UnReal Estate: Home from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” listed for $2.3 million

Ferris Bueller was that teen every kid wanted to be. Cool without trying and got away with everything.

I never dared to try anything Ferris did, but watching “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” was like my own way of vicariously playing hooky from school, driving a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California and singing on a parade float.

Well Ferris fans, you too can own a piece of pop culture history. Remember Ferris’ best friend Cameron? His Chicago-area home in the movie is listed for $2.3 million by Sudler Sotheby’s International Realty.

You also get the adjacent auto pavilion, which housed that infamous Ferrari that took a sad plunge into the ravine.

Located at 370 Beech St. in Highland Park, an affluent suburb on Chicago‘s North Shore, the 5,300-square-foot, contemporary-style house was designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid.

It features four bedrooms, four full baths, a fireplace, a three-car garage and incredible views of the surrounding woods. Vintage Ferrari sold separately.

As for the Bueller home, that house is actually in Long Beach, Calif., and not for sale as of yet.

The plan is great. The architecture is avant-garde. But I just doubt if its habitable enough for a sane man. But, hey, it’s really great to look at.

Is this house for sale? Isn’t it too expensive for $2.3 million?
