Hot listing! Cameron’s house from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off can be yours for just $2.3 million. Acute anxiety, alienation, depression, insecurity, and the lack of a will to live are probably sold separately, but I love how the realtor’s listing includes this still from the movie, as if Mr. Frye’s forbidden red Ferrari comes with the place.
Oddly enough, The Onion’s Radio News Network provided a recent update on the FBDO clan: Grown-Up Ferris Bueller Charms His Way Out Of Paying Child Support. According to this absolutely accurate report, Bueller’s "late friend Cameron was murdered by his father in 1986." So the house is a crime scene, too! Make that down payment today.
Having grown up in the Chicago ‘burbs, I always wanted to live at the Fryes’house, partly because I could ride bikes to see my friends if I lived there, but mostly because they had a pool. It might even be in my top 3, along with Phyllis Neffler’s mansion in Troop Beverly Hills (huge pool + balance beam upstairs + Craig T. Nelson to open pickle jars) and, obviously, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. Don’t click here if you don’t want to cry. Which film or TV dwelling did you always want to call home?
Where exactly is the pool? The house is on stilts.
And I would like to live in Tom Hanks’apartment from Big. Fully furnished including trampoline and pop machine, of course.
I want the house Susan Sarandon lives in in “Stepmom.” Or the house from “The Lake House” (Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves) which, if it hadn’t been dismantled by the film crew after the movie wrapped, would be just down the road, 15 minutes from where I live.
I’ve always loved Mary Richards’apartment from the Mary Tyler Moore Show–’70s decor included. I’d also love to own the full real-life house that was used for exterior shots. It was recently redesigned and is gorgeous. Sadly, it was going for more than even the Frye place last time it was up for sale.
Anything with secret passages or tunnels, like the Addams Family or the Munsters.
The house from Silver Spoons, simply for the train.
I want the Talbots’house from Wishbone, particularly the library stuffed full of books. I also like the house Sandra Bullock had in Premonition. Under the Tuscan Sun made me want to move to Tuscany and live in an Italian villa…unfortunately, my husband was/is not accommodating.
The house from “Growing Pains”. Or Charlotte’s inherited Park Avenue apartment (after she redecorated it of course).
I wanted to live in the Silver Spoons mansion too! But I’ll see your indoor train and raise you the grandfather clock with the secret passage way from Webster.
I even wanted the Gilmore’s mansion in Gilmore Girls. Heck, I loved the crap shack. I would move to Stars Hollow tomorrow.
The Capulet mansion in William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. It’s pool goes under the house and balconies! Plus it has an awesome foyer perfect for wicked costume parties. Bonus points for the elevator.
oh hands down…i would love to live in the munsters house! with spot as a pet and all:) also, the psycho house would be creepy and comfy too
The Carrington mansion (aka Spelling manor!)
nothing beats the loft in the movie Ghost. nothing.
As hard as the updated Steve-Martin-fueled “Cheaper By The Dozen” sucked, I loved their house. That dorky kid with the turret room? I sometimes dream that I live in that room. In real life, however, zoning laws do not agree with putting turrets on modern-style houses. They are missing out!
The “Facts of Life” girls had it easy with their store and their home readily adjacent. The Brady’s floorplan was delightful. But could anything really top those bamboo huts on “Gilligan’s Island?”
