If you ever thought, "Man it'd be nice to live in that house," while watching Home Alone, now's your chance!

The famous roof over Macaulay Culkin's then little head is now for sale!

Interested? Here are the deets...

According to a press release, the Chicago-area home, described as "a piece of cinematic history and refined Georgian charm," is going for $2.4 million.

The previous owner, John Abendshien, had great things to say about his soon-to-be former house.

"This property has been home to our family for more than 20 years, and has been a perfect location for us to raise our daughter," he says. "There is such a strong sense of community in Winnetka and we will always have fond memories of the fun we've had here and the many people we've come to know and love."

Built in the 1920's, the residence has four bedrooms, including the "attic bedroom," and two grand suites. A four-room master suite, which spans the entire west wing of the home, provides ample comfort and privacy. The house also features a large sunroom, spacious master bath and an elegant sitting room with built-in bookcases, a wood-burning fireplace with a carved marble mantle.

Sounds good, no?

As far as crime statistics, we hope it's not as bad as in the movie.
