Though the film never mentions exactly what Kevin's parents do for a living, it's safe to say that both the McAllister's would have had to be doing something pretty successful to afford a home as gorgeous and highly sought-after as this one.

Located in the charming neighborhood of Winnetka, Illinois (about 20 miles north of Chicago), the famed McAllister home sits on a half acre with around 4,200 square feet of living space.

"Home Alone" director Chris Columbus shared with Entertainment Weekly that choosing 671 Lincoln Avenue was no easy feat:
"We needed to cast a house that would work for the stunts and also a house that was visually appealing and, if this makes sense, warm and menacing at the same time. It's the kind of house if you were a kid it would be fun to be left home alone... I wanted it to feel timeless."
The home sold in March 2012 for $1.585 million.
"Home Alone" turned 25 last year, and its legacy has definitely been equally as timeless as the house itself.
