Snow White-Inspired House in Washington Goes Up for Sale
Finally, your dreams of living in a Disney movie are about to come true. A life-size replica of the cottage from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs exists and, even better, it's currently up for sale. So grab your sneeziest, sleepiest, and happiest friends and start prepping to live your IRL fairy tale in the Pacific Northwest.
According to the home's official listing, its 2,800 square feet comprise four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, all of which is located on five acres of land in the tiny town of Olalla, Washington, about a 90-minute drive from Seattle. The "storybook home," which is currently listed for $775,000, was built in 1982 and specifically modeled after the dwarfs' cottage from Disney's 1937 film adaptation of the 19th-century fairy tale about Snow White by the Brothers Grimm. The home has hand-carved wooden beams, lots of stained glass windows, and cave-like stucco walls. As the realtor notes, it's the perfect space for a bed and breakfast or wedding venue.
Photos of the fantastical home show that it has a huge stone fireplace, several chandeliers, and tree trunk-like support beams scattered throughout. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, whimsically carved cabinets, a wood stove and a built-in fireplace (which could possibly be used as a pizza oven?!), plus huge windows over the sink that look out over the yard and let in plenty of natural light. As the listing notes, there are no sharp corners in the entire home — apparently, cartoon dwarfs and their gullible princess pals can only live in rounded rooms. Outside, the cottage is surrounded by colorful flagstone pavers, mushroom-shaped trees, and plenty more greenery. Several bird baths (would you expect anything else from Snow White?) and fountains dot the property, a cement bridge leads the way to the front door, and there's even a hot tub just a few steps away from the house.
The Kitsap Sun reports that Richey and Karen Morgan started painstakingly crafting their dream home in the late 1970s. Although the Morgans never completed the massive project, Evonne Bess purchased the house in 2005 and finished the job. "It's been a joy to be here," Bess told the newspaper. "It breaks my heart to go away because I know I'll never find another one like it."
