1 and 2 every Christmas as well as many times throughout the year. Oh, Julia…you are a girl after my own heart! I ADORED this house and the movie, I watch H.A. Visit my Houses Onscreen page to see the other movies I’ve featured, listed A-Z. UPDATE: The house sold for $1.585 million in 2012. It really is a residential masterpiece.” For photos and information about 671 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, Illinois, check the listing, Inside the Real Home Alone House, and the EW article.
Listing agent Marissa Hopkins of Coldwell Banker says, “The $2.4 million isn’t just because of its cinematic history. It was an amazing experience.Īfter looking through the listing photos, I’m amazed by how different the house looks without the red and green accents, as well as all the patterned wallpapers it had in the movie. The whole crew actually stayed in the house for months with my Aunt Uncle & cousin. It is true, a lot of filming took place on a soundstage, but that is ONLY for the upstairs scenes.Īll scenes that took place on the first floor were most certainly filmed in the actual home. The production dug that and put it in for filming only, then buried and covered it back up afterward. There is also no entry way to the basement from outside. My uncle did not want another floor put over his basement opening for the 2nd filming. If you notice in the first movie, shots looking towards the staircase in the foyer, you can see to the right in the back, the opening to the kitchen, as well as the “fake” staircase.īUT in the second movie, looking in that same direction, up the foyer staircase, towards the back to the right, you clearly see a door with hinges that lead into the kitchen. They covered the opening going downstairs and made flooring for the film, and put a fake staircase going up. That same staircase was used by all of the cast, the same wallpaper in each room, for years! It has just recently been painted within the last couple years.

They were approached about having the movie filmed there and declined at first, but changed their minds when asked again. Sarah, whose aunt and uncle owned the house, answered some of my burning questions:

There is a large grandfather clock in the dining room to look at whilst eating Mac and cheese. The master bedroom has a beautiful king-sized bed, suited for jumping.Īs mentioned before, this is a perfect Christmas house and could be decorated as such. There is a grand kitchen perfect for hosting large family pizza parties.
A gorgeous television that plays mafia movies not appropriate for children. There is an attic, perfect for sending a small child after having acted like a jerk. This house also has a back door through which if a home-invader tried to open, one could rig a blowtorch to burn their head. There is a doggy door, however rather than for dogs it could be used to shoot a BB gun through. In addition, one could spray water on the stairs in Ofer to make it slippery. The front door has a handle that could potentially be used to burn a home-invaders hand. Firstly, it has many large rooms perfect for filling with Christmas decorations and booby traps. This is the perfect Christmas home on so many degrees. Someone had some fun with the listing description for the “Home Alone” house on Zillow: The Real “Home Alone” House Floor Plan: The house has 3 stories and 5 bedrooms. I think that the lights and the actors shouting, and me yelling ‘Action!’ probably got on a few peoples’ nerves.” “We would be shooting from like 5:30 at night to 6 in the morning. That meant all the stunts that happened outside of the house happened at night: It was a low-budget film, so they couldn’t afford to build a (fake) exterior of the house on a separate sound stage. I’ve wanted a back staircase leading to my kitchen ever since I saw this one in the movie:Ĭhristopher Columbus says the neighbors were “extremely cooperative” during filming. It’s the kind of house if you were a kid it would be fun to be left home alone.” Columbus says, “We needed to cast a house that would work for the stunts and also a house that was visually appealing and, if this makes sense, warm and menacing at the same time.
