My business partner, Christina Ezzo, and I just listed a home in Chicago’s toney western suburb of Wheaton. This fact alone is not much news, except that the house has some interesting history: It used to be the childhood home of our nationally beloved Belushi Brothers. You know, John and Jim… But let me back up here for a minute.
Christina and I have a client who bought this ranch-style house in Wheaton back in 2005, with the intention to remodel it, and to move in with his family. His primary motivation was to live in a pleasant community with a top-notch school system. Our client didn’t know that the Belushi brothers moved in and were raised in this house during the mid 50’s, until some time during the middle of the purchase process. Good thing, because he himself is a huge fan of Jim Belushi. Rather than tearing down this one-story ranch, it was given a complete makeover and received a brandnew second story. We’re talking 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and an attached two-car garage, all situated on a 67′x160′ parcel. Unfortunately, our client’s plans of moving into this house changed which is the reason why it’s now for sale. Have a look at what this house is all about, today:
