The new owners of the real-life house featured in the 1990 holiday classic Home Alone are restoring it to its former glory after a sleek, ultra-modern renovation sparked backlash from fans of the film.
The iconic Winnetka, Illinois, home — used as the McCallister family residence in Home Alone and its 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York — was purchased earlier this year for $5.25 million. The buyers are now in the midst of a renovation project aimed at recreating the warm, colorful interior seen in the original movie.
