Suburban Chicago Home Sale is Most-Expensive in 10 Years

A four-bedroom home in Arlington Heights notched the village’s most expensive residential transaction since 2014.

Chase Rohrman, and his wife, Kristin, who have familial ties to auto dealer Bob Rohrman of the Rohrman Auto Group, have purchased the 6,800-square-foot home at 632 North Scottsvale Lane for $2.25 million, or $331 per square foot, Crain’s reported.

The sale was finalized Aug. 9, with Coldwell Banker’s Robbie Morrison representing the Rohrmans and @properties Christie’s International Real Estate’s Wincy Mathew representing the seller, identified in records as Jeanine Dvoratchek.

Dvoratchek purchased the home in 2013 for $988,000 ($145 per square foot). After listing it in June of this year for $2.5 million ($368 per square foot), the property quickly went under contract, selling just 12 days later at 90 percent of the asking price.

The $2.25 million purchase is among a few homes in Arlington Heights to sell for over $2 million in recent years. The only home that surpassed it was a property on Rolling Lane, which sold for $2.4 million in December 2014, according to Cook County Clerk records.

In fact, the Rohrman’s purchase exceeded a previous local high water mark of $2.23 million, set a month previously for a newly built home on the same street.

Built in 1982, the Scottsvale property sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre and boasts an indoor pool and a view of the Rolling Green golf course.

“It has an amazing view, and the sellers did an incredible job remodeling the kitchen,” Mathew said.

The home features a stone-and-shingle exterior, a family room with wood-beamed ceilings and a library with built-in shelves. The pool is housed in a wing that extends off the back of the house, offering access to the yard through French doors on three sides.

Chase Rohrman serves as the director of operations for Rohrman Auto Group, which operates 23 dealerships across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
