The Home Alone residence is now for sale! The red brick house is located in the Winnetka village, Illinois, very close to Lake Michigan and some 20 miles north of downtown Chicago. It boasts 14 rooms spread over4,250 square feet of living space, including a four-room master suite, spanning one wing. The master suite includes a sitting room with a carved marble fire mantelpiece and a sunroom and it was the place where the owners of the home moved to for the most part of the filming period.
Also part of the famous property is a dormered attic bedroom, a gourmet kitchen and a detached garage. If you want to visit the house you can only do this with an appointment, as there will be no open house for this property. It’s too famous and would attract too many visitors. Marissa Hopkins, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage listing agent said “It would be a zoo. There are a lot of people who would like to see the Home Alone house if they were given the opportunity.”
The current owners of the famous house are John and Cynthia Abendshien and they announced that they are ready to move into a smaller home, since their daughter is now all grown up. So if what you’re looking for is a large home with a fun history, we believe this is where your search stops. The house is listed at $2.4 million.
