benrose-house_01Everyone my age remembers this house… and we are now at the age when windows, architecture, and sunlight become important for some reason.  The house is for sale and you can never afford it. Here is the article from Gizmodo

Ferris Bueller wannabes—like me—with enough money—unlike me—have a reason to be happy: The stunning Ben Rose Home, which was Cameron’s house in the movie, is now available for sale.

The property includes two buildings. One of them was used as a garage/car museum in real life and in the movie. The home has four bedrooms and four full baths, with beautiful forest views. Total size: 5300 square feet. But beyond the Ferris Bueller lore, the Ben Rose Home—designed by A. James Speyer and David Haid—this is my dream home: Simple, elegant, built with glass, aluminum, cedar wood, and steel over a wild ravine in the middle of the Highland Park’s woods, in Illinois. In other words, Grade A architecture/property porn.

If I had the $2,300,000 I would buy it in a heartbeat. Sadly, I don’t. Who wants to buy this for me? Anyone? Anyone?”
