—Infamous home sells: The Lakeview mansion that Cook County prosecutors said was the site of Chicago’s most infamous home video—R. Kelly’s alleged sex tape—sold for $2.64 million recently, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Kelly’s former 11-room home, at 1010 W. George, has a 1,600-gallon fish tank and a lofted living room overlooking an indoor lap pool; it sold for far less than its $3.5 million asking price. An owner who purchased the house for $1 million from foreclosure in 2008 added touches such as an elevator and a $7,000 shower head.
—Fritchey sells: Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey sold his Lincoln Park home for $990,000, according to ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com. This development took place after he was criticized for reportedly not paying more than $24,000 in property taxes. The sale resolves a foreclosure suit filed by Wells Fargo Bank in February that claims Fritchey and his wife, Karen, had defaulted on a $411,000 loan on the house. John Fritchey blames the loan and property-tax problems on the couple’s pending divorce.
