was sold again earlier this year<\/a> for more than $5 million and the home\u2019s new owner is paying for it to return to its nostalgic glory. <\/p>\n \u201cOur vision is to bring back the warmth and just the love from the movie,\u201d Price told NBC Chicago. \u201cThere was so many great colors and it just made you feel like family and like home and we want to bring that magic back.\u201d <\/p>\n
The red-brick, Georgian-style, multi-level mansion features a central staircase with dark wooden banisters, rich wood floors, patterned wallpaper, and classic furnishings. In the film, it\u2019s decorated heavily for Christmas with garlands, lights, a massive tree, cozy lighting and deep red and green colored items everywhere.<\/p>\n
A timeline for the completion of the project was not announced. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe love this movie; it was a really important movie in our childhood and that\u2019s true for the family that owns the house too,\u201d Price told the TV station. <\/p>\n
Directed by Chris Columbus, \u201cHome Alone\u201d is considered a timeless classic, especially around the holidays. It stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, an eight-year-old boy who defends his home from a pair of bumbling robbers after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation to Paris. <\/p>\n
The cast also features Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O\u2019Hara. <\/p>\n
