If this facade gives you a feeling of déjà vu, this is not surprising. This is the residence that served as the setting for the filming of the film Home Alone (Mom, I missed the plane!), the first part of which was released in 1990.
This imposing Georgian brick house, which has just been put up for sale, is located in Illinois, in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and also presents an architecture typical of this region.
Although the iconic areas featured in the film remain almost unaltered, many additions were made in 2018, such as a new family room, a gourmet kitchen, a suite in the old attic, a gym with a basketball court …without forgetting, of course, a state-of-the-art cinema where a poster of the famous Christmas comedy was exhibited. Have all the traps set by young Kevin McCalister in the film been defused? The sales sheet doesn’t specify this!
Anyone who succumbs to cinephile madness will have to pay the price: US$5,250,000 (CAN$7,164,675).
