'Home Alone' house under contract after hitting the market a week before

The iconic north suburban home that served as the centerpiece for the 1990 holiday hit movie 'Home Alone' appears to have found a new buyer after about a week on the market.Realtor.com lists the property as 'contingent,' meaning that a sale is in the works. Typically, those contingencies include home inspections, appraisals, or the sale of the buyer's property. Once those contingencies are met, the sale can proceed to closing.

John and Cynthia Abendshien moved into the 92-year-old house in 1988. They were the residents when 'Home Alone' was filmed and decided to sell it 12 years ago to the current owners. Many interior scenes were shot on a sound stage set up in the New Trier West High School gym in Northfield. Still, scenes centered on the main staircase and several interior rooms were actually shot inside the house, the website Moviefone reported back in 2012.
