“Ferris Bueller” Glass Home For Sale — $2.3M


If you’re a fan of the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and you have $2.3 million stashed away, you can now own a piece of cinematic real estate history. The glass-walled tree house made famous in John Hughes’ cult classic is for sale. For those who somehow missed the 80’s and haven’t seen the movie, Matthew Broderick plays Ferris Bueller, a mischievous teenager who coerces his friend, Cameron Fry, and girlfriend into skipping school for the day to party across Chicago. All is well until Fry accidentally sends his father’s vintage red Ferrari through the glass pavilion of his house and into a ravine while trying to wind back kilometers on the vehicle.

The home, located at 370 Beech St, Highland Park, IL 60035, boasts incredible views of the surrounding woods, four bedrooms, the famous pavilion, and is located in the exclusive Highland Park area of Illinois. The 5,300 square feet property is comprised of two buildings made of steel and glass construction, cantilevered over a ravine. They were designed by noted 20th Century architects A. James Speyer and David Haid.
