MLB Exec Jed Hoyer Is Selling Chicago Home For $3.65 Million
President of baseball operations for the Chicago Cubs, Jed Hoyer, is ready to bid farewell to his Chicago home and welcome a new beginning somewhere else, according to Realtor.com. Hoyer and his wife, Merrill, bought the Chicago mansion back in 2019 for $3.09 million. NBC Sports reported Hoyer and his family aren't planning on leaving Chicago altogether, just moving to a different location. He signed a five year contract with the Cubs, so he has to stay close by.
The six bedroom home was built in 2006 and designed by Morgante Wilson architectural firm and is sitting on a 50 by 161 foot lot, roughly 8,250 square foot lot, in Ravenswood per the listing. The home has an open and airy floor plan with high ceilings and oversize windows in every room. Intricate details such as built-ins and wall moldings tie the whole place together living up to the modern home lifestyle.
Spacious backyard with sport court
The twin peak mansion sits next to two other homes in the suburban area made up of beautiful brick details that surround the 2.5 car garage and porch pillars that is encased by a white fence. The front lawn is nicely trimmed with a few trees and shrubs along the front porch and driveway per the listing. Multiple windows of different sizes can be seen from the outside, especially a stunning inverted window from one of the bedrooms that is located above the garage.
The backyard has its own basketball court and various lounging chairs scattered around where the sun hits them throughout the day. The detailing of the front yard continues to the back, where the stone wraps around the bottom fourth of the home. Instead of having flat walls like most homes do, Hoyer's home has curved interior walls and windows on one side of the home while the other side has those flat perpendicular style.
