Highlights
- The mansion which featured in the Macaulay Culkin starrer hit film 'Home Alone' is up for sale. The owners of the house on Chicago's North Shore putting the 1920s Georgian mansion on the market for USD 2.4 million, reported Daily Mail online.
- But many will remember the colonial-style building in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka as the home of the McCallisters and the battlefield where little Kevin took on those bumbling burglers.
- The building, though not bedecked in Christmas lights and decorations, is instantly recognisable.
- "Very few homes have a leading role in a movie, in a sense becoming an additional character," said listing agent Marissa Hopkins. The property has a four-room master suite, a stunning forest inspired dining area and the notorious attic bedroom where Kevin had to spend the night with his bed-wetting cousin in the film. The home has been given a makeover since it was used in the 1990 hit.
