Bueller? …Bueller? …Bueller?

Do you remember Cameron’s home from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? The mid-century modern house designed by A. James Speyer and David Haid is for sale in Highland Park, IL.

Soak in the luxury home’s incredible view of the woods with wall to wall glass to make you feel a part of nature. The glass-wrapped home boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms and features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking trees. The glass-enclosed garage was designed especially to store a collection of vintage cars.

The 5300-square-foot home originally went on the market in 2009 for $2.3 million and has recently dropped to $1.65 million. Want to know more, take a look at these photos of the Ferris Bueller House.

Designed in 1953 by A.
