The Home Alone house -- a great place to call home 

Imagine watching home alone in the home alone house

I like the way it looked in the Home Alone movie.

if I ever get to live in that houses I would make it look like it did in the movie

if I had the money I would buy this house and turn the inside back to the way it was in the movie

"Ever since I laid eyes on that house I wanted it!" - Marv (former cat burglar) ;)

If i was rich i'd buy this house and restore it back to the way it looked in home alone

It’s a beautiful house, granted, but it looked more homely in Home Alone. You know, more warm and welcoming. The kind of house you’d wanna live in if you had pots of money! 😍

The interiors look much better in the movie, the interiors suck now.

This made me sad,someone must wasn’t a fan of home alone

The same way they renovated the interior of the Brady Bunch house to make it look like it did on the show, they should do the same thing with this house!

It isn’t a house..it’s a palace! Just so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️

I want to buy it when I’m older and turn it back to what it looked like in the movie

They only used the house for the exterior shots and a couple of the shots in the entrance. Most the interior scenes were filmed on sets. The sets were actually built in a large school gym. I think they did use the stairs though for the scene where Kevin sledges down them

The house looks cold and boring. Bring back Kevin’s house.

they should have kept it exactly the same as from the movie, then it would be worth 10 million!

I miss watching the movie. It was part of my childhood in the 90s.

I’ve never seen so many home alone recommendations in my life

I liked it the way it was in the movie. it seems boring now. the way it was in the movie it felt like home

I'm happy that it's actually a real house and wasn't just some fake film set in a studio 😊

Love this house but, I wish it looked the same as it did in the movie. In the movie it had a warmer family feeling. The updates seem a bit cold.

Beautiful house. Lucky who ever lives there now.

My God. They literally chose the most beautiful house in that neighborhood

It's very impressive to me how Kevin remodeled it all by himself after the mess caused by Joe Pesci and his friend.

I like how she’s still telling you about one room as you’re already walking into the next.😂

This is such an iconic house! Lady put me to sleep! I agree with the rest of you, the original was so much better.

Marv and Harry sure did love that house!😂

Can't believe they never showed the basement

I agree. Sometimes updating isn't a good thing.. I do love the wood cabinets..

Does the basement still has the Evil Furnace?

That house is beautiful inside. I wish I could buy it.

What a place. Knew it was big, but I didn't think it was this HUGE. 4250 sq. ft. house. I know some group made modified floor plans of it called the McCallister which can easily be found on the internet. I was actually hoping to see glances at the upper floors to see what was changed and different in the plans as compared with the original--can't quite tell from the movies. Not exactly, and the modified plans are only two-story though it includes windows of the third. I have some rough idea. I'd like to make a 3D model of of this house, and its lot. Just because it's such a classic, and it is something which I fondly remember. Myself and millions of others I'm sure. As a little kid I loved the movie (and its sequel) and always wondered about this house in real life. I'm sure whomever bought it for $1.85M or so must be really pleased with themselves right now. An old french style colonial era looking house. Well built, and from a different time, surely.

i wish a fan would buy the house and have it remodeled to look exactly like it did in the film. cant believe these new owners are changing things and making it look bad.

Wow if I live in a place like that my life would be settled

I love the movie it's one of my favorite holiday movies. And I have seen it being I live in Chicago in the Rogers Park naighberhood just a few steps from Evanston. I also have friends who live in Winnetka so every year I go visit them I would always ask them can we go around to see the Christmas Lights people put on their homes and go by the Home Alone House and we always do but I it's always dark so I really have to go in the day to get pictures of it.

KEVIN, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM?

So beautiful. My 1st favorite house on a movie is a Nightmare on elm street. It just sad that I couldn’t ever buy one these homes.it would definitely be awesome though. Thanks for showing the video.

house flows like a river. stunning.

Love your video. My sister has been there and she loved it. I hope to visit the house one day.

This house is absolutely amazing

I wish I would've had the money to buy it. I would have redecorated it to be more reminiscent of the way it looked in the movie-minus the wall paper. I hate the gray walls. makes it look so sterile. I would repaint it with all of the red and green tones.

Expensive house in a super rich neighborhood. If I ever win lotto I'll buy that house from the owner and move in.

People who bought this house a few years ago, should convert that into a museum and made the interior how it was during The Home Alone. They will earn a fortune on it.

I like how he seams to glide away from here as she is talking and doesn't give a care.

Beautiful home!

Great video and amazing home

That rear patio is now gone as the current owners added a HUGE addition to the rear of the house.

.always loved this house

Ever since I laid my eyes on that house I wanted it!

Beautiful Home

The house looks like every 80s movie house!

I went past there last week and the house has got a railing fence around it now. I guess the owners got sick of people trespassing. Beautiful neighbourhood though.

I Love that house I Love really nice things .😘😊😊.

This is the Big House for a lot of a Family. I Wish i can live there

The house that we see at the start, just before the home alone house! Wow! 😳 😯 😳

wow imagin actually living in that house you would always be making references to the move lol it would be so cool i wonder if the treehouse is still out back

Did anybody order me a plain cheese?

Such a beautiful home. I'm glad that in the US things like this are treasured - as an Aussie I can assure you that if this house was in Sydney or Melbourne, some developer would've bought it up and bulldozed it so they can build some monstrosity in its place.

Was waiting on the realtor lady to yell KEVIN!!!

The family living Room is my favorite part of the house

Beautiful hause...

