‘It’s a major award!’ And it could be all yours as the legendary Cleveland house at 3159 West 11th Street is now on the market.
CLEVELAND — One of the most iconic houses in the city of Cleveland is now up for sale.
But this isn’t just any house…
This is the house used in the filming of A Christmas Story in 1983.
The home, which is located at 3159 West 11th Street in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood, was officially placed on the market early Monday morning.
3News broke the story exclusively on GO! as Brian Jones, the current owner, officially put the “for sale” sign in front of the iconic movie location.
“Wow. Now it’s real,” Jones said with a look at the sign.
The asking price, however, has not been made available.
“Looking for the right buyer,” Jones told 3News. “It’s an interesting property to not only own, but you also have to take care of as a piece of Americana. It’s going to be an interesting journey.”

Additionally, there are two public and one private parking lots, and two empty lots, which create room for further expansion.”
