Walt Disney wrote ‘Fantasia’ in this Massachusetts house now for sale. Take a look

A home with a Disney connection has landed on the real estate market in Centerville, Massachusetts, for $2.19 million.

The six-bedroom, five-bathroom house was once part of a larger estate named Fernbrook but is now being sold by itself.

According to a news release from Sotheby’s International Realty, the specific house is where Walt Disney penned his 1940 synesthesia dream, “Fantasia” which features classic music from composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

The 5,050-square-foot residence is not only visually stunning, but it also has a lot of captivating features.

“As you enter the home, the luxuriously-appointed kitchen welcomes you,” the listing says.

“Exposed beams throughout the first floor are combined with stunning windows that provide stunning views of the lily pond, on this spectacular property designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape architect for Central Park, Arnold Arboretum & more.”

It’s also a stone-throw’s distance from Craigville beach.

The listing mentions that Disney wrote the classic animated film in the towner, which the home is built around.

Other features include:

  • Three floors

  • Updated basement

  • Recreation room

  • Wrap-around porches

  • Swimming pool

  • Lily pond

  • Rose garden

The listing is held by Gene Orloff.

Centerville is about a 70-mile drive southeast from Boston.
