The small Seattle home that reminds people of the house featured in the movie "Up," is being donated to a charity that plans to move it. CBS News' Steve Hartman was at the house back in 2009; CBSN's Contessa Brewer shares his story behind the tiny house.

    Imagine living in your little old bungalow for years. Land all around you. Peace and quiet. Family memories. Then all of a sudden streets are being built around you. Big five story building built around your home. I understand why she turned down the money. No money can beat the feeling her home brought her. That’s how I feel about my childhood home:(
  • She knew exactly the type of person she was leaving the house to. Fly high Edith ❤️❤️

    Such a sad ending to a happy story. I would have loved to sit in her Midcentury living room!

    Let’s be honest, if she was younger like in her 20’s she’d take the money and live her best life.

    Disney should’ve of bought that for like 10 million and it could’ve been moved to Disney theme park and been a really cool piece of history for the movie
  • @Spadestr81
    I think it’s way more interesting and historic for it to remain in between the huge building. How else is it immediately recognizable?
  • @MozBoi

  • @renztinio3667
    After long years of Edith trying not to have the house destroy and moved and now is being moved 🥲🥲
  • Everyone is entitle to live and if you have house and love it and want only this house where you in and living happy, why I need new house where I wont feel happy as it is not the one what I was in? 1 million not gave happy feeling in new house as it is completely different. I totally agree with this old lady and hope that she see from heaven that she is not the only one who think same . 😊
