Who could forget the big red brick house that was the center of events in the classic film 'Home Alone'? The McCallister house, where Kevin McCallister spent Christmas alone trapping thieves, is now on the market for an astonishing price.
This home, located in Winnetka, Illinois, is not only famous for its role in the film, but also for its charming architecture. Built in 1920, this home is a perfect example of traditional American architectural design that combines classic beauty with modern comfort.
Iconic House 'Home Alone'
The iconic home featured in the classic Christmas season film, “Home Alone,” is now available for sale. Located at 671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, Illinois, this house is known as the house where Kevin McCallister was left by his family during a trip to Paris. According to Zillow, the home is priced at $5.25 million.
The home is for the first time on the market since 2012, when the current owner purchased it for $1.58 million. Although the interior of the home is not entirely the same as seen in the film, the current owners have carried out renovations and expansions in 2018. They paid attention to the architectural details and spaces most recognized in the film.
Spacious and Interior
At over 9,000 square feet, this Georgian-style home has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen with two large islands and two ovens, a three-car garage, and a screened-in porch with a fireplace. Inside, there is a basketball court and a theater equipped with memorabilia from the film “Home Alone.”
Design Changes
Although the house is famous for appearing in the films, the actual interior is different from what is shown on screen. Today, the house has a black-and-white minimalist design that is different from the Christmas atmosphere we know from films.
This is an exclusive location
Not only is the interior of the house impressive, but also its location. Winnetka is one of Chicago's most exclusive areas, known for its high-quality schools, safe community, and easy access to downtown Chicago.
The marketing of the McCallister house at $5.25 Million USD certainly attracted the attention of many people, not only fans of the film 'Home Alone', but also those looking for a property with high historical and architectural value. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of cinema history, as well as a truly extraordinary home.
Winnetka, where the house is located, is located along Lake Michigan, about 20 miles north of Chicago. For those of you who have at least $5 million to invest, this house can be a place to create beautiful memories with your family.
Conclusion
For those interested, the house is being sold fully furnished, including some of the original items used in the film. This is a unique opportunity to live inside a work of art that is also as comfortable and warm as a home.
Are you ready to be part of the 'Home Alone' legend? The McCallister House awaits a new owner who will continue the story of these historic walls. If you have $5.25 Million USD and the dream of living in luxury and nostalgia, it may be time to act.
This iconic home isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about memory, about childhood, and of course, about adventure. This is a chance to not only own a home, but also a piece of pop culture that will live on as long as the movie 'Home Alone' remains in our hearts.
