'Sixteen Candles' House Sells for $1.135 Million


From the July 15, 2018, Chicago Tribune by Bob Goldsborough.

The six-bedroom brick house in northwest Evanston, Illinois, where the 1984 classic teen comedy "Sixteen Candles" was filmed finally sold June 28 for $1.135 million, after two years on and off the market.

The three-story, 3,250-square-foot house is in a neighborhood that has been popular with filmmakers. In "Sixteen Candles" it was the cinematic home of the movie's main character, played by Molly Ringwald, and her family.

Built in 1931, the house has two fireplaces, a media room on the third floor, a new kitchen with a breakfast room and an attached two-car garage.   Outside are a terrace, an outdoor kitchen and a wood-burning fireplace.

Public records do not yet identify the buyers.
