If you loved “Home Alone” as a kid, now’s your chance to have Kevin McAllister’s family home for yourself. The movie's famous house — yep, it's a real house — hit the market this week for the first time in 12 years, selling for $5.25 million. The 9,126-sq. ft. home, built in 1921 and located in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois, is being offered by The Dawn McKenna Group. The group shared a video of the home, calling it “a piece of American history,” May 24 on Instagram.
The Dawn McKenna Group's video shows Kevin riding his sleigh down the home's red-carpeted staircase in the movie just before highlighting footage of the same gleaming wood stairs today. The dark and creepy attic Kevin was terrified of has been transformed into a light-filled suite featuring a full bath with a soaking tub. Interior walls throughout the house have been removed to turn once “compartmentalized” rooms into vast open spaces, the real estate agents explain.
