Yes! I absolutely loved that home and in a way it was a "star" in the film as well. When the house was put on the market, the realty company had a detailed showcasing of the interior and though it was still lovely, much of the warmth and charm seen in the movie set/home was gone. I've actually found myself wanting to copy some of the beautiful touches from the movie in my own home. I think it was a great decision for them to design a set based on an actual home.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Hey! At the 1:37 mark it looks like a long haired old man’s torso is walking past the mom. I know she is holding some clothing, but your still shot is a great illusional effect. Let me know if you see this as well.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I suppose each video you do is a bit different, but I'm wondering about how many hours you put into one of your videos. Each must be a tedious project, but I'm also sure it's a labor of love, and we, of course, are the beneficiaries. Thanks, and happy holidays.
I came from a third world country, without this movie and set my childhood will be incomplete. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT IT BRINGS BACK MY CHILDHOOD. Thank you so much for the content.
Me too! They nailed it. It sets the whole tone of the film. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
This episode of the Home 🏡 Alone home even brought a chuckle 😃 out of me. That film was SEVERELY FUNNY! 😄😁😆🤣😂 🎄🧨🎁🥌🛷🎣🤿🧸🎮🕹Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, "you filthy animals." out there.
Outstanding job Marina! I don't think anyone could have done better. You even had the production designer's feedback. Flawless and perfect. Your videos are more art than a TH-cam video.
🎄Terrific & so festive! I love all the wallpapers & "gaudy" stuff because families DO accumulate things & have personal touches around their homes. An austere look would have been cold & uninviting. I can't stand the very long trend of modern houses that are nothing but black, white, tan & stainless. They did a great job putting charm into this place. Of course you'd need "help" to maintain such a big packed house full of kids & 2 working parents too, but they could afford it! Funny that the designer said there aren't furnaces like that. The grill front reminds me of angry big appliances from The Brave Little Toaster. And the pipes reaching all over reminds me of a relative who rebuilt an 1800s house that had those very scary huge pipes & furnace in their old basement! It was the stuff of nightmares! Also, they definitely took the mobster movie character from 1940s sterotypes. I know I've seen & heard very similar scenes & dialog from that era. Fun tour, Marina! 🎄
I've only watched 2 of the featured houses, The Home Alone house and It's a Wonderful Life house and I am already a huge fan of your work. Thank you for the careful recreations and the facts about the sets plus insights of those who acted in the movies or contributed to the production of them. I'm having so much enjoyment from watching these. I'll be watching more of your wonderful work soon.
It's such fun to see what you do here, but their house was decorated so beautifully, it would be such fun to see you decorate it the same way to capture the magic.
I have always been curious about how tv and movie houses are laid out, and I confess it annoys me when I can’t reconcile the arrangement of various rooms and/or levels to make them fit together. I always want to see house plans so I understand how the rooms relate, so these tours help satisfy that need.
The exterior of the house has always made me think of a couple of the Sears homes (the Jefferson and the Magnolia) which are certainly not exactly alike but a bit similar, and I looked at the plans of those homes when I thought about the Home Alone house and wondered if the interiors were anything alike. Lovely video, as always, and I especially liked the nice touch of seeing the snow falling outside the windows.
Omg! Love love love this episode!! You and I around the same age what’s amazing is that hunter green was all the rage back in 1990 so it really didn’t mean that the Christmas colors were really all that ‘out there’. Just beautiful.

Wonderful Marina, always love your attention to details and including your guest interview and the actor with that spider ❣️🤩😎💝 So much to appreciate and many thanks ❤❤❤. Now I want to watch the movie again! Also, there’s a movie I also love to watch is Dante’s Peak with that hunk Pierce Brosnan! Maybe you would enjoy creating the town! 😉
I was thinking with such a beautiful spacious attic why they didn't finish it to be a playroom/hangout for the kids. With so many kids having another place to spread out would of been great. Beautiful tour thank you for doing them.

