A little over 12 years after it was last sold to its current owners, Tim and Trisha Johnson, for nearly $1.6 million, a recently revamped home in an affluent Chicago suburb along Lake Michigan’s North Shore is back on the market. This time, however, the lavish Georgian-style mansion is listed for just under $5.2 million.

An indoor basketball court.
A fireside family room.
A screened porch.
Nestled behind a wrought-iron gate on a tree-lined street in East Winnetka, the mansion was originally built in 1921 and underwent extensive renovation and expansion in 2018. If the house looks familiar, it’s likely due to its starring role in the classic 1990 film “Home Alone,” where it served as the residence of 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), who famously defended it from two bumbling burglars.
An office space.
The listing by Coldwell Banker Realty’s Dawn McKenna Group describes it as a “rare opportunity to own one of the most iconic movie residences in American pop culture.” The stately red brick structure features five bedrooms and six baths across more than 9,100 square feet of multi-level living space, replete with modern amenities.
The primary suite.
Highlights of the main level include a grand entry foyer that leads to a formal dining room on one side and a fireside living room on the other. A family room with a coffered ceiling opens to a screened porch warmed by a wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent gourmet kitchen boasts dual islands, top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast nook with a built-in banquette.
An attic bedroom.
The main floor also houses an office, a cozy den, and a mudroom. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a marble-clad bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate shower. A former attic space has been converted into a guest bedroom with its own bath, and the finished basement includes a lounge area, a wet bar-equipped game room, a movie theater, a gym, and an indoor sports court with a true 3-point line.
The movie theater.
The property, spanning just over a half-acre, includes grassy grounds, a hot tub, and a wood deck ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. An attached heated three-car garage and an additional parking bay complete this luxurious offering.
