'Ferris Bueller's' Highland Park House for Sale
It can be yours for a mere $2.3M...Ferrari not included
By Robert Falconer | Tuesday, May 26, 2009
How fondly so many of us remember Ferris Bueller's Day Off—John Hughes' quirky, 1986 Gen X comedy that propelled Matthew Broderick's career, and instructed high school students everywhere that it was OK to take a day off school and pursue "choice" activities (like abusing the crap out of your best friend's father's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California).
Classic.
Now, the Highland Park (Illinois) home that housed that very same Ferrari (though it was actually not a real Ferrari) is up for sale. In the movie, an angry Cameron Frye (played by actor Alan Ruck) catapults his father's prized Ferrari 250 GT California through the dwelling's glass walls and into the wooded gully below.
The architecturally stunning, art-filled, 5,300-square-foot house went on the market last week for $2.3 million, reports the Chicago Tribune. Its most famous feature is its steel and glass "pavilion" that hangs over the ravine.
"There's been a lot of interest in it already," said Sotheby's Realtor Meladee Hughes. "It's spectacular inside. It's like living in a tree house."
The pavilion contains a wall of memorabilia dedicated to the movie, including pictures of actors Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck taken during the filming, Hughes said. The owners were avid car collectors and the space is still used for special car events, such as a Ferrari Club meeting held there last weekend.
