When Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) was accidentally left "Home Alone" in the film, the Wet Bandits (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) were only his first fear. His next door neighbor, Old Man Marley (Roberts Blossom), had sent shivers down Kevin’s spine ever since his older brother told him that the old guy was actually "the South Bend Shovel Slayer" who, back in 1958, murdered his entire family. This was a large burden of fear to carry, in addition to foiling the antics of the Wet Bandits. However, as it sometimes happens in movieland, Kevin befriended the old man, who, it turns out, did not really murder his family. In the end, Old Man Marley saved the day and Kevin by hitting the Wet Bandits over their heads with his trusty snow shovel, just seconds before they were going to bite off Kevin’s fingers.

Now Old Man Marley’s Winnetka house, next door to Kevin’s "Home Alone" house, is up for sale. Just two blocks from Lake Michigan’s parks and beach, the three-story, 6,863-square-foot 1898 house is sited on two-thirds of an acre with seven bedrooms, six baths, media-guest room, library, mud room, exercise room, wet bar, first and second floor laundries, and, of course, a large attic. The rear elevation is surrounded with large porches and decks overlooking the pool, pergola and putting green.

Winnetka, the Native Indian name for "beautiful land," is a suburb of Chicago just 16 miles north of the city. Incorporated in 1869, the village offers tree-shaded streets and neighborhoods with large homes and manicured grounds as well as three quaint in-town business districts. For more information.
