The iconic house from ‘Home Alone’ is now on sale in the Chicago suburbs
Plenty of TV show and film homes have gained cult status (The Holiday! Friends! Father of the Bride!), but none are quite as beloved as the suburban Chicago house that takes on a central role in the various Home Alone movies.
Every time we see that instantly recognizable facade, we dream of owning it. If you share that fantasy and happen to have $5.25 million to spare, you are in luck: the 9,000-square-foot home is officially on sale for that price.
The single family residence is found at 671 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, a suburb of Chicago, and it boasts five total bedrooms and six bathrooms (it looked even bigger in the movies, right?). Built back in 1921, the brick Georgian home was fully renovated and expanded back in 2018, but the “owners took the utmost care in maintaining the architectural detail and integrity of the home’s most memorable and recognizable spaces,” according to the official listing on Zillow. Among them: that beautiful entry staircase, the dining room, the formal living room and the foyer.
Additions include a new sun-drenched family room with French doors that open to the backyard, a top-notch kitchen with double islands and a hidden pantry, a second family room and a screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace and expansive patio.
There are also two laundry rooms on separate floors, a mudroom, a three-car attached and heated garage and tons of storage.
It truly is the house of one’s dreams.
This isn’t the first time that the home has been accessible to the public: A few years ago, in 2021, fans were able to rent it out for a single night for $25 as part of an Airbnb promotion.
That being said, the last time the residence was actually on the market was over a decade ago, in 2012, when it sold for nearly $1.6 million. Clearly, times (and real estate prices!) have changed.
