An Encino home where Elisabeth Shue’s character Ali lived in “The Karate Kid” is back on the market for $4.99 million.
Located at 4072 Alonzo Ave., the now-gated residence served as a symbol of the class divide between Ralph Macchio’s character, Daniel, and Ali in the original 1984 film. The cult hit also famously starred Noriyuki “Pat” Morita.
Today, the five-bedroom, 5.5-bath dwelling is barely recognizable from what it looked like in the film.
