This real life replica of the house from “Up” will not be demolished. This house is believed to the inspiration for the house in the movie. The house will now be used for affordable housing and it will be made to look like it did when the owner lived there. The land that the home sits on will be sold separately.
It is supposed to be moved from where it is now to Orcas Island within the next 2 to 3 months. They decided to move the house after plans to renovate it where it is now did not work out. Not to mention the potential buyers could not or did not want to bring the house up to code.
“Rather than being forlorn and vacant, it will be lived in and loved,” broker Paul Thomas of OPAL Community Land Trust told KOMO.
A little background on the home. It is a very small house at only 600 sq feet. It hit the big time in 2006 when the then-owner Edith Macefield supposedly turned down a $1 million offer for the home. She passed away in 2008. However, the home still stood in its original spot while new stores were built around it.
Of course some people are not happy about the house leaving its current spot. You can’t please everyone!
