Counter example to lifting coutractibility of a topological space

I'm looking for a simple example of an open proper continuous application between topological spaces $\varphi:X\to Y$ such that :

  • $Y$ is countractible and locally countractible ;
  • for any $y\in Y$, $\varphi^{-1}(\{y\})$ is countractible ;
  • $X$ is not countractible.

I have an example which is a little bit complicated but I wonder if there exists a simple one.
