Former Chicago Blackhawks left wing Patrick Sharp and his wife, Abby, on April 1 sold a condominium in Lincoln Park in an off-market deal for $715,000.
A mainstay of the Blackhawks’ three Stanley Cup titles between 2010 and 2015, Sharp, 42, was with the Blackhawks for 11 of his 15 seasons in the NHL. He retired in 2018, and after working for a time as a broadcaster and coach, he joined the Philadelphia Flyers’ front office last year.
Sharp bought the condo for $645,000 in 2007 from the building’s developer. The condo is in a building that has 16 units. Because the unit sold off-market, details about it could not be determined.
The Sharps hadn’t lived in the condo for many years and had been renting it out, according to real estate sources. In fact, the couple sold the condo to their tenant.
The reason the Sharps had not lived in the condo for such a long time is that in 2012, they paid $2.95 million for a six-bedroom, 7,300-square-foot mansion in the Southport Corridor area of Lakeview. They sold that mansion in 2021 for $3.14 million.
The Lincoln Park condo had a $15,438 property tax bill in the 2022 tax year.
Sharp isn’t the only former Blackhawks great who now skates elsewhere but still owns property in the Chicago area. Former Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane, who now skates for the Detroit Red Wings, owns no fewer than three Chicago-area residences — a downtown Chicago condo he bought for $2.06 million in 2008, a four-bedroom, 4,776-square-foot Near North Side condo that he bought in 2019 for $6.46 million and a mansion in Lake Forest that he purchased in 2022 for $5 million.
