The iconic 'Home Alone' house is back on the market. Take a look at the $5.25 million listing.

  • The "Home Alone" house is for sale once again.

  • The real-life home was used in the 1990 holiday film starring Macaulay Culkin.

  • The owners of the red-brick Georgian Colonial home are asking for $5.25 million.

The real-life home defended by the fictional Kevin McCallister in the classic 1990 Christmas film "Home Alone" is back on the market, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Now, fans can purchase the red-brick Georgian Colonial home for a pretty penny. The owners are asking for $5.25 million, per a Zillow listing of the house.

Realtors for the home did not immediately respond to a request from Business Insider.

Business Insider previously reported that before its current owners purchased the home in 2012, the Abendshien family bought it in 1988 for $800,000.

While the crew filmed "Home Alone," they were anything but — the Abendshien family lived in a makeshift apartment on the second floor.

The historic home is over 100 years old

The single-family home sits 20 miles north of Chicago in Winnetka, Illinois.

According to the listing, the 1921 home is 5,700 square feet on a half-acre and has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

The current owners say tourists often stop by

The Illinois home was purchased by Trisha and Tim Johnson in 2012 for $1.585 million.

The couple told the Journal that tourists often stop by to take photos or recreate McCallister's scream in the movie.

"It's a lot of fun to see people as excited as they are just to see my house," Trisha Johnson said.

The Johnsons have updated much of the interior

Take a look through the Zillow listing, and you'll see a house with many modern fixtures. It's a lot different than the home that many viewers probably remember.

However, the Johnsons told The Journal that they chose to keep some features that highlight iconic scenes from "Home Alone." Trisha Johnson told the Journal that they left intact the front door and the central staircase that McCallister zooms down on a sled.

"That was in the movie and it's classic," she said. "We didn't want to take that out or touch it in any way."

Renovations to the house include a basement overhaul

The Johnsons told the Journal that much of the renovations to the house occurred four years after they purchased it.

The space now includes a home theater with a bar and a massive sports court in the basement.

The couple also added some quirky Lego art to the theater, including a massive Lego statue of McCallister and a replica of the home.
