Home Alone 1 & 2 - Filming Location (Winnetka, Illinois)

USA / Illinois / Winnetka / Winnetka, Illinois / Lincoln Avenue, 671
 house, movie / film / TV location

This is the house used in Christopher Columbus' Home Alone 1 & 2 films starring Macaulay Culkin.

It was the primary location in the first film where Kevin McCallister (Culkin) is banished up to the attic after an argument, and is subsequently forgotten about when his family travel to Paris, France for Christmas. Whilst his parents are away Kevin manages to destroy his brother Buzz's room, and stops two intruders (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) from robbing his home.

In the second film the house is only used at the beginning as both Kevin and his family leave the house together but end up getting seperated at the airport. His family go to Miami, Florida and Kevin goes to New York City where most of the film is set.

In May 2011 the house was listed for sale for $2.4 million.
