Former Bear Rashied Davis buys Libertyville home

Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Rashied Davis has paid $670,000 for a four-bedroom, 2,862-square-foot house in Libertyville.

Davis, 35, was with the Bears from 2005 to 2011 and again briefly in August 2012.

The house Davis bought, built in 1990, was listed for $715,000 in July and had its price reduced to $699,000. Features include 4-1/2 baths, a basement with a second kitchen and a family room, and custom storage areas from California Closets.

Marla Schneider, the agent who represented Davis in the deal, declined to comment.

Separately, Davis has a contract to sell his three-bedroom, half-duplex in Mundelein, which is on the market for $225,900. Davis paid $248,000 in 2006 for the home, which has 2-1/2 baths, a two-story living room and entry, walnut floors, vaulted ceilings, and a kitchen with granite countertops and maple cabinets.

Schneider also is the listing agent for the Mundelein home, which came on the market in early November.

Former Cub Todd Hollandsworth buys $1 million Barrington house

Former Chicago Cubs outfielder Todd Hollandsworth, now a Cubs pregame and postgame analyst for Comcast SportsNet and also a baseball analyst for MLB Network Radio, last month paid $1 million for a newly built, five-bedroom, 3,525-square-foot house in Barrington.

Hollandsworth, 41, who spent 12 years in the major leagues, recently sold his five-bedroom, 7,012-square-foot mansion in Inverness for $1.5 million. Now, Hollandsworth has decamped for a new home just a few miles away in Barrington.

Features in the nine-room, Colonial-style house include four baths, a fireplace, white woodwork, wainscoting, a finished basement and a detached, two-car garage. The house first was listed in January for $895,000 and had its asking price increased to $1.05 million. The seller then reduced the asking price to $995,000.

Denise Hessel of Baird & Warner, who represented Hollandsworth, declined to comment on the purchase.

WFLD-Ch. 32 lead sports anchor Lou Canellis and his wife, Monica, last month paid $930,000 for a three-bedroom condo on the 12th floor of a 26-story South Loop tower, and they also have sold their longtime condo in a different building in the South Loop for $675,000.

A veteran of Chicago's broadcasting scene, Canellis, 50, joined Fox 32 in 2010 and later that year became the station's main sports anchor.

Canellis' new 2,319-square-foot condo in the South Loop had been listed for as much as $1.23 million and most recently was available for $1.05 million. Monica Canellis, who is a broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff, represented the couple in the purchase.

Features include northeast views of Lake Michigan, three baths, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom built-ins, a large marble master bath, a split bedroom floor plan, and a fully upgraded kitchen with granite countertops, a full backsplash and stainless steel appliances.

Miriam Santos, former Chicago city treasurer, sells house for $1 million

Former Chicago City Treasurer Miriam Santos last month sold her three-bedroom house in the Southport Corridor area of Lakeview for $1.01 million.

Santos, who in 1991 became the first Hispanic elected to a citywide office, was convicted in May 1999 of five counts of mail fraud and one count of attempted extortion. Her conviction was overturned in 2000, and before a retrial, she agreed to plead guilty to a single count of mail-fraud and was sentenced to time served — nearly four months.

Santos in 1995 paid $423,000 for the contemporary-style brick house, which was built in 1991. She listed it in 2012 for $1.05 million, and had it on and off the market for the next two years priced between $949,000 and $1.05 million. Most recently, her asking price was $1.025 million.

Features include 2-1/2 baths, a new custom kitchen with granite countertops and a glass-tiled backsplash, a master bath with a double vanity and a separate shower and water closet, a third-floor penthouse loft with a deck...

House built by White Sox slugger Frank Thomas sells for $2.71 million

The 41-room, 25,000-square-foot contemporary-style mansion in Oak Brook that retired Chicago White Sox Hall of Fame slugger Frank Thomas built in the 1990s sold Friday for $2.71 million.

The mansion, at 3312 Midwest Road in Oak Brook, had been listed by Bank of America after the couple who had bought it from Thomas subsequently lost it to foreclosure. Friday's deal closed well above the bank's nearly $2.5 million asking price, and an agent who represented the buyer said there were at least five offers.

However, Friday's sale price was a far cry from the $7.95 million that Thomas reaped in 2003, when he sold the nine-bedroom mansion to real estate developer Ronald Scarlato. That sale remains the highest price ever paid in DuPage County for a residence.

After Scarlato lost the mansion to foreclosure earlier this year, Bank of America was the lone bidder at a DuPage sheriff's sale, paying the $3 million opening bid for the mansion and its 3.3-acre parcel. The bank then listed the mansion...
