The genuine house that was used as the backdrop for the beloved Christmas film Home Alone is much more magnificent in person.
The 4,243-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom Winnetka, Illinois home was a key component of the film Home Alone, which chronicled the adventures of young Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin).
After his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas flight to Paris, he finds himself alone in their home for the holidays. He faces a series of hilarious misadventures while attempting to outsmart two men who are attempting to loot the property while he is the only one home. The 1990 mega-hit picture starring Joe Pesci, John Heard, Daniel Stern, Catherine O’Hara, and John Candy was a huge occurrence, and Culkin became a prominent child celebrity as a result of its success.
Pictures found online show that the real-life mansion has the same external color scheme as it did in the movie. Built in the Georgian style, it boasts high ceilings, roomy interiors, and an open layout connecting the many living areas. The property feels fairly formal.
Online property sites calculate the home’s current approximate worth of $2,407,953, which equates to $568 per square foot and a monthly payment of $14,892. The opulent home last sold for $1,585,000 in 2012.
