The Lake County YMCA 26th anniversary Dream House, located at 36470 Maplegrove Road, in the Maple Valley Development in Willoughby Hills, will open daily for tours June 29 through August 4 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. (July 4 tour hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m.).
Visitors ages 18 and older must purchase a ticket to tour the house and have the opportunity to win the beautifully decorated and furnished Dream House or the cash option of $275,000 and designated house contents.
One Dream House ticket is $15, or purchase three or more for $13 each (3 for $39). Individuals that purchase a 3 pack of Dream House tickets also will receive one entry in a second drawing to possibly win a 2019 Chevy Camaro (sponsored by The Chevy Network/Classic Chevrolet). The more three-packs purchased, the better chance to win the 2019 Chevy Camaro (car tickets cannot be purchased separately).
Tickets may be purchased online at ymcadreamhouse.org.
The Lake County Y 2019 Dream House, built by ProBuilt Homes, Inc., is 3,400 sq. ft of rustic modern farmhouse beautifully decorated by a team of local designers. The house features four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, study, great room, lower level home theater and fitness room, and a two-car garage. There also will be a unique STEAM room for children and families to engage in activities that blend the traditional STEM subjects with artistic and creative elements.
At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 7, 20 semi-finalists will be chosen from all tour ticket stubs purchased for the Dream House and 10 semi-finalists will be chosen from the tickets for the Chevy Camaro drawing. Semi-finalists will be notified by phone and by mail and invited to the final drawing at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 11.
Since 1993, Lake County YMCA Dream House has not only given a winning family the opportunity of a lifetime, but also provided more than $5 million (approximately $200,000 per year), which has helped the Y strengthen the community by bringing about meaningful change through resources that enrich lives. Annual proceeds from the project enhance the Y with facility and equipment improvements for the more than 46,000 members and program participants at each of its branches.