Marina, this was so amazing! You're a genius. So detailed and including both the attic and the basment. Thank you so much. I had been waiting for this second part =) Happy Thanksgiving!!
I used to have home alone on VHS when I was young. Those were the days. I was crazy about home alone. Me an my family used to watch it everyday. I used to even drive my parents crazy asking if I could watch it all the time because that’s how much I loved the movie. 🤣😊
And the Wet Bandits lol 😆💖 especially the spider Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) puts on Marv's face lol 😆💖 he sure would be a great Stand Up Comedian. I think what I enjoy most about this film Home Alone is the Family atmosphere, the comedy, and the music because I am a singer myself. John Williams when he conducts the music to this movie I just have to listen to it constantly at Christmas. This is a favorite of mine and I am glad you showed this movie home. Have a great Thanksgiving 🙂
I'm glad you liked it. I have made other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I bet after the people who owned the real house saw the film and felt the magic, and after it became so incredibly popular, they realized its value and sort of became proud of it. It may not have been their style, but I’m sure after the years of it growing into a nostalgic icon (not to mention how much it obviously influenced decorating fashion in the 90s afterwards) the idea of people believing they lived that way must have grown on them. I know it would’ve grown on me.
Love what you do here with this site and appreciate all the time, research and attention to detail that goes into it ... would love to see the Everybody Loves Raymond house someday ... his parent's house across the street, too! 🙂
This is so fantastic! I'm sure this took so much work, and I really appreciate that!! What a lovely way to look at the home, which is most certainly part of the reason we fell in love with the movie!! Thank you. Will be looking for more videos you may have. I'm going to re-watch because I still am curious about where the stairs to the attic connect to 2nd story? Are they like the kitchen stairs that go nowhere? ha ha... Thanks for all the behind the scenes!
Good question- the attic stairs would take us past what we are shown as the end of the home on the exterior. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber

YASSSSSSSSSS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I watched the first video a couple weeks ago, and was wondering where this was. (I'm still obsessed with home alone) Also possibly a good idea, do a home alone 2 episode? Maybe?
I really like that this video tells where that mystery staircase goes to. Just as I suspected, it's a dead end staircase like what I have found in the first house I ever lived in. That house is in a village called "Cardinal Hill," and that's in Kentucky.
You do outstanding work analyzing films and mapping their interiors. The narration is simple but elegant, and more importantly very informative. Also your Google SketchUP CAD models are incredible. Lastly thanks so much for detailting the interior of the Home Alone house, it's been on my wishlist to visit the actual location in outskirts Chicago, but thanks to you I can now do it virtually. Sidenote: I check out briefly of your other videos. I wonder if you've got a bucket list of projects to do. Maybe do a video on the Discovery One spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey (a home in space for astronauts and HAL 9000). That old 1968 classic is my favorite SciFi movie.
Such a funny realization in the practical details. The parents only had a physical “wardrobe” for a closet? In fact, there are no other closets in any bedroom. Don’t need ‘em in the movies!
Be interesting see the Murphy house too how he goes through their flooded basement into their house . Also the removed garage. And does the layout match home alone 2
A great tour of an amazing, iconic movie house! One of my all time favorite movie homes is the one from the 1989 film; The War of the Roses. The moment it showed Kathleen Turner (Barbara Rose) entering the foyer and showing the room with that breathtaking crystal chandelier at the top of the stairs, I instantly fell in love...also loved that huge stainless stove she had in the kitchen. 😆Maybe one day we can explore that house too?
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I agree! I love the War of the Roses house and that incredible kitchen and stove! I hope you will do it! Marina, I think these videos are incredible! I would love you to do the Uncle Buck, E.T. and Poltergeist houses too! Maybe some day! Keep up the great work!
The fact that Kevin/Jeff’s room which we briefly see at the beginning of the film was where Kevin laid out his Battle Plan stood over my head for 30 years. 🤯
It would be cool to see one of these for the Home Improvement house. Their backyard never made sense to me, because the kids can run out of it... so it must not be enclosed. There's a really good view of a lot of the set in the final episode of Season 2, the one where Tim races Bob Vila on a jet powered lawn mower.
The kitchen stairs, actually would come out where the "sister's" room is upstairs...if you look at the main floor staircase, the landing, and the last few stairs up to the second floor, those last few stairs but up against the "support" wall to the sister's room, which is the same wall on the lower level where you enter the breakfast room, and the stairs in the breakfast room are up against that wall...I always thought the "sister's" room was an upstairs "back hall" area where the stairs came up, and that they just used it as the "sister's room" which is why we were never shown the inside of it, because it would be hard to explain why the stairs would be in her room...but now i know, it wasn't a real house that the movie was filmed in...just incredibly detailed sets that looked exactly like the real home from the outside....The mystery of the kitchen stairs finally solved!!! lol
I should have watched this part 2 before I commented on part 1. You got the word from the guy on the set regarding whether Kate was a clothing designer. At least it was an interest of hers. I would like to think she made a fine career of it. The attic is really cool, and I hope not cold. I have to wonder about the exposed trusses in the set. I grew up in Ohio in a house that didn't have insulation when we first moved into it and it could be quite cold in places. I remember my mom hiring her students to help add the insulation in the attic while we had a service blow insulation into the exterior walls. So the attic made me wonder if the idea was that the trusses were much wider and finished panels were covering the insulation, or if there was a system of double trusses with the insulation between. Speaking of winter heating and insulation, we also had large oil furnaces in a couple of places in the house, right in the living space, and I was afraid of them as a little boy. So Kevin's fear of the furnace resonates with me.
I love how the sewing machine is right in front of the bed. Mine is in our bedroom sitting area and I always feel guilty to adding clutter to my bedroom space. Makes me feel okay about it now.
Thanks for showing us the real inside of the home compared to the set designed inside ... and I have to say that the real inside of that house was very bland but I loved loved loved the fake inside. Those are my colors in my home without the wallpaper (which I personally love but do not live alone or I would have it on my walls, lol). Mind you, I just may put some up as I hear it's coming back in style. ;) Thanks again. Love from Canada.
Really great job on the drawing and the rendering! And the interview with the designer is very interesting too. But you didn't say a word about the other missing room. Because there has to be e further room behind the attic stairs, respactively exact above the Den/TV room. I'm wondering since years where the door is to that room. And the window in Buzz' room, where they observe the neighbor, doesn't exist on the real house!
11:42 they're crazy. Everyone i know fell in love with the interior of that house. People often say they wished they lived there. If i had that kinda money and bought the real house, i would turn it into the real home alone house. Yup! I'm that damn cheesy! 😂😂😂 Side note: if i were one of the older siblings, i def wouldve took the attic. Just like i did a long time ago in my own home. Also, i never knew buzz's girlfriend was actually a boy. I kinda felt bad for the girl lol. But that was thoughtful of them. I always felt bad while laughing at al bundy making fun of the women on that show.
This was wonderful! My husband and I have been watching an episode of Father Knows Best each night before we go to sleep. Have you considered doing that house?
Yes. I probably will someday. I've had a lot of requests for it. Hopefully you saw part 1 of Home Alone where we tour the main floor. If not - You can see that and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Not on the inside. In fact they had to tear down the whole set in the gym after the first movie and then rebuild the entire thing again for number 2 - in that same High School gym.
With a little clever turning the back stairs in the breakfast room could come out in Linnie’s room. Then then girls could share the other room, which seems huge, and you you have those stair still be useable. Alternatively given its size it could make a good little nursery. (Much like in Lucy’s apartment lil Ricky’s nursery is good size for nursery and toddler but a school aged Ricky, especially middle school, would be cramped.) If the girls stopped getting along and you had to put Linnie in a new room the nursery would be all that is left. Only bad this about a big family someone gets stuck with the small room. Going to send you a email, to the gmail addy on your website, about the Munster’s home here in a few minutes. Would love your input.
Marina!....what about the other upstairs "sunroom" off of what would be Buzz's, and one of the other sister's bedrooms!?...I really wanted to know what that room was...I guess I'll just picture it as a common sitting/TV room for those two bedrooms....a little disappointed we didn't get a glimpse into those rooms more

