The home that was the setting for the entire Home Alone movie, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, is now for sale and has been listed at $2.4 million. It's the first time the house has been on the market since the film debuted in 1990.

Now's your chance to buy a piece of cinematic and Christmas history.

More from the Wall Street Journal:

The home is located in Winnetka, Ill. and the sellers, Cynthia and John Abendshien, had no ties to the movie business before their house starred in the blockbuster film. They've owned the house since 1988. "We're both empty nesters, and it's really more house than we need or utilize," says Mr. Abendshien, who owns a consulting firm that caters to the health-care industry.

Awesome!

Quite interesting story alright but just thinking aloud here, is it necessary that every news that surfaces online has to be made a thread on AH?

Let's not forget the fire-crackers-in-a-bucket trick. I think all that may have been slightly modified though, I don't think it was part of the standard security package.

AH is where RTE gets its info.

I wonder is that tarantula still roaming around the place?

Wouldn't buy it. It doesn't help if you have a blockbuster film that points out the security flaws in your house, as well as the internal floor plan.


Then again, it is only $2.4 million

El Guapo!

I wonder if the creepy old guy still lives nearby.

Does Macauley come with the house or do you have to pay extra?

I see this as a quirky story i hadn't heard of it until now, so i dont see the problem with it. On the first page of AH there are 3 late late show threads is that necessary???

Take a chill pill! like I said I was just thinking aloud.

I just think it isn't a story to start a thread on. In all honesty, I haven't read the ones you mentioned but then each to their own, whatever makes people sleep at night.

Well i would agree with you that there are a lot of threads started that are just recycled news stories but how do you filter out the good ones?

I don't know, but look at it this way. If you want your driveway cleared of snow or some random act of physical assault - he's your man.

Jeeze you learn something new everyday. Only clicking that he was the weird guy whistling "She'll be coming 'round the mountain" in Close Encounters and the small time judge in Doc Hollywood. RIP COG.
