Well, that was fast! After just a week on the market, the iconic ‘Home Alone’ house is already under contract. The place is listed for $5.25 millionBut industry experts aren’t shocked that the 9,126-square-foot Winnetka, IL, stunner, listed by Coldwell Banker Realty’s Dawn McKenna Group, found a ready buyer. Real estate agent Cara Ameer, who got married in this vicinity and knows the area well, says the desirable community is known for great schools, wonderful beaches, parks, and a charming downtown teeming with shops and restaurants.
The home’s showbiz pedigree doesn’t hurt either.
“The house is well priced for its size and condition,” Ameer says. “The celebrity factor of this home, being featured in such a popular and legendary movie, also adds to the overall value. It is one of those homes people will want to drive by to see if they know the movie and the area where it was filmed.”
That said, the interior of the five-bedroom, six-bath beauty barely resembles the home where precocious Kevin McCallister—accidentally abandoned by his vacationing family—does battle with bumbling burglars.
An extensive renovation and expansion in 2018 included the addition of a gourmet kitchen, second family room, an in-home basketball court, and a state-of-the-art movie theater.
