House from "Home Alone" movie up for sale! (@MakellBird)

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 written by John Hughes featured a young Macaulay Culkin defending the house from intruders.

The 4,250-square foot house sits on a half-acre lot in suburban Winnetka, 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.

@GlassFilms39 It is kind of shocking to see in real life because it just seems so small. The movie makes it seem so BIG and we saw it for the first time a few days ago and we were all like "that's it?" lol
