A five-bedroom, 6,100-square-foot classic brick mansion in Lincoln Park that former Chicago White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell as soon as owned offered on March 24 for $2.12 million.
McDowell, 57, pitched for the White Sox from 1987 till 1994, and was a three-time All-Star and a Cy Young Award winner. After his 13-year Major League Baseball profession resulted in 1999, McDowell continued taking part in guitar in a rock band. In 2021, he managed a summer time collegiate baseball crew in Burlington, N.C. — not removed from his dwelling base in Charlotte.
In Lincoln Park, McDowell paid $450,000 in 1991 for the two-story home. He offered it in 2002 for $975,000 to the couple who simply offered it.
The sellers expanded the mansion in 2005 with a 3,500-square-foot addition. Situated on an extra-wide, 38-foot lot, the mansion has 5-1/2 loos, an connected and heated storage, customized woodwork, millwork, hardwood flooring all through, 10-foot ceilings on the primary stage, nine-foot ceilings elsewhere, an unique entrance door and mantel and 4 unique stained glass home windows.
Other options embody a Christopher Peacock kitchen with soapstone counter tops, a big exercise room on the decrease stage, an au pair suite on the decrease stage, seven skylights and a wall of home windows to the south. Outside are three decks and a storage roof deck with cedar decking.
“(This) is a very special home for many reasons besides the obvious (ones) — a 38-foot-wide city lot, an attached heated garage and proximity to Armitage Avenue and Adams Park,” itemizing agent Monique Pieron of @properties instructed Elite Street. “My sellers added 3,500 square feet to the original home, and it was a labor of love creating a 6,000-square-foot-plus home to raise their children. They worked with a carpenter to preserve the original woodwork and duplicate it throughout the addition to maintain some of the original character by preserving the original fireplace and added some stained glass. They also added floor-to-ceiling windows and doors facing south, opening up to a huge side deck to allow for abundant natural light. They added seven skylights, allowing for natural light all day long, which is very unusual in older vintage homes. You would never be able to build this level of quality home today for anywhere near where it sold for.”
The mansion first was listed in February for $2.295 million. It went beneath contract simply eight days later.
Public data don’t but determine the consumers. However, Emily Sachs Wong of @properties, who represented the consumers, instructed Elite Street that “it was a fantastic house with lots of wide, open spaces, in a wonderful location close to the kids’ park.”
The mansion had a $32,980 property tax invoice within the 2021 tax 12 months.
