The Midwest home that once housed Ralphie and the Parker family in the classic holiday film "A Christmas Story" is now for sale - "frageelay" leg lamp and all.
If owning the home that served as the backdrop for some of the beloved 1983 film's most iconic scenes was on your Christmas list, the timing couldn't be better. Not to mention, you probably won't shoot your eye out with this kind of gift, unlike an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot range model air rifle.

Filled with "wall-to-wall anecdotes" and "nostalgically upgraded with somewhat ancient appliances," the famed home located in Cleveland, Ohio, has hit the market.
But that's not all.
In fact, the entire 1.3-acre "campus," including the neighboring museum and several other buildings, is for sale.
"Like the name implies, The Museum features the largest collection of original costumes, props, behind-the scenes photos and other items from the movie," the listing states. "The detached garage is home to a 1939 Ford LaFrance firetruck (just like the one featured in the film!)."
A 4,000 square-foot gift shop is located across the street, featuring "whimsical souvenirs that make the most glorious gift for that special someone, or that person you see as 'just a friend,'" according to the listing.
Where is the Home?
The home is located at 3159 W. 11th Street, Cleveland, Ohio, 44109.
What Do We Know About the Home?
The home was built in 1895 and purchased on eBay in 2004 before it was restored to its "original movie splendor."
Public tours began in 2006, bringing in more than 75,000 attendees each year before it expanded to overnight rentals.
Currently, the home is open year round, seven days a week, with 60-minute guided tours running every half hour.
"The House is a virtual smorgasbord of IG moments," its listing states.
