A five-bedroom, 6,100-square-foot vintage brick mansion in Lincoln Park that former Chicago White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell once owned sold on March 24 for $2.12 million.
. After his 13-year Major League Baseball career ended in 1999, McDowell continued playing guitar in a rock band. In 2021, he managed a summer collegiate baseball team in Burlington, N.C. — not far from his home base in Charlotte.In Lincoln Park, McDowell paid $450,000 in 1991 for the two-story house. He sold it in 2002 for $975,000 to the couple who just sold it.
The sellers expanded the mansion in 2005 with a 3,500-square-foot addition. Situated on an extra-wide, 38-foot lot, the mansion has 5-1/2 bathrooms, an attached and heated garage, custom woodwork, millwork, hardwood floors throughout, 10-foot ceilings on the main level, nine-foot ceilings elsewhere, an original front door and mantel and four original stained glass windows.
“ is a very special home for many reasons besides the obvious — a 38-foot-wide city lot, an attached heated garage and proximity to Armitage Avenue and Adams Park,” listing agent Monique Pieron of @properties told Elite Street. “My sellers added 3,500 square feet to the original home, and it was a labor of love creating a 6,000-square-foot-plus home to raise their children.
The mansion first was listed in February for $2.295 million. It went under contract just eight days later. Public records do not yet identify the buyers. However, Emily Sachs Wong of @properties, who represented the buyers, told Elite Street that “it was a fantastic house with lots of wide, open spaces, in a wonderful location close to the kids’ park.”Goldsborough is a freelance reporter.Advertisement