I used to have home alone on VHS when I was young. Those were the days. I was crazy about home alone. Me an my family used to watch it everyday. I used to even drive my parents crazy asking if I could watch it all the time because that’s how much I loved the movie. 🤣😊
And the Wet Bandits lol 😆💖 especially the spider Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) puts on Marv's face lol 😆💖 he sure would be a great Stand Up Comedian. I think what I enjoy most about this film Home Alone is the Family atmosphere, the comedy, and the music because I am a singer myself. John Williams when he conducts the music to this movie I just have to listen to it constantly at Christmas. This is a favorite of mine and I am glad you showed this movie home. Have a great Thanksgiving 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome! Thank you so much for this video!

❤❤❤ Such a wonderful follow up episode!!! I love all the added behind the scenes stuff 😊 So Amazing! I look forward to what you have planned next!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm working on "It's a Wonderful Life" right now.
Thank you for this! I loved watching it
😊
Hopefully you caught part 1 on here too - the main floor
I bet after the people who owned the real house saw the film and felt the magic, and after it became so incredibly popular, they realized its value and sort of became proud of it. It may not have been their style, but I’m sure after the years of it growing into a nostalgic icon (not to mention how much it obviously influenced decorating fashion in the 90s afterwards) the idea of people believing they lived that way must have grown on them. I know it would’ve grown on me.
That's my guess too.
Love what you do here with this site and appreciate all the time, research and attention to detail that goes into it ... would love to see the Everybody Loves Raymond house someday ... his parent's house across the street, too! 🙂
I will definitely be doing at least Ray's home.
Congrats from Italy 🇮🇹 ❤️
Five Stars ⭐️
Thank you!
This is so fantastic! I'm sure this took so much work, and I really appreciate that!! What a lovely way to look at the home, which is most certainly part of the reason we fell in love with the movie!! Thank you. Will be looking for more videos you may have. I'm going to re-watch because I still am curious about where the stairs to the attic connect to 2nd story? Are they like the kitchen stairs that go nowhere? ha ha... Thanks for all the behind the scenes!
Good question- the attic stairs would take us past what we are shown as the end of the home on the exterior.

