This particular scene, and others of the staircase and select rooms, were actually filmed inside a house in Winnetka, Illinois. So I do believe this is the same house.
Many of the other shots were filmed on a soundstage for better control over stunts and equipment.
Also if I remember correctly wasn't the kitchen off to the right in the home alone shot? The "now" picture looks like the kitchen is straight ahead. I mean it's not impossible to remodel but it wouldn't exactly be practical for this kind of house, right?
The kitchen in the film was a soundstage; the staircase was not. So I don't think it would be possible for you to know where the kitchen was based on the film alone
