For sale: The house from 'A Christmas Story'

The home of Ralphie Parker and his holiday dream, 1983's "Christmas Story," was officially put on the market Friday with no minimum price revealed.

The neighborhood's late-19th-century homes, skinny, tall and often in the Victorian style, fetch a median selling price of about $136,000.

Then there's 3159 W. 11th St., which is quickly recognizable as the home of Ralphie Parker and his tale of material desire, 1983's "A Christmas Story," which was officially put on the market Friday with no minimum price revealed.

Potential buyers will have to consider not only the home's value as a working Cleveland icon and exterior movie location that attracts visits estimated in the six figures annually, but also the additional cost of purchasing the entire "Christmas Story" campus there.

"I’m looking for the right buyer," owner Brian Jones, 47, told NBC affiliate WKYC of Cleveland. "It’s something you not only own but that you have to take care of."
