The Home Alone House, or more precisely 671 Lincoln Avenue, is a three-storey detached house that was used while shooting the movies Home Alone (1990) and parts of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992). It exists in Illinois on the outer suburbs of Chicago, in the village of Winnetka which is located around 19 miles (30km) north of the city in Cook County. The house was built in 1920, and boasts some luxurious features including: 5 bathrooms, a fireplace, a large basement, fully-converted attic (2nd floor), a separate double garage (to the left) and a green house (to the right) of the building when looked at from the front. It is owned by a single family, who purchased the house on December 15th, 1988 and have lived there since. The estimated price of this historic private residence is just under $2.4 million as of May 2008, according to Zillow.com, and has been escalating ever since it became famous. This works out at $558 per squared foot. The 2006 property tax for the home was $24,059.
