The 14-room brick house featured in the movie “Home Alone” is up for sale in suburban Chicago for $2.4 million. Owners John and Cynthia Abendshien bought the red-brick Gregorian in 1988 for $875000. They tell the Chicago Tribune that they know it’s not the best time to put a high-end home on the market, but they hope the home’s notoriety will help. The 1990 movie written by John Hughes featured a young Macaulay Culkin defending the house from intruders. The 4250-square foot house sits on a half-acre lot in suburban Winnetka, about 20 miles north of Chicago. There are four bedrooms and it features the staircase that Culkin sledded down in the movie. Only pre-qualified buyers can make appointments to see the house, and no open houses are planned. Original video at www.myfoxchicago.com
