The house famously used when Kevin McCallister was left 'Home Alone' is on sale.

The five-bed, six-bathroom mansion in the US state of Illinois has been put on the market for $5.25m (€4.83m).

It is the first time since 2012 that the property has been put on the market, according to estate agents Zillow.

Since the release of the 1990 classic film directed by Chris Columbus, the house has undergone an extensive renovation.

Posting a walkthrough of the interiors, the estate agents said the current owners have doubled the living space with the addition of a large conservatory and built a state-of-the-art basketball court.

The house, described by the company as "one of the most famous houses in the world", also features two living rooms, a large kitchen, a three-car garage and the "unforgettable staircase" which a 10-year-old Macaulay Culkin rode down on a sledge.

Previously, 'Home Alone' fans were given the chance to stay at the house in 2021, when Airbnb listed the property for an exclusive one-night-only stay.

Similar properties that have been featured in films or on television have also reached eye-watering prices when put up for sale.

In February this year, the London home of music legend Freddie Mercury went up for sale for offers in excess of €35m.
