The Chicago house that belonged to the late John Hughes, director of seminal 1980s teen films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club, has been listed for sale with price hopes of US$5.89 million.

The 1,044-square-metre six-bedroom house a block from Lake Michigan features high ceilings, hardwood floors, four bluestone terraces, a three-car heated garage, a swimming pool and landscaped grounds. 

Hughes made his directorial debut with Sixteen Candles in 1984 and had considerable commercial and critical success with a string of teen-oriented movies, all set in the suburbs. He also wrote and produced Home Alone. Hughes never moved to Hollywood and lived in Chicago until his death in 2009.

The property is listed through Caldwell Banker agent Ann Lyon.
