

 This set above shows the bedrm set which includes the closet, dresser w/mirror, bed, and stool. The nursery set includes, a crib with removable mattress, changing table, floor lamp, and rocking horse.

Finally, the boxed bathrm set includes, a bath tub, toilet, sink w/mirror. The Dining rm set includes, a table, 4 chairs, and a floor sconce. Not to forget to mention the pool set! Which includes, the umbrella, 4 small blue stools, a ladder, and diving board.

 (above and below, sellers photos not mine.) I wanted to include these photos of the box, so you can see the levels. Sadly, it doesn't include dolls to play with...



I hope my daughter will enjoy it? Hopefully she will have many hours of play, and so will I!!

Thanks so much for reading! - ggsdolls

  3. I have the american version of this house, you can see it on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lillispuppenstube/sets/72157625726547617/
    Unfortunately in my house one of the floors is missing, but I have exactly the same furniture.
    My house was sold by Sears in 1971.

    Lots of fun with your house,
    Lilli
