If you’re in the market for a new house in Illinois and have some coin to drop, we’re going to go ahead and point you in the direction of the home of former Chicago Cubs outfielder, David DeJesus.
DeJesus bought the house back in 2011 for just over $1 million, so he’s looking to turn a little profit — like he needs it. He’s racked up over $37 million in his 13-year career, and if he keeps up the pace this season, he’s looking at another $5 million in 2016.
As for the house, let’s just say if you are one of those people who’s all about curb appeal, this is what you want. It’s surrounded by trees (not in a creepy way) and grass the USGA would kill for.
Information from the realtor:
Stunning curb appeal with incredible upgrades. Three story, solid brick on .7 acre private lot. Luxurious inside & out including exquisite new kitchen by Drury Design, new walnut floors, fresh paint, remodeled master suite w/dressing room & walk in closet. Finished basement w/rec. rm., bath, bedroom & bar. Third floor studio. Gorgeous lot with mature trees & lovely patios. Minutes to shops, expressways & train.
Just pointing it out: the recreation room could use some work. That green carpet just has to go. Sorry.
Additional Highlights of the DeJesus home:
- 4 beds/ 6 baths/ 6,000 sqft
- Need some cash? Rent out the third-floor studio
- You can’t help but be reminded of Wrigley Field with the outer brick aesthetic
- Kim DeJesus lived here!
- Just 3.7 miles from Whole Foods
- 16 miles from Blackjacks Gentleman’s Club
Mortgage: Around $6,000 per month before you hire some folks to maintain your sexy curb appeal
