Former Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton and his wife, Jordan, on Tuesday listed their six-bedroom, 5,347-square-foot Nantucket-style house in Lake Bluff for sale for $3.25 million.
Dalton, 36, signed a contract with the Bears in March 2021, and he was the team’s starting quarterback for the first two games of that year before suffering a knee injury and then becoming the backup play-caller to Justin Fields. He signed as a free agent the following year with the New Orleans Saints, and he now throws for the Carolina Panthers.
In Lake Bluff, Dalton paid $2.475 million for the house in May 2021 through a limited liability company. Built in 2005, the house has 6-1/2 bathrooms, four fireplaces, high ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, a living room with a custom-built bar, a first-floor study with a coffered ceiling, a family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and an updated kitchen with white quartzite countertops, white custom cabinets and an island. Other features include a lower level with a game room, an exercise room, an additional bedroom and a rec room with luxury vinyl flooring and a gas fireplace. The home’s primary bedroom suite has an outdoor deck and a marble bathroom with a large shower and a separate soaking tub.
The house has a three-car garage, a fire pit area, a fenced backyard and several paver patios.
“It’s…in a wonderful location in east Lake Bluff, and it’s on just about an acre, which is pretty rare to find,” listing agent Alissa McNicholas of Compass told Elite Street, while declining to comment on the owners or even confirm their identities. “It’s been beautifully updated and offers much of what buyers want in today’s market. It’s move-in ready, the floor play, the flow — everything about it makes it a really great offering. They transformed it. It’s completely updated, and it’s ready to roll.”
McNicholas is the co-listing agent for the home with Lori Baker of Compass.
The house had a $48,582 property tax bill in the 2022 tax year.
