CHICAGO — For the first time in 30 years, the iconic home featured in the 1998 flick "U.S. Marshals" is on the market in Lincoln Park for $4.3 million.

Several scenes in "U.S. Marshals," starring Hollywood heavyweights Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr., were filmed at 2114 N. Lincoln Ave., a Victorian mansion in Lincoln Park.

In the film, Wesley Snipes' on-screen girlfriend lives on the third floor, while Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Downey Jr. come to the house for an interview, according to RealtyMetrix's Mikus Kins.

It is a sequel to the 1993 movie "The Fugitive," which was also filmed in Lincoln Park.

The 4,000-square-foot home was built in 1881 and has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, according to Kins. In addition to serving as a backdrop for big-screen actors, it has operated as a popular bed and breakfast for the last 20 years. 

Now for sale as a single-family home, it has a variety of historical features like plaster crown molding, oak floors and high ceilings that make it unique.

The kitchen comes with Poggenpohl cabinets, and the bathrooms have Sherle Wagner sinks, faucets and tiles, according to the listing.

The home has a detached two-story coach house garage, and is just steps away from Oz Park. But there's no need to leave the home if an outdoor oasis is what you're looking for, as it sits on a 8,800-square-foot oversized lot.
