Even though their Battle Creek house has been on the market for a year, Gerry and Cindy Mann are feeling generous.

They want you to buy a $169,000 dollhouse replica of their four-bedroom, two-bathroom home. And to sweeten the deal, they’ll throw in the real house for free.

“The Realtors do the normal thing; they put us in the book, they have an open house,” Gerry Mann, 60, an assistant superintendent at Battle Creek Public Schools, said. “So after a year I was thinking, I don’t know, I have this dollhouse sitting in my basement, let me see if I can do some creative marketing.”
