Church-style tiny home selling for under $9k - it's a replica of a historic place and will be delive

PROSPECTIVE tiny home buyers have a new unique option to consider with a replica church-style ready-to-build kit for under nine thousand dollars.

Pennslyvania Home and Ranch Depot is selling a historic replica of The Star Barn, located near its own headquarters, at varying sizes to be used as a shed or tiny home.

The Star Barn is currently used as a venue for multiple special occasions but got its start in the 1800s.

Built in 1877, the barn operated as a horse stable and was eventually subdivided to accommodate dairy which continued operations until 1986.

In 2000, the building was entered in the National Register of Historic Places, and soon after converted into the venue it is today.

Now, people can have a replica of the historic sight delivered to their backyard, potentially even making it their own tiny home.

For buyers in the United States, the historic replica is free to ship and will arrive in two to three weeks.

The church-style white building even features the iconic star vents that can be seen on the original.

Before fees and taxes, the buildings start at $8,390 in price and go up to $14,146 depending on what options the customer makes.

Although there is an option to pay in one transaction, the company also provides a financing plan at no more than $310 per month.

The application takes 60 seconds to fill out in order to see what the buyer is eligible for.

Buyers have some options when purchasing in order to customize the building to their needs.

Each of the options is ten feet long by either 14, 16, 18 and 20 feet wide.

Then, buyers can choose to purchase a setup that comes with a floor kit that consists of flooring materials, floor joists and runners.

"These kits come with easy-to-follow installation instructions and even include a set of tools, although you’d probably be better using your own," reads the site on DIY kit advantages.

"Not only do these kits save time, they prevent common mistakes made by inexperienced builders. By investing in a DIY kit, you will free up more of your time for essential chores," it ends.

Every kit comes with windows and screens, a main door, a double door with windows, decorative corbels, cupola with copper detail, sidewalls and studs and side paneling.

Customers will have to provide their own shingles and paint for their structure.

"Since each customer has their own paint and shingle color preferences, it is more efficient for the customer to choose the colors they want and purchase these items locally," explained the website.
