Oak Brook mansion sells for $4.75M

A two-story, 6,671-square-foot contemporary-style mansion in Oak Brook’s Hunter Trails area sold on June 15 for $4.75 million — the highest sale price for a home in Oak Brook since 2009.

Built in 2016, the wood and stone mansion, which sits on a little more than an acre and has a swimming pool, had been listed for sale in the real estate agents’ private listing network. The sellers were a couple who bought the property for $1.18 million in 2013, and they then knocked down the previous home on the land and built the one they just sold.

The last time a home sold in Oak Brook for a higher price was 2009, when a seven-bedroom, 15,000-square-foot mansion just a few blocks away, on Adams Road, sold for $5.45 million.

Listing agent Dawn McKenna declined to comment on the deal in Oak Brook’s Hunter Trails neighborhood, as did Michael LaFido of eXp Realty, who represented the buyers. DuPage County records confirm that the mansion sold for $4.75 million.

The mansion had a $34,479 property tax in the 2022 tax year.

Oak Brook’s highest sale price of all time was now-retired Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas’ 2003 sale of his nine-bedroom, 27,417-square-foot mansion for $7.95 million. Since then, the former Thomas mansion has sold three times — for $2.71 million in 2014, for $2.3 million in 2016 and then for $4.5 million in 2021. In an unusual move, the White Sox in 2002 were Thomas’ lender for the mansion in a $1.907 million mortgage note that was publicly recorded.
