As the movie 'Barbie' gains popularity, a pink mansion styled like a 'Barbie dollhouse' in Hudson, Wisconsin, USA, has been put on the market.


According to the New York Post and others on the 29th (local time), a two-story detached house called 'Barbiecore Castle' located in western Hudson, Wisconsin, has been listed on the real estate market. The price is $1.1 million (about 1.5 billion KRW).


Built in 1900 in the Victorian style, the house has a total floor area of 521㎡ and consists of 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

Currently, this house is used exclusively for rental through the accommodation sharing service Airbnb. It can accommodate up to 14 people, and the rental fee is $1,700 per day (about 2.3 million KRW). Reservations are fully booked until November 25.


The reservation site for the house introduces it as "within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and the riverside, with easy access to Interstate 94 (I-94)."


Jenny Martin, the real estate agent handling the sale, said about the house, "It can easily be converted into a luxurious private residence or a home where the owner lives and rents out part of it."


She added, "Besides the Barbie theme, the house boasts stained glass windows installed at the time of its 123-year-old construction, woodwork interiors, two kitchens, a swimming pool, and a large outdoor bathtub."

The homeowner, Brooke Fleetwood, remodeled the house and named it 'Barbiecore Castle' last month targeting Barbie enthusiasts ahead of the movie 'Barbie' release in the US.


The New York Post reported, "Within 24 hours of Zillow, a real estate company, posting information about this house on Instagram, it received over 50,000 likes and about 1,400 comments, showing a hot response."


Meanwhile, the movie 'Barbie' has become a huge hit in the US, emerging as the highest-grossing film released this year in the North American region.


According to US box office tracking site Box Office Mojo, Barbie is estimated to have earned $594 million (about 788.2 billion KRW) in North America from its release on the 21st of last month through the 27th. This surpasses the record of $574 million (about 761.6 billion KRW) set by 'Super Mario Brothers,' which was released earlier this year.


As a result, Mattel, the toy company that produced Barbie, is generating additional revenue by partnering with over 165 products related to Barbie, including clothing and merchandise.
