Social media sleuths noticed that the house next door to the iconic 'Home Alone' house in Winnetka is now up for sale.
"You don't have to be afraid" when you spot this north suburban Chicago listing on Zillow. Social media sleuths noticed that the house next door to the iconic "Home Alone" house in Winnetka is now up for sale.
In the 1990 holiday movie, Old Man Marley, the seemingly creepy next-door neighbour of movie star Kevin McCallister, owns the house near the McCallister family, at 681 Lincoln Avenue.
Despite it's unsettling framing in the film, the six-bedroom, seven-bath house is listed for nearly $3.8 million (after reportedly listing at $4.8 million earlier this year). It features a large outdoor pool, a putting green, and a half-basketball court.
If you are considering buying the house, just remember the words of Marley, "You're never too old to be afraid."
Meanwhile, the iconic "Home Alone" house may have also found a new owner.
Zillow has a sale "pending" on the Home Alone house, located at 671 Lincoln Ave. in Winnetka. The over 9,000-square-foot home was listed for US$5.2 million.
The iconic brick home features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and an indoor sports court.
