Horrible redesign, say fans
But fans were not as delighted as expected.
One commented, "This house is beautiful and I love home alone movies but I missed the old look of the house. The old historic and the old characters of the house is gone."
Another wrote, "If I were rich, I would buy it and redo it to be an exact replica of the movie and turn it in to a museum of the film."

One more critic stated, "No, it doesn¡¯t look familiar because it's been sterilised beyond recognition."
Well, I suppose for fans yearning for nostalgia, the original charm of the Home Alone house remains a cherished memory, something the modern transformation cannot replicate.