Beautiful job! Interesting that the actual house had very muted tones while the set was very vibrant.
Glad you liked it.
YASSSSSSSSSS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I watched the first video a couple weeks ago, and was wondering where this was. (I'm still obsessed with home alone)
Also possibly a good idea, do a home alone 2 episode? Maybe?
Maybe.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Kevin has an actual bedroom. Many think we never see it.
Yes. Before I made this, I had several people mention that we never see Kevin's room.
I have made other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Thanks so much for sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I really like that this video tells where that mystery staircase goes to. Just as I suspected, it's a dead end staircase like what I have found in the first house I ever lived in. That house is in a village called "Cardinal Hill," and that's in Kentucky.
I wonder what the story is behind yours.

In the basement, I wish you would show us all around and up the stairs to the breakfast room.
I had originally planned to, but simply ran out of time. I'm working on "It's a Wonderful Life," which includes an interview with Zuzu.
I've always loved the home alone house...great job....have you considered doing the overlook hotel or maybe the huts of Gilligan's island
Yes, both of those. Someday.

You do outstanding work analyzing films and mapping their interiors. The narration is simple but elegant, and more importantly very informative. Also your Google SketchUP CAD models are incredible. Lastly thanks so much for detailting the interior of the Home Alone house, it's been on my wishlist to visit the actual location in outskirts Chicago, but thanks to you I can now do it virtually.
Sidenote: I check out briefly of your other videos. I wonder if you've got a bucket list of projects to do. Maybe do a video on the Discovery One spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey (a home in space for astronauts and HAL 9000). That old 1968 classic is my favorite SciFi movie.
Visiting the real home is on my bucket list too. And thanks for the sci-fi suggestion.
I’d love to see the interior homes of Frasier, Roseanne and Golden Girls. Love your channel.
Thank you. Great choices.
Such a funny realization in the practical details. The parents only had a physical “wardrobe” for a closet? In fact, there are no other closets in any bedroom. Don’t need ‘em in the movies!
😄
Be interesting see the Murphy house too how he goes through their flooded basement into their house . Also the removed garage. And does the layout match home alone 2
A great tour of an amazing, iconic movie house! One of my all time favorite movie homes is the one from the 1989 film; The War of the Roses. The moment it showed Kathleen Turner (Barbara Rose) entering the foyer and showing the room with that breathtaking crystal chandelier at the top of the stairs, I instantly fell in love...also loved that huge stainless stove she had in the kitchen. 😆Maybe one day we can explore that house too?
I'd like to. What a good idea.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I agree! I love the War of the Roses house and that incredible kitchen and stove! I hope you will do it! Marina, I think these videos are incredible! I would love you to do the Uncle Buck, E.T. and Poltergeist houses too! Maybe some day! Keep up the great work!
@@ROGambill Thanks!
The fact that Kevin/Jeff’s room which we briefly see at the beginning of the film was where Kevin laid out his Battle Plan stood over my head for 30 years. 🤯
Me too! I only caught it when I was researching to build the room.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I kept thinking it was somewhere in the living room 😂
It would be cool to see one of these for the Home Improvement house. Their backyard never made sense to me, because the kids can run out of it... so it must not be enclosed. There's a really good view of a lot of the set in the final episode of Season 2, the one where Tim races Bob Vila on a jet powered lawn mower.
That's a great idea.
They should of never made sequels to this, part 2 wasn't bad, but the first one will always be the best
I always liked buzz’s room the best
The kitchen stairs, actually would come out where the "sister's" room is upstairs...if you look at the main floor staircase, the landing, and the last few stairs up to the second floor, those last few stairs but up against the "support" wall to the sister's room, which is the same wall on the lower level where you enter the breakfast room, and the stairs in the breakfast room are up against that wall...I always thought the "sister's" room was an upstairs "back hall" area where the stairs came up, and that they just used it as the "sister's room" which is why we were never shown the inside of it, because it would be hard to explain why the stairs would be in her room...but now i know, it wasn't a real house that the movie was filmed in...just incredibly detailed sets that looked exactly like the real home from the outside....The mystery of the kitchen stairs finally solved!!! lol
I should have watched this part 2 before I commented on part 1. You got the word from the guy on the set regarding whether Kate was a clothing designer. At least it was an interest of hers. I would like to think she made a fine career of it.
The attic is really cool, and I hope not cold. I have to wonder about the exposed trusses in the set. I grew up in Ohio in a house that didn't have insulation when we first moved into it and it could be quite cold in places. I remember my mom hiring her students to help add the insulation in the attic while we had a service blow insulation into the exterior walls. So the attic made me wonder if the idea was that the trusses were much wider and finished panels were covering the insulation, or if there was a system of double trusses with the insulation between.
Speaking of winter heating and insulation, we also had large oil furnaces in a couple of places in the house, right in the living space, and I was afraid of them as a little boy. So Kevin's fear of the furnace resonates with me.
I hallway’s upstairs is my favorite outside with snow like Christmas
Thanks!
Great info
Thanks for watching!
I love how the sewing machine is right in front of the bed. Mine is in our bedroom sitting area and I always feel guilty to adding clutter to my bedroom space. Makes me feel okay about it now.
😊
Great video where is the link to the pictures of the set
I just finished posting them on my website. The link is there now.

