A slice of cinematic nostalgia has entered the real estate fray in suburban Chicago as the home featured in "Home Alone" as the residence of "Old Man Marley" is listed for sale, according to NBC Chicago. Situated at 681 Lincoln Ave., this six-bedroom, seven-bath house, previously listed at $4,195,000, has seen a price cut and is now available for nearly $3.8 million. Potential owners would be acquiring more than just a piece of film history with amenities such as a large outdoor pool, a putting green, and a half-basketball court.

The property was relisted in September after it was removed from the market the previous month following its initial listing in July; this particular house, while known for its cinematic presence, is not the central home that notoriously attracts visiting fans. Meanwhile the iconic house next door, the McAllister family's home from the Christmas classic, located at 671 Lincoln Ave., might also soon welcome new residents, with its Zillow listing marked as "pending" since late August, joining a history of rapid listing status changes that included a "contingent" stage in early June.

In an additional glimpse into the home's history, CBS News Chicago remarks on the abode's journey through the market with its earlier price tag of $4.8 million before the current adjustment. Its neighbor, on the market for $5.2 million, boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and an indoor sports court – and last sold in 2012 for $1.585 million after an asking price of $2.4 million, indicating the fluctuating nature of these famed properties' valuations over time.

The "McCallister house" not only gained renown from its Hollywood credentials but also for its 1920 construction and distinction in print, having been featured in an issue of "Better Homes & Gardens" magazine in 1974, according to Vanity Fair; despite its fame, the current market endeavors for these homes speak to a broader trend of historical homes transforming from lived-in spaces to celebrated real estate prices.
