Want to live in the old home of US Soccer? Take a look at $4.2 million estate for sale
Attention soccer fans: even though the World Cup came to a close months ago, there is now a major connection to the sport available for purchase in the Windy City.
An estate that served as national headquarters for the U.S. Soccer Federation for over three decades has landed on the real estate market in Chicago, Illinois, for $4.2 million.
For that price, you can get two mansions on the same corner lot: The Kimball House (which is listed alone for $2.3 million) and The Coleman-Ames House (listed alone for $1.9 million). They are “seamlessly connected on two levels through an adjoining coach house,” per the listing on Compass.
“The stately Kimball House mansion, one of the finest remaining examples of French Chateau architecture in Chicago, is available for the next owner to impart ideas and create a magnificent personal residence,” the listing says. “As one-half of the U. S. Soccer Federation national headquarters for the last 30+ years this unique Victorian Era property exterior features elaborately etched stone, turrets, slate Mansard roof, and decorative copper.”
Features of the 14,000-square-foot residence include:
Large bedrooms
Carved woodwork
Leaded windows
High ceiling
Four floors
Unfinished attic
There is also the possibility for a “rooftop oasis” as well, according to the listing.
The other part of the estate, the Coleman-Ames House, has four floors and spans 13,000 square feet.
“The charming brown sandstone exterior of the Coleman-Ames House mansion awaits a new owner to usher in the next phase of this building’s storied history,” the Compass listing says. “An opportunity to restore this property as a personal residence with incredible grandeur awaits the next owner. You will be amazed by the small details found in this home from the built-in cue holders in the billiards room to the intricately carved woodwork, cast plaster and leaded windows throughout.”
Features include:
Billiards room
Leaded windows
Flexible floorplan
The listing is held by Melanie Giglio and Marc Bahnsen.
