‘Home Alone’ House Hits the Market with Movie Theater Inside
WINNETKA, Ill. (AP) — The iconic house featured in the beloved holiday film “Home Alone” is up for sale in Winnetka, Illinois. The property, known for its role in the 1990 movie, has been renovated and expanded in 2018, now boasting a movie theater among other upgrades.
Listed for $5.25 million, the brick Georgian-style house offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and over 9,000 square feet of living space, including a fully equipped gym and indoor sports court with a basketball hoop. The sale of the house is currently in progress, with real estate agents Dawn McKenna and Katie Moor from Coldwell Banker Realty handling the transaction.
