Home Alone, the cult classic comedy which turned Macaulay Culkin into one of the most recognizable child actors ever, is as present on our TV screens now as it was when it was first released in November 1990. The McCallister house became a character in its own right, with its picture-perfect exterior and festive décor now synonymous with holiday cheer.
And as it turns out, the gorgeous family home from Home Alone is as real as can be. Built in 1920, the Winnetka, Illinois house used for the first Home Alone movie belonged to John and Cynthia Abendshien. The red-brick, Georgian-style home sits on a half-acre lot and has about 4,200 square feet of living space. The house has five bedrooms, including a four-room master suite, which spans the entire west wing of the home, and three-and-a-half bathrooms.
If you’re wondering where to find it in real life, the real Home Alone house’s address is 671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, IL 60093 (though we’re pretty sure the new owners would rather not have fans lingering outside, so please respect their privacy).
In 2012, the real-life McCallister home in Winnetka, Illinois, sold for $1.585 million, a relative bargain compared to its original listing price of $2.4 million. Now, the property’s value is estimated to be over $2,000,000, but it hasn’t been listed for sale since 2012. In late 2022, the median list price of homes in Winnetka, IL was $1.5M, trending up 3.5% year-over-year.
