Buy it Andreas, buy it!!!!
$3, 650, 000?
Hey, I’ll take two please. To go.
Can someone borrow me 3 million? lol
flawless victory.
That house wouldn’t fit in Lasseter’s garage. And he was right to put american dog to sleep. It really was a dog.
Okay, so here’s the question: Let’s say that you have the bucks to buy the place. Do you keep it as a “living museum” to Walt’s memory – or do you bring in designers and update it into a cool, modern home?
Me? Personally, I’d keep the leather club chairs and re-do the rest of the place.
Museum!!!
Why do you think “Falling Water” by Frank L. Wright was made into one?
The property taxes will be murder.
I’m still paying off my $750,000 fixer-upper in Pacomia I bought during the housing boom a few years ago.
Cool place but I’d rather move to a non-smoking house.
I would by it and turn it into a Frat house for an the animation majors at my school! It would be awesome living in a piece of Hollywood history.
So when is the open house? I just spent 10 solid minutes in the screening room pretending like I’m watching dailies from the nine old men… That’s all!
Better yet, bring your own projector and old Disney film reel and sit down with a bunch of animator friends in there!
I got to do that! A friend was living in the house Walt was in (his Uncle Robert’s, on Kingswell) when he moved here from Kansas City. My friend threw a Disney themed party including several 9 old men and Disney voices. I ran Super 8mm Disney films in the garage where Walt had built an animation stand before moving his studio down the street.
This must have been the home where Walt Disney redoubled the security system in the aftermath of the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh, Jr.
How?!???
HOW could you SELL my house????
I wanted it to go to my children!!!!!
This proves you can’t take it with you.
You CAN take it with you but it gets moldy and smells.
Such a shame Walt was such a work-aholic that he probably didn’t take advantage of such a beauty of a place!
In comparison, the voice actor of Snow White’s house is god-awful!! She got mega-shafted with both a horrid house AND the fact she COULDNT WORK as a VOICE actor again! (*to protect Walt’s idea of Snow Whites voice)
Do you think any actor today would allow those regulations put on them? I doubt it.
Great deal for 3.6 mil, I wonder what the property taxes are?
Taxes would be roughly $45,000 per year.
I would paint the white interior walls, but not a lot of other changes.
Cute. But believe it was his NEXT house that had the fabled miniature train and a lavish soda fountain (the latter being the Disneys’ strategy to encourage their teen daughters to bring friends home insteading of hanging out somewhere).
Look for the hidden Mickey on it! No kidding.
Look for the secret panel where he kept his lone print of his private Snow White stag reel.
Sheesh, if I could afford this place I wouldn’t be drinking Smirnoff.
