Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 4:00PM For Sale: The House from 'Ferris Bueller'
My friend Eric sent this real estate over to me with the caution, "It's being sold 'as-is.'"
Some of you will recognize it from the photo below, but here's a hint: It's not Keanu's and Sandra's Lake
House.

Yep, the Ferris Bueller house - or more specifically the Cameron Frye house from Ferris
Bueller's Day Off - is on the market, at what
I think is a fairly reasonable $2.3 million. Reasonable? At over two million? Well, yes, actually. For
starters, it's 5,300 square feet in Highland Park, Illinois, so we're not exactly talking about some
studio apartment on the south side.
But it's also a rather impressive piece of architecture:



Quick - grab the mortgage calculator...

"The Ben Rose Home-site of the famous movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, cantilevered over the ravine, these two steel and glass buildings, which can never be duplicated, have incredible vistas of the surrounding woods. This is a unique property designed by A. James Speyer and David Haid, both notable architects of the 20th Century. Estate Sale Sold 'As Is' No disclosures! This is an amazing architectural treasure."There are over a dozen shots of this impeccable home on its Sotheby's listing, but here are a few to get you started:

Hope you dont like privacy, and you do like ttos of sunshine.
I imagine a place built like that here in phoenix would be unlivable, or just have huge electric bills.
