Home Alone House Sells for a Third Off

One of the most iconic movie  homes – the Home Alone house, which helped propel Macaulay Culkin to stardom, has finally found a new owner.

Contact the appraisers at www.socalappraisalserv.com to determine the value of your home before listing.

First listed back in May for $2.4 million, the 4,250-square-foot, 4 bedroom, 3+ bathroom home sits on a half acre lot in the well to do Chicago suburb of Winnetka.  The 3 story house has taken a bit of time and price slashing – last list price before it went into contract was $1.95 million.  The new owner got further concessions and the final price paid was $1.585 million.

The sellers, John and Cynthia Abendshien, had only lived in the house for a year and a half when they were approached by the director of Home Alone to use their house.