Thank you! Will you be doing the White Christmas lodge?
I've already done that one. I'll be updating it someday, because it was when I was first learning the software. But you can find it on the channel.

Thanks for showing us the real inside of the home compared to the set designed inside ... and I have to say that the real inside of that house was very bland but I loved loved loved the fake inside. Those are my colors in my home without the wallpaper (which I personally love but do not live alone or I would have it on my walls, lol). Mind you, I just may put some up as I hear it's coming back in style. ;) Thanks again. Love from Canada.
Sounds like you have a wonderful home!
Really great job on the drawing and the rendering! And the interview with the designer is very interesting too. But you didn't say a word about the other missing room. Because there has to be e further room behind the attic stairs, respactively exact above the Den/TV room. I'm wondering since years where the door is to that room. And the window in Buzz' room, where they observe the neighbor, doesn't exist on the real house!
11:42 they're crazy. Everyone i know fell in love with the interior of that house. People often say they wished they lived there. If i had that kinda money and bought the real house, i would turn it into the real home alone house. Yup! I'm that damn cheesy! 😂😂😂
Side note: if i were one of the older siblings, i def wouldve took the attic. Just like i did a long time ago in my own home. Also, i never knew buzz's girlfriend was actually a boy. I kinda felt bad for the girl lol. But that was thoughtful of them. I always felt bad while laughing at al bundy making fun of the women on that show.
Amazing ❤️ Can you please put the house dimensions in meters and with 3d explanation
Cool
thx!
😊
This was wonderful! My husband and I have been watching an episode of Father Knows Best each night before we go to sleep. Have you considered doing that house?
Yes. I probably will someday. I've had a lot of requests for it. Hopefully you saw part 1 of Home Alone where we tour the main floor. If not - You can see that and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Marina, I grew up about three blocks from this house.
Lucky!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane It's in a town called Winnetka in Illinois north of Chicago. it's still a big tourist attraction to this day.
Great video 👍. Did they're filmed at that house during home alone 2 ???
Not on the inside. In fact they had to tear down the whole set in the gym after the first movie and then rebuild the entire thing again for number 2 - in that same High School gym.
With a little clever turning the back stairs in the breakfast room could come out in Linnie’s room. Then then girls could share the other room, which seems huge, and you you have those stair still be useable. Alternatively given its size it could make a good little nursery. (Much like in Lucy’s apartment lil Ricky’s nursery is good size for nursery and toddler but a school aged Ricky, especially middle school, would be cramped.) If the girls stopped getting along and you had to put Linnie in a new room the nursery would be all that is left. Only bad this about a big family someone gets stuck with the small room.
Going to send you a email, to the gmail addy on your website, about the Munster’s home here in a few minutes. Would love your input.
Maria, I love the content and hope you will make more My future kids will see this
You should upload a tour of Cheers bar set
I most likely will someday
Marina!....what about the other upstairs "sunroom" off of what would be Buzz's, and one of the other sister's bedrooms!?...I really wanted to know what that room was...I guess I'll just picture it as a common sitting/TV room for those two bedrooms....a little disappointed we didn't get a glimpse into those rooms more
I only showed us what we were shown in the movie. But your guess for that area sounds like a good idea.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane ...I think so, lol 🥰
