One of the most famous movie homes in history—the Home Alone house—has officially been sold, and the final price is jaw-dropping.
Located in Winnetka, Illinois, this legendary mansion just changed hands for $5.5 million, far exceeding its original asking price.
The house became a cultural landmark thanks to its starring role in the 1990 Christmas classic Home Alone. Listed for sale in May 2024, it didn’t take long to find a buyer—just seven months later, the deal closed at well above the asking price.
Previous owners Tim and Trisha Johnson had purchased the home back in 2012 for $1.5 million. Since then, they’ve renovated the property, bringing it to over 9,000 square feet of luxury living space.
While the Home Alone exterior is instantly recognizable, most of the film’s interior scenes were actually shot on a set built inside a nearby high school gym. But the real house holds its own charm.
After its 2018 renovation, the mansion now boasts:
- 5 spacious bedrooms
- 6 luxury bathrooms
- A chef-style kitchen with high-end appliances and a built-in banquette
- An elegant primary suite with a spa bathroom
- A junior suite in the attic with beautiful views
- A fully finished basement with a gym, theater room, bar, and game area
- An indoor sports court for year-round fun
Built in 1920, the home is a true piece of movie history and still draws fans from all over the world—especially during the holiday season. It’s not uncommon for police to increase patrols around the area during December to manage the flood of tourists.
Owning a house like this isn’t just about luxury—it’s about owning a pop culture icon. Sure, there might be a little extra foot traffic around Christmas, but for fans of film and architecture alike, it’s a small price to pay.
