Is “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” one of your favorite films? Got $2.3 million to spend? If your answer to both is yes, then you may be in luck. The steel-and-glass home featured in the 1986 pop classic starring Matthew Broderick as the title character is on the market.
Located in the Highland Park suburb of Chicago, the 5,300-square-foot home features four bedrooms and four baths on a three-quarter-acre lot. There’s also a wall dedicated to the movie in the house’s glass pavilion overlooking a ravine, according to WEWS, an ABC news affiliate in Cleveland.
The two glass buildings that comprise the home were designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid, according to Sudler Sotheby’s International Reality listing. Both buildings feature vistas of the surrounding woods.
While the house is architecturally unique, has priceless views, and has been deemed a historic site, it is most famous for having been picked by filmmaker John Hughes to play a pivotal role in “Ferris Bueller,” a film that has become an ’80s pop-cultural touchstone.
In the movie, Bueller’s friend Cameron Frye, played by Alan Ruck, lives in the home. In one of the famous scenes, Frye sends his dad’s red Ferrari — the one he says his father “loves more than life itself” — through one of the glass walls of the home and into the ravine below.
Ironically, the home’s charms were lost on the film’s title character, who tells Frye that it’s “like a museum. It’s very beautiful and very cold. You’re not allowed to touch anything.”
Now 52, Frye’s portrayer will not be taking up residence in the famed house. Ruck told TMZ.com he couldn’t afford the home’s $2.3 million price tag.
