The new owners hate its history and fenced it off and are apparently aggressive to pilgrims. Honestly if you buy a famous movie home you should accept what that means.
I agree! You’re like the curator of a museum. Years ago friends of ours were looking at The Soprano’s house in North Caldwell NJ, and they passed on it; because, they had the sense, and foresight to know their limitations. My husband has been obsessed with the Home Alone house since the movie first came out…and he is someone that would go outside, and talk to people looking, if we lived there❤
@@orbitarea6190Shocking Fact: The interior of the house you've seen in the movie is actually a stage set filmed in an abandoned high school gymnasium. They sketched up the floor plan from the inside of the the home and then built a replication of the interior design. They only filmed the exterior of the house on location. The basement entrance you also see in the movie isn't real. The crew dug a hole behind the house and filled it back in when they're done filming. The basement interior was also a stage set filmed in a swimming pool.
So, I watched a doc about the house, and john hughes invited them to visit the set and they were quite shocked on how different it all looked... they had quite minimalist tastes and were afraid people would think their home looked like that inside... hughes actually said "It is a bit garish, isn't it"
Also the interior of the house was a set off site from the real house for the filming of the movie. Apparently they didn’t actually film inside the house.
The indoor scenes were filmed on a set/in studio. They used the facade for the outdoor scenes, they probably had a look around the house for inspiration.
The home was only used for the exteriors and for the layout. All interior shots were filmed on a replica of the house build in a school gymnasium. I bet the family thought nobody would ever find out they never filmed there.
Rather then someone really living there someone should bye it and restore it like it was in home alone and make it into an attraction for the fans to see
I totally agree with this. Would be neat to be restored to how it looked in the movie. Charge a low admission cost and let people go see it; take photos. That would be a big "tourist attraction," I'm pretty sure.
Yes it's true! The built the whole interior set in a gymnasium. I don't know why the seller told the story of building a ramp on the stairs. Maybe $$$?!
Though much of the film was shot on a soundstage, the house itself was featured in exterior shots, as well as INTERIOR shots centered around the living room and the foyer’s grand staircase. Check out the youtube channel *22 Vision* he showed all the filming locations
@@romankoryaI just seen a make of the part when Kevin slid down the stairs. There was a ramp that was built in the hallway of the real house that was used to slide down outside. You can see this at around 26:40 into the movie.
The owners of the House or overselling as most of the movie wasn't filmed in the house it was filmed in a abandoned school where they filmed the breakfast club watch the movies that made us...... the owners are talking out of their bum pipe probably how they came to on the house lol
@@chefmesser420 None of the scenes shown in the movie were shot in the house. A 1 to 1 replica of the house was built in a school gym. However, I just seen a make of the part when Kevin slid down the stairs. There was a ramp that was built in the hallway of the real house that was used to slide down outside.

I agree. What I saw in the movie was great. Everything looked beautiful and perfectly kept up house. That's my favorite part of the movie, is seeing the beautiful home.
I never would have bought it. If you know it attracts so much attention the why even buy it. I wouldn't want all those people constantly coming up to the house.
Well the new owners shouldn’t of bought the famous house knowing the house was used in my favorite movie 🎥 home alone . Move then lol 😆 people are crazy 🤡🎈. Putting a big fence up like it’s a fancy prison. Hollywood should buy it and, restore it to movie glory home alone set 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Theyve even got it blurred out on google maps

Yeah i rode by yesterday to see it and it just made my day lol! The new owners should definitely embrace it.
@@piapadmore430 I wish you and your husband had bought it. 🥴
I'd love to own that home just so I could pull up in my SUV smoking a cigar@@piapadmore430
in the movie the house was warm and cozy now it just looks cold and boring.
Right it’s sad I just wonder why they didn’t leave the house the same it historically and a icon it’s sad how it ended

@@chrisbailey7384 and so it is with almost every movie set ...

@@chrisbailey7384 they filmed the stair sled scene on location
Just imagine watching home alone in the home alone house lol 😂
Imagine watching home alone in the home alone home while home alone
Macaulay Culkin ought to buy it.
Funny how everything in the movies looks so much bigger. Movies are great.
Also the interior of the house was a set off site from the real house for the filming of the movie. Apparently they didn’t actually film inside the house.
Was filmed inside a high school
The indoor scenes were filmed on a set/in studio.
They used the facade for the outdoor scenes, they probably had a look around the house for inspiration.
The house looks dead inside. No warmth, no life.
As opposed to the track home crap you see everywhere? The new cubicle houses that have no soul?
The home was only used for the exteriors and for the layout. All interior shots were filmed on a replica of the house build in a school gymnasium. I bet the family thought nobody would ever find out they never filmed there.
I think they filmed inside the actual house with the staircase shots like in the beginning though.

@@FiveElements00 most definitely it would be great 👍
It still looks nice
I hope an E.T. fan buys Elliot’s house someday. That’s another movie house that I like.
Me too and the poltergeist house in simi valley..ca
I always wonder what people do for aliving to live in such a big home.
Selling weed and drugs
@@turbobuick33 I swear
Lawyers, doctors, nurses and business owners…normal people couldn’t afford this back in 1990 either…
No scenes were filmed inside the house. Everything was filmed on a set.
except the sled scene
From my re-search they didnt do any filming INSIDE the house, the inside scenes were filmed off site. Is that true?
Yes it's true! The built the whole interior set in a gymnasium. I don't know why the seller told the story of building a ramp on the stairs. Maybe $$$?!
@@romankorya Yeah, thats what I read also. Thats why I got confused when the seller was talking about a ramp. I agree with you, maybe about $

THEY ONLY USED THE FRONT YARD VIEW OF THE HOUSE AND THE HOUSE LAYOUT. NO FILMING WAS DONE IN THE HOUSE! Real Estate Agents lying!
the sled scene was filmed inside the house
The owners of the House or overselling as most of the movie wasn't filmed in the house it was filmed in a abandoned school where they filmed the breakfast club watch the movies that made us...... the owners are talking out of their bum pipe probably how they came to on the house lol
Well it sold and actually all of the down stairs scenes were shot in the house the upstairs scenes were the set.

There are no Christmas lights when we see the Christmas video and now it looks cold.
Old style look beter

LOVE KEVIN PITER ARTIST FROM POLAND..
What a sweet couple. The home & movie brings back so many good memories .
Luigis mansion 0 OMG hidden game XD
The Wet Bandits could have redecorated it better! They ruined Kavin's Home!
I bought it 😎
There was a piano in the house but nobody ever played it.
My dad lives in Winnetka
Is it still safe? It's not far from downtown Chicago which is now sliding into anarchy. 😖
@@georgehenderson7783I thought of the exact same question. I’m curious too. I’ll bet it has declined some.
Now the house is worth 2.5 million
Try 5.25 million your comment is only 3 months old , but 5at price would be back in the mid 2000’s
I never would have bought it. If you know it attracts so much attention the why even buy it. I wouldn't want all those people constantly coming up to the house.
Omg they never seen the movie 😂
Would you go to see the house of a great film if everything looks different and boring
“True home”, meaning mansion lol
0:18 - 0:21 Lol
Что они говорят!?подскажите кто нибудь.
I wanna meet her
Hi Marissa, I'd like to make an offer.
Well the new owners shouldn’t of bought the famous house knowing the house was used in my favorite movie 🎥 home alone . Move then lol 😆 people are crazy 🤡🎈. Putting a big fence up like it’s a fancy prison. Hollywood should buy it and, restore it to movie glory home alone set 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
They can put whatever fence up to protect it. It’s theirs, not the public’s 🤨
