But leaving 8-year-old Kevin home when they left for vacation was a lucky twist of fate, as he was able to protect the jaw-dropping property from bungling burglars. Last sold in 2012 for nearly $1.6 million, the red-brick Georgian colonial has been updated from its ’90s Christmas-themed decor. The cheeky listing also noted it has “an attic perfect for sending a small child after having acted like a jerk,” “a grand kitchen perfect for hosting large family pizza parties,” and “master bedroom [with] a beautiful king-sized bed, suited for jumping.” Additional considerations when purchasing this house: You’ll have a “jumbo” loan, a large heating bill due to cold Chicago-area winters, over $38,000 a year in taxes—and you’ll probably want to pay for a home security system.
