Blair Bangerter, one of the owners of Bangerter Homes, in conjunction with the Salt Lake City Home Builders Association came up with a fun idea to get visitors and potential buyers to come to their Parade of Homes show by building this replica of Carl and Ellie's house from Disney's movie "UP" The house drew about 1,000 people a week during visiting hours.To see an interview with the builder and get more information about the house click HERE
The total square space of the house is about 2,800 square feet and took about 4 months to complete There is a basement in this house, unlike the real one. There is a detached two car garage too. I read here it sold for $400,000 to a couple from California who thought it was the perfect home for them. You can still make arrangements to take photographs inside the home by appointment. Outside photos are okay without appointments. We didn't have any problems snapping these photos today.
There is a nice park with a slide and other outdoor toys just across the street where you could have a picnic after viewing the home.
The Rapunzel play house has since been added to the house-It was cute too.
This what the house looked like when it was first built. However there are a lot of beautiful homes surrounding this cute Disney house now! (Paul Fraughton-Photograph from the Salt Lake Tribune)
