the Chicago-area home featured in the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" has found a buyer. COLDWELL BANKER
The Chicago-area home where Ferris Bueller's friend Cameron famously "killed" his father's prized Ferrari finally has a new owner.
Crain's Chicago Business reports that the modernist home in Highland Park sold Thursday for $1.06 million, five years after it first came on the market.
Craig Hogan is regional director at Coldwell Banker Previews. He wouldn't say who bought the four-bedroom, steel-and-glass house built on the edge of a wooded ravine.
The house, built in 1953 by Mies van der Rohe-protege A. James Speyer, was first put on the market in 2009 listed at $2.3 million.
The sleek house was featured in John Hughes' 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" as the home of Cameron Frye (played Alan Ruck). After the Ferrari crashes through the glass into the ravine, Ferris (Matthew Broderick) tells Cameron: "You killed the car."

In town we live in a psuedo ranch house like 99% of suburbanites; out at the ranch we live with the Stanislaus National Forest as our ‘backdrop.’
.
We have walls in both locations.

Here’s what I never understood about the movie.
It takes place in Chicago, but Cameron is wearing a Red Wings Sweater. That does not make sense.

I'd rather buy and live in Ferris' house.
The only problem is that it is located in California (Long Beach).

John Hughes was a Red Wings fan because he grew up in Michigan.

I would think a 4BR home in Highland Park would go for more.
