They forgot Kevin! Iconic mansion featured in Christmas classic Home Alone opens its doors and looks radically different after modern makeover

The stunning 1920's mansion, located near Chicago, provided an important component of the 1990 family comedy blockbuster and has now undergone a dramatic makeover. Many scenes in the movie were filmed in the three-storey house including those featuring the kitchen, the main staircase, basement and most of the first floor landing. In 2012 the property changed hands with the buyers getting something of a bargain after the sellers agreed to take $1.58 million - nearly $1 million less than their original asking price. Home Alone fans will remember the colonial-style building as the home of the McCallisters, and of course, the battlefield where young Kevin took on those bumbling burglars.
