This is a plot twist even Ralphie didn't see coming.
The iconic "A Christmas Story" House in Cleveland is up for sale.
The setting for the beloved holiday movie has been transformed into a museum and a bed and breakfast in recent years.
Film buff Brian Jones, who purchased the house for $150,000 on eBay in 2004, announced Monday that he is putting the fictional home of Ralphie Parker, along with the Bumpus House next door, a museum/gift shop across the street and some other nearby lots up for sale.
A large for sale sign is already up outside of the home that comes complete with a "frageelay" leg lamp in the front window.
Jones has spent tens of thousands over the years to restore the home and the surrounding properties to how they appeared in the 1983 movie that was filmed in and around Cleveland.

Who's selling the 'Christmas Story' house?
The home's sale is being handled by Hoff & Leigh real estate and no price tag of what Jones hopes to get for the home and the surrounding properties has been disclosed.
There is a website for the listing of the home and neighboring properties. "The entire campus is for sale," according to the website.
The famed house was built in 1895 and opened for public tours in 2006 and attracts some 75,000 visitors annually.
