If you like Disney/Pixar’s movie “UP” – you’ll love this! Just 1/4 mile from our rental home they have built a real life replica of the “UP” House!! Bangerter Homes built it for a model home in the Salt Lake City, UT Parade of Homes (a 2 week open house featuring about 30 homes from various builders, tickets required for entry). They even got permission from Disney to do it. It is absolutely charming – my kids just LOVE it! I am amazed by the details they have included: the weathervane, garden hose, scalloped shingles and shakes, painted mailbox, gate and picket fence – that is only the exterior. They are finishing up the interior right now. It even features the picture of the falls over the mantle and the mural Ellie painted in the nursery. They are custom upholstering the “his” and “hers” chairs and had custom appliances made. In the basement they decorated a boy’s room based on Andy’s Room from “Toy Story” and a Princess Room for a lucky girl. It is 2800 sq feet and has an asking price of only $399K. Of course they will tie balloons to the chimney for the Parade of Homes when it opens July 29th. So fun – can’t wait to tour it inside (we pass it at least twice a day!)
