Luxury NYC townhome featured in ‘Home Alone 2’ hits market for $6.7million just in time for holidays
The luxurious New York City mansion from the beloved holiday film “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” is now on the market for $6.7 million.
Located on the Upper West Side at 51 West 95th Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, this residence is where Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, outsmarted the 'Sticky Bandits' in the famous scene.
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home looks very different than it did on screen in 1992, when it was owned by Kevin's uncle Rob McCallister in the film.
Although it has been nearly two decades since the film's iconic release, the location still holds significance, as highlighted by real estate agents Dexter Guerrieri and Nicole Kats of Vandenberg of Townhouse Experts TM.
They revealed that the current owners still receive letters from children addressed to the fictional film characters, telling of times when people stood outside taking photos.
