If you’re from Chicago, you’ve probably seen the iconic “Home Alone” house at least once in your life, especially since it’s just a quick drive from the city.
However, over the years, the house’s transformation has been quite jarring.

Earlier this year, after being sold for over $5 million, the home’s interior went viral on social media, with fans expressing disappointment over the transformation into a modern style—quite a contrast from its nostalgic appearance in the classic holiday movie.
‘Home Alone’ house returning to its ’90s look
The good news is that the home is set to undergo another major renovation, this time aimed at restoring it to its original ’90s look.
According to NBC Chicago, the interior is currently being restored to match its appearance in the original 1990 blockbuster film.
