A Dream Come True for 'Home Alone' Fans!
Ever imagined setting booby traps in the iconic 'Home Alone' house? Your childhood fantasy could become a reality! The famous residence that "Kevin McCallister" (Macaulay Culkin) defended with gusto is now looking for a new owner. Listed by Coldwell Banker Realty's Dawn McKenna Group, this slice of movie history could be yours for a cool $5.25 million.
The Dawn McKenna Group posted a video showing off the home by splicing together clips from the American classic movie alongside the renovated version of the home now for sale.
"Ever wanted to live like Kevin McCallister? Now is your chance to fulfill your childhood dreams!" read a recent post from the real estate group.
While the exterior of this 1921-built house may look familiar to fans, the interior has undergone a transformation that's nothing short of spectacular. With five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the 9,126-sq. ft. home is both a part of American movie history and a valuable piece of real estate.
"You won't believe what the sellers have done," boasts the listing. From nearly doubling the square footage to adding luxurious features like a sunroom, an open kitchen, and an impressive sports court, this home is a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern luxury.
The property was also redesigned to include a spacious kitchen that has dual islands, as well as a screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace, among other luxuries.
Imagine sliding down the staircase just like "Kevin", or perhaps enjoying a quieter moment in the sunroom. The listing video tantalizingly combines clips from 'Home Alone' with footage of the renovated home, stirring up nostalgia and showcasing the updates that make this property truly unique.
"While much of the home will look familiar, you won't believe what the sellers have done to transform this famous home, nearly doubling the livable footage and adding a state of the art sport court!" read the post.
This home isn't just a building; it's a cornerstone of holiday movie magic. Its role in 'Home Alone' has cemented it as a must-see for fans around the globe.
And who can forget the Airbnb listing in December 2021, allowing families to step into Kevin's shoes for a night? Now, the opportunity to own this piece of cinematic history is knocking.
