The iconic brick house featured in the Christmas classic "Home Alone" is officially for sale. The home is located in Winnetka, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The current owners bought it in 2012 for $1.585 million, but now the asking price for the five-bedroom, six-bathroom house is listed at $5.25 million.
The owners, Tim and Trisha Johnson, spoke to The Wall Street Journal, and Trisha recalled that when the couple began looking for a home, she told her husband that she'd like to have something similar in style to the "Home Alone" house. "At the time, neither of us knew it was in Illinois, let alone in one of the towns we were considering," she told the outlet. "We found out that it was in Winnetka when our agent added it to our list of homes to see.
That was in the movie, and it's classic," she said. "We didn't want to take that out or touch it in any way." "Sometimes, we'll hear the Kevin scream," she said, referring to the memorable moment from "Home Alone" when Culkin's character claps his hands to his face and screams. Fans of the movie have been known to stop by and take photos outside.
