House featured in 'Home Alone' for sale

Owners asking $2.4 million

WINNETKA, Ill. (AP) - The 14-room brick house featured in the movie "Home Alone" is up for sale in suburban Chicago for $2.4 million.

Owners John and Cynthia Abendshien bought the red-brick Gregorian in 1988 for $875,000. They tell the Chicago Tribune that they know it's not the best time to put a high-end home on the market, but they hope the home's notoriety will help.

The 1990 movie featured a young Macaulay Culkin defending the house from intruders.

The house has 4,250 square feet and sits on a half-acre lot in suburban Winnetka, which is about 20 miles north of Chicago. There are four bedrooms and it features the staircase that Culkin sledded down in the movie.

Only pre-qualified buyers can make appointments to see the house, and no open houses are planned.
