Here's a question for ya filthy animals: Want to live in Kevin McCallister's home? Now you can! The famous house featured in Home Alone hit the market for the first time in 12 years, and it'll run ya a cool $5.25 million. The folks over at Chicago-based Dawn McKenna Group at Coldwell Banker have the listing in Winnetka, Illinois, just 37 minutes north of Chicago.
"While much of the home will look familiar," the realtors explain, "you won't believe what the sellers have done to transform this famous home, nearly doubling the livable footage and adding a state of the art sport court!" In the group's marketing video, realtors exclaim that the Illinois home is "a piece of American history" and "arguably one of the most famous houses in the world." It's true. After the camera takes the viewers inside, one of the realtors is seen standing at the bottom of the staircase.
She then cleverly asks, "Does this look familiar to you?" as she points to the famous stairs Macaulay Culkin 's character once used as a slide for his sled. It's also the stairs where McCallister fought off the bumbling burglars Harry and Marv (portrayed by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) by hilariously swinging two gallons of paint on their unsuspecting heads. One of the home's many upgrades includes an open kitchen floor plan -- "No more compartmentalized kitchen in this house," a realtor says -- and a bonus sunroom.
The house is full of surprises, like a state-of-the-art basketball court below a fully-renovated basem.
