Discover the inside of the ‘Home Alone’ house that sold for over $5 million right before Christmas
The iconic house from “Home Alone” has finally sold, just in time for the holiday season, seven months after it was listed for sale.
This striking 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom property located in Winnetka, Illinois hit the market in late May with an asking price of $5.25 million, as highlighted in its Zillow posting. The house famously served as the residence of the McCallister family in both the beloved 1990 Christmas film “Home Alone” and its sequel, “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” from 1992.
The home garnered substantial public interest almost immediately after being listed, resulting in the listing agents from Coldwell Banker Realty receiving an offer in under a week, according to reports from People.
Interestingly, Macaulay Culkin, the actor who portrayed Kevin McCallister, pondered acquiring the house when it first became available.
“I considered buying it just for fun,” he mentioned to Entertainment Weekly recently. “I have kids and a busy life now.”
“We’re delighted by the attention and affection for this home, which truly holds a special place in film history and evokes cherished holiday memories,” stated listing agents Dawn McKenna and Katie Moor in a statement shared with People.
Coldwell Banker Realty did not provide an immediate response to YSL News regarding this sale.
