Former Chicago Bears linebacker Robert Quinn and his wife, Christina, on Friday placed their five-bedroom, 4,300-square-foot house in Lake Forest on the market for $2.59 million.
A veteran of several NFL teams, Quinn, 32, joined the Bears in 2020 when he signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the team. The Bears traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles in October.
In July 2021, Quinn and his wife bought the Lake Forest house through their Elroy Q LLC company. Built in 2020, the Tudor-style house has 5-1/2 bathrooms, two fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings on the first floor, a family room with custom built-ins, a library with a coffered ceiling and a marble surround fireplace, a kitchen with a vaulted ceiling and a 3,000-square-foot finished basement with a wet bar.
The house also has a first-floor primary bedroom suite, a heated three-car garage, a slate roof, copper gutters, a brick paver front walk and a brick paver patio, all on a 0.57-acre property.
“All three floors seamlessly open to each other with a wide-open staircase, and the lower level is like a separate house in itself at 3,000 square feet,” listing agent Sarah Lyons of Compass told Elite Street. “And the kitchen space is one of the most gorgeous spaces I’ve seen in 20 years of selling real estate, with a vaulted ceiling and cabinets to the ceiling, (along with a) massive center island with ultra-thick marble.”
The Quinns previously owned a six-bedroom, 9,000-square-foot French Provincial-style mansion in Glencoe that they bought in mid-2020 for $3.5 million and sold in 2021 for the same amount.
The Lake Forest house had a $44,999 property tax bill in the 2021 tax year.
