IN 1948 RKO PICTURES PREMIERED THE HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE "MR BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE" STARRING CARY GRANT AND MYRNA LOY. RKO's ingenious marketing strategy included building 70 replica homes across the country including one in Omaha! The public was invited to tour the "dream house" and purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win the home. After 30,000 people paid $1 per ticket, the Willey's from Council Bluffs won the luxurious house worth over $500,000 in today's dollars! FAST FORWARD: By 2018 the house had fallen onto hard times and considerable disrepair when a visionary came to the rescue!!! Local award-winning architect and designer, Lori Krejci, purchased the home and with fistful of dollars set out to restore Mr. Blandings Dream House to its original splendor. Once again, this 3200 sq/ft 4-bedroom 4-bath legend is ready for the public to tour and purchase. NOT IN A MILLION YEARS WILL YOU EVER FIND A HOME AS FRESH AND STYLISH AS MR. BLANDINGS DREAM HOUSE!
