Calgary's 'Willy Wonka' Mansion With A Glass Elevator Is For Sale For $4.8M

When a regular house elevator isn't enough.
Contributor

Elaborate, fanciful chocolate factories are so last season — Wonka's moved on to luxurious megahomes. With enough space for all your whimsical candy-making needs, this modern masterpiece is worth drooling over. Plus, nothing screams luxury more than this Calgary mansion for people too rich for an ordinary elevator.

According to the listing, this enormous house has over 6,500 square feet of living space packed into a brightly lit home with so many windows it's at least half aquarium. The mansion boasts six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms.

But the true star of the show is the glorious glass elevator bridging the upper and lower levels of the home. Now you can gaze out onto your glorious domain as you're whisked from the walk-out basement to the tip of the second story.

You'll adore the full "master chef's kitchen" with state-of-the-art appliances for taffy making and more.

If you'd prefer something stronger and more liquid, grab a drink from the wet bar. Alternatively, venture to one of the home's two "resort style" custom wine cellars.