Great house!!! The only bad thing is that, people will come and look at the house EVERYDAY, and thats pretty anoying...! But IF I had to money and it wasn't used in a movie, I would probably buy it...! :) LOL

Inside Home Alone house, everything looks so different from the 1990s.

I was just speaking my mind! It's a beautiful house, I just disagree with the decor haha

This house was used ONLY for EXTERIOR shots. The inside shots were all done in a studio!!

if i had money , i would buy it , and make it look like the way it was in the movie

Beautiful house but I agree, the nostalgia was lost. Restore it back to how it was

Fun fact: This real estate woman is fibbing. Just like the "A Christmas Story" house in Cleveland Ohio, The "Home Alone" house in Winnetka Illinois was only used for Exterior scenes in the movie. No Interior scenes were shot at all in the house which is why the family living there at the time was still allowed to live in the house during shooting having to "crawl" under windows at times. The inside of the house was meticulously recreated by carpenters and set decorators in the abandoned at the time New Trier Township West high school campus gymnasium nearby also in Winnetka, where the actors did all the inside scenes. For front door and window scenes in the house looking from inside to the outside, huge photographs were take from inside of this real house looking out and then cleverly blown up to scale and used as a backdrop and properly lighted in the gymnasium for the recreated house. Even the snow at this real house exterior was all white mats of fake snow and potato flake machines to make it seem like a blizzard. The fantastic genius John Hughes, who wrote and produced Home Alone and hired Chris Columbus to direct, had an aversion to everything hollywood and did not like Studio execs interfering during filming, had the power and clout to not only stay living in his beloved adopted home state of Illinois, where he grew up in Northbrook, and bought a house in Lake Forest, suburbs of Chicago, he also chose to shoot most of his movies there, far from the grasps of studio heads, where he could shoot his movies his way.

I wish I could go visit that house

not only famous but very unique and beautiful house... i go and search for it on Streetview, I hope I'll find the church as well :D

Yes, 3 years ago, i was on holiday and the flight happened to land in Chicago from Helsinki. Then i remember that the movie was filmed in the rich district on the city and i managed to get a private tour inside with couple other fans.

Haha hè doesnt even let the woman explain Every room, he just barges through the house.. Very rude

I will buy this home one day I guarantee it

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but absolutely none of Home Alone was filmed inside the home. It’s was strictly the exterior. That’s it. The crew couldn’t fit all of their equipment inside the home. So they built a complete home (although nowhere near as big as this home) inside the gymnasium of New Trier High School, which is near this home in Winnetka, IL. Also, the house they built is only very loosely based on this. It’s really not all that similar.

In the film it was all Christmasy 😍 now it looks ok I think pple r used and prefer the way it looked in the movie as they relate to being a Christmas house/movie x

I would love to live in this home. If I owned this house, I would renovate it back to what if was in the movie! Just a little bit more modern touch

Man, they screwed up the kitchen! I really miss the red tile too.

All of the interiors were shot on a set.

0:30 Cars are still there. They're not at the airport. :o LOVE this area. High trees, quiet place, beautiful houses and probably AWESOME and friendly Neighbors :)

It needs to be restored to the original because it’s America’s Christmas Home ❄️🎄🎅🏻

If I had it my way I would keep the interior.

The kitchen looks better in the movie. Wish they would have shown the upstairs

If im not mistaken, i do believe that the actually shot the stair-scene in the real house, but the rest was studio..

This house is gorgeous..I'm not a fan of soo many open windows but during the day it's jus spectacular..I agree with gtafan94 I wish they were able to keep the same replica of the movie..the depiction of the home in the movie was beautiful as well..beautiful home

It makes me sad that they updated it. I know it sounds crazy but after growing up seeing it all colorful and now seeing it updated modern and sterile. It just makes me sad. 😭😢

The kitchen looks like a GREAT place to make some delicious MAC and CHEESE!!!

would love to live here, if i were rich i would call this place home too, plus i grew up in Milwaukee, so close

Oh god how much i want to live in that house

Chris Columbus said the interior was done on a set. The wallpaper was all Christmas colors, plus they can’t exactly send the Wet Bandits into a 2.4 Million dollar house to break their necks in. Most houses in movies are Establishing shots. Some outside. Inside very different. Home Alone was unique that they took a lot of real interior inspiration. I wish the city had bought it or someone who really would make it a museum. But money talks.

Watching in 2021 because Nostalgia

wow they really changed it a lot they should just decorate it like the movie lol and bump up the price another million.

People often "stage" their home when they're selling. The people living here obviously had a bit of money to invest in doing the same. They should have decorated certain rooms in a similar yet updated way. The kitchen they could keep cause that new one is gorgeous but the front hall should be dramatic damask paper like the movie. They would have made so much more money doing just that one thing.

1:58 that's where Kevin was decorating the Christmas tree and saw Pesci looking thru the window

Do you people not understand that the interior scenes of the McAllister house were shot on a set they built. Only the exteriors of the house were used for filming.

I had no idea it was a real house! how cool. She says Georgian house so is that the same as in the UK was it built between 1720 - 1840? It looks too new for that to be true

They never used the interior of this home I the movie only the exterior the inside was a set built inside a old school gym

@SouthernSOM Euros Dollars Pounds Whatever!!! I love that house and I thought mine was big but now I have seen that Wow!!

I think I saw the box where Buzz kept his Playboy’s!

Wow, I watched a idea, where they said not once scene was filmed inside of the house, but I didn’t know that the Filmset interior was modeled after the real interior

@WonderWomn87 i wanted to see the attic with the hide-a-bed lol.

so different!
