The 57-year-old midcentury modern home at 370 Beech Street in Highland Park, Illinois. is instantly recognizable to many 1980s survivors and fans of John Hughes movies as Cameron's house from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." By now, it's also known from popping up in the media, as it's been on the market for over a year. But this 4-bedroom, 4-bath home has been notable since long before the '80s. Designed in 1953 by A. James Speyer and David Haid, the house is now heralded as "architecturally significant." With this significance, and the added cultural cachet of being featured in the movie, comes a price tag: the house is currently listed at a reduced price of $1,650,000. So how's that market for designer midcentury homes looking lately? -CNBC.com
How the fuck is no one buying this house? I understand there is an economic crisis going on, but come on. It's the god damned Ferris Bueller house. Or Cameron Frye house to be exact. The one that he kicks the Ferrari out of with all his suppressed anger. I know there's still rich people out there, and it is ruining my confidence in capitalism that not one rich fuck has bought this house. If I was rich not only would I have already bought this house straight cash homey, I would have bought A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte so fast your head would spin. Then I would probably buy an authentic throwback Gordie Howe jersey and just stare at that little pointillist chick while listening to the dream academy remix of "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" until I have some sort of grand epiphany. Maybe make out with Mia Sara on a bench.
