Macaulay Culkin Sells New York Apartment He Bought as a Teenager for $7.75 Million—Netting a $6 Million Profit

“Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin has reportedly bid farewell to one of his very first property investments, selling off a New York City apartment he bought at the tender age of 19—and netting a $6 million profit in the process.

The 44-year-old actor is understood to have offloaded the three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo for $7.75 million in an off-market deal that was first reported by the New York Post.

Culkin, who shot to fame at the tender age of 10 while starring as the mischievous Kevin McCallister in the wildly-popular “Home Alone” franchise, purchased the home back in 1999 for $1.73 million, according to property records.

At the time, the actor had just wed his first wife, Rachel Miner; however, the pair split just three years later.

Still, Culkin held on to the property for more than 20 years after the end of that marriage, during which time he has since welcomed two children with his longtime partner, Brenda Song, whom he began dating after they starred together in the 2019 movie, “Changeland.”

Today, Culkin and Song are understood to be based at a sprawling Toluca Lake, CA, estate, which the former child star purchased from fellow actor, Kiefer Sutherland, for $8 million in an off-market deal in 2022.

That property, which boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms, is believed to serve as the couple’s primary residence.

However, Culkin recently revealed that he had been considering adding another home to his portfolio: the iconic property that served as the McCallister residence in “Home Alone.”

The so-called “Home Alone House” hit the market in May 2024 for $5.25 million, with Culkin revealing months later that he had thought about snapping it up “just for giggles.”

“I had half a mind to buy it—just for giggles,” Culkin told the audience at the Rosemont Theater in Illinois during a December appearance, according to the New York Times.

The actor added that he imagined turning the fictional home into a “movie fun house” where people could sled down the stairs just like Kevin does in the movie.

Sadly, that scenario didn’t come to pass.

“I got kids. I’m busy, man,” he explained of his reasons for deciding against the property purchase.

Instead, the home was snapped up by an unnamed buyer, who closed on the home for $5.5 million on Jan. 15, 2025, according to records.

It is also not known who purchased Culkin’s New York City pad, with the Post reporting that records pertaining to the deal were only filed with the city register on Jan. 21.

Property records indicate that the 5,937-square-foot condo was placed on the market on Jan. 10 for $7.75 million; however, that listing was removed just one day later.

According to a listing for a separate condo in the building—which is on the market for an eye-watering $32.5 million—the building where Culkin once made his home was originally built in 1856 as a hat factory called The Dandy, a name the property retains to this day.

Located in the popular Noho neighborhood of New York, the building is surrounded by a bustling community of shops and restaurants—although Culkin noted in a 2016 interview with Vulture that the surrounding area had changed drastically during the time he’d owned the apartment.

“The neighborhood was a lot different. There was a Wiz downstairs. Now everything’s owned by NYU,” he commented.

At the time, Culkin revealed that he was splitting his time between his New York loft and France, explaining that he was initially drawn to the European locale because he believed that nobody there would know who he was.

“It turned out that no, they recognized me, they just didn’t care. I was like, ‘Where have you people been my entire life?’” he joked.
