House from ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ Up for Sale

The Ben Rose home from Highland Park, Illinois, site of the famous movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", is now put up for sale with an estimated value of $2,300,000, realtor.com reported.

As any automobile enthusiast might remember, the movie featured a restored 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California that was finally crashed by the main character. Ferris, his girlfriend Sloane and best friend Cameron decide to take his father’s Ferrari and spend a day in Chicago as one of their last flings before they head off to different colleges.

Ferris and his friends arrive downtown and leave the Ferrari with two garage attendants, who drive off in it a short while later to take a joyride. At the end of the day, when they retrieved the car, the teenagers discover that hundreds of miles have been added to the odometer.

Ferris comes up with a plan to run the car in reverse while running in place at Cameron's father's hillside garage, hoping to reverse the odometer. When they realize this is not working, Cameron damages the front of the Ferrari, but comes to realize that he is long due to stand up to his father and vows to admit what happens.

Too late, because his previous actions have unbalanced the car from the blocks it was on, hits the ground, races in reverse, and crashes over the edge of the garage.

Cameron’s residence is exactly the property that went on sale. The property was designed by A. James Speyer and David Haid, both notable architects of the 20th Century. The house was built in 1953 and has approximately 5300 square feet. Parking features include Off Street, On-Site, Visitor Parking, 3 Car Garage, Detached, Garage Door Opener/s (Auto), Heated, On-Site, Transmitter/s.
