The mansion featured in the movie ‘Home Alone’
(Los Angeles = Larose.VIP) Correspondent Mina Lim = A mansion in the suburbs of Chicago, USA, which appeared as the background in the Hollywood box office hit ‘Home Alone’ (1990), has been put up for sale on the real estate market.
According to local media such as ABC on the 27th (local time), the mansion that appears as the home of the main character Kevin McAllister’s family in ‘Home Alone’ was recently listed on a real estate listing site for $5.25 million (approximately 7.158 billion won). Price posted.
This house is located in the Winnetka area, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, which is considered one of the famous wealthy areas in the United States.
According to an introduction posted on the listing site of Dawn McKenna Group, a company brokering this real estate transaction on the 24th, the house has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in an area of 9,126 square feet (847.8 ㎡). Built in 1921, it was extensively renovated and expanded in 2018, and is equipped with a gymnasium that can be used as a basketball court and a small movie theater.
The company introduced, “This brick mansion, famous for being featured in ‘Home Alone,’ will provide a rare opportunity to own a home from one of the most iconic movies in American pop culture.”
In the movie, the 8-year-old protagonist, Kevin, is left alone in a large mansion away from his family during the Christmas holidays and goes through a series of adventures, including confronting a gang of thieves who break into the house.
The view of the mansion that is currently up for sale appears several times in this film.
However, US entertainment media outlet TMZ quoted the film’s cinematographer as saying that the scenes depicted inside the house in the film were not filmed inside the mansion.
According to ABC, this house was used as an event accommodation by accommodation sharing platform Airbnb in December 2021 to provide customers with a special experience for one night.
