The McCallister family home in both films. In the first film Kevin wakes up here alone after his family has left for Paris without him, enjoys the empty house and then gets ready for the two burglars who want to rob it; in the second the family leaves from here again for the airport. A real filming location for the outside: most rooms were rebuilt on a set in a school gym, and the house has been renovated inside since. It is a private home.
