A historic Gold Coast mansion with a star-studded past has hit the market with a $6.5 million price tag.
The 10,350-square-foot, seven-bedroom house at 1432 North State Parkway, which was depicted as the family home on the 1980s TV sitcom “Webster,” made headlines in 2016 when former Chicago Bulls player Dwyane Wade rented it, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The seller, real estate developer Jerald Lasky, bought the home and the double lot it sits on in February 2021 for $5.26 million from developer Randy Fifield.
Built in 1883, the brick and stone mansion was designed by Chicago architect A.M.F. Colton & Sons, and has undergone extensive renovations over the years, including the addition of a basement level.
Five of the home’s bedrooms are located on the second floor, while the primary suite, which includes two baths and an office, encompasses the entire top level. The last bedroom, which has built-in bunk beds, is on the basement level along with a home theater, family room and game room.
The main floor of the home includes a living room with leaded glass windows, a formal dining room with a fireplace and a chef’s kitchen with a breakfast nook. A mudroom on the main level leads into a glass walkway that connects the property’s coach house and three-car garage.
The coach house includes a 1,250-square-foot apartment with an additional bedroom, family room and kitchen above the garage.
In 2016 and 2017, Dwyane Wade and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, rented the home while Wade played for the Chicago Bulls. Wade went on to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers and a final season for the Miami Heat before announcing his retirement at the end of the 2019 season.
The mansion, which had a property tax of $120,076 in 2020, has had asking prices higher than the $6.5 million it’s currently asking, and was listed for $9.499 million in 2016.
