The house from Home Alone is on the market! However, you’re going to have to have Macaulay Culkin money in order to purchase it!

The iconic home in Winnetka, Illinois boats five bedrooms, six bathrooms, an indoor sports court, a home movie theatre, and more than 9,000 feet of square footage! Not to mention it’s one of the most famous and recognizable houses in the world! Here’s more on the house from Home Alone being on the market below!

House From Home Alone On The Market

So, with all of that and its impressive history–how much will this home cost? Well, it’s certainly not cheap! According to LAD Bible, the mansion could be yours for $5,250,000!

Of course, you should note that it’s been, like, 30 years since the hit movie came out. So, obviously the house isn’t going to look the same as it did in the movie. The out-of-style wallpaper, heavy furniture, and colorful paint that were common in the 90’s are no longer there. The house underwent a full and extensive renovation back in 2018, per LAD Bible. Now, it’s much more up to date and follows the trends of today.

However, it still looks like the house from Home Alone on the exterior and it still has those bones! This would be an incredible home for any fan of the movie. I wonder if anyone has ever thought about trying to do what the Wet Bandits could not and try to rob the place. That would be kind of interesting. To say you got away with what they couldn’t? Of course, as we’ve seen in the movies it is pretty risky. I don’t think I would take the chance.

Check out what the home is looking like these days below!

Dawn McKenna Group on Instagram: "Ever wanted to live like Kevin McCallister? Now is your chance to fulfill your childhood dreams! The iconic Home Alone house is up for sale for $5.25 Million. 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! See for yourself... #chicago #homealonehouse #luxuryrealestate #chicagorealestate"

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

Chuck The Freak's List Of 8 Unlikely 80s Icons

The 80s were a time to remember. You had rock gods, Hollywood superstars, and mesmerizing athletes. Here is Chuck The Freak’s list of 8 unlikely 80s icons.

Not every 80s icon was one you’d expect. This group of people are the unsung heroes. Ones that the everyday Joe can relate to.

Chuck The Freak’s List Of 8 Unlikely 80s Icons

Chuck The Freak‘s list is different than most lists featuring 80s icons. Personally, I find it more relatable. There are tons of obvious heroes and icons of the 80s. However, the unlikely 80s icons don’t receive as much love. They deserve recognition.

In this list, we’ll introduce you, or probably re-introduce you, to some of the finest folks the 80s had to offer. You’ll likely remember some of these familiar characters. If not, we’re happy to introduce you to them for the first time!

Now, these individuals are all icons for their own unique reasons. Some, are relatable every day Joe’s who we can see ourselves in. Others, are pure testosterone driven Alpha Males. Then, you’ll find everywhere in between as well.

There are characters from classic movies and cult favorites. Even a couple of singers made the list. It’s funny, the 80s were a vastly different time. Some of the people on the list are still famous today, but they aren’t nearly the same type of person or level they were in the 80s.

The younger generation may see some of these names and be totally confused. “How was that guy an icon?” Well, times were different. Our superstars weren’t the same back then.

You ready to check out the list? Chuck The Freak provided the examples and quotes. Then, I filled in the rest with some commentary on his choices. Can you think of any unlikely 80s icons before we get to the list? Take a second. Think about it. Ready? Let’s get to the list!

  • Saxophone Player From The Lost Boys

    “Part of my inspiration to pick up and play the sax.”

    Remember this guy? He definitely was an 80s icon. The sax? Check. The hair? Check. The muscles? Oh, definitely check. We salute you, Saxophone Guy!

  • Chunk From Goonies

    “Unfortunately, it became my nickname for a while.”

    Chunk The Freak? It does have a ring to it. Chunk was the greatest character in the movie. There’s no debate to it. Even in 2024, the Truffle Shuffle lives on in infamy.

  • Chet From Weird Science

    “Became my model for how to be an older brother. He was the worst older brother ever!”

    Chet was certainly an example of the worst older brother ever. However, he’s also an example of what goes around comes around. He was a jerk and a bully. What happens to bullies? They get turned into a pile of poop. Remember that, kids.

  • John Cusack

    “Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Say Anything…all movies that had a major impact on my life.”

    Chuck isn’t alone there! Those were some of the best movies from the decade. Man, Cusack was everywhere back in the 80s! Now, he’s known by the younger generation as the guy from Hot Tub Time Machine. Man, I miss the 80s.

  • Schwarzenegger In Comando

    “Amazing!”

    I was hoping for a little more insight there, Chuck. However, this will do. I mean, really, what more can you say? That movie was amazing. He was amazing in it. Everything about Schwazenegger in Comando was amazing.

  • Doug Masters In Iron Eagle

    “The little-known OTHER airplane movie. I wanted to be a fighter pilot as a kid because of this movie and Top Gun.”

    Well, things don’t always end up going as planned. Seriously, can you picture Chuck as a fighter pilot? That would be amazing. Please make sure there’s a camera in the cockpit. This movie screams 80s!

  • Wolfgang From Explorers

    “River Phoenix as a computer nerd who builds a space ship.”

    Even the description of the movie sounds so 80s. You don’t get movies like that any more. He pulled it off! What a talented family. It’s wild. It wasn’t a success in the box office, but lives as a cult favorite.

  • David Bowie In Labyrinth

    “Mostly for his choice of pants.”

    Those were some tight pants. I mean that in both ways. Bowie was iconic in this role. He was great as Jareth The Goblin King! It lives on as one of the most iconic roles from the 80s. Rest In Peace!
