ELITE STREET | By Bob Goldsborough | Former
Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, now with the Washington
Redskins, has sold the last of his Chicago-area real estate, unloading
his three-bedroom town home in Lake Forest on Friday for $750,000.
As also was the case with another area property that he recently sold,
Grossman, 29, took a loss on the 2,714-square-foot town home, which he
purchased in 2005 for $797,275. Grossman also lost money on his
3,437-square-foot unit in Chicago’s Trump International Hotel &
Tower, which he bought in 2008 for $2.681 million and sold in January
for exactly $2 million.
Grossman first had listed the Lake Forest town home in August 2008 for $1.025 million and later reduced its asking price to $990,000, $899,000 and $849,000.
Built in 2005, the 10-room, standalone town home has 3 1/2 baths, a two-story foyer with cherry flooring, a fireplace, a first-floor office, grasscloth wall coverings in the master bedroom and office, a full finished basement with a walk-in closet and an extra room, and a custom kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counters and Viking appliances.
Grossman previously had rented out the town home at $5,000 a month.
The name of the town home’s buyer has not yet appeared in public records.
I love the way the monkeys who edit Tribune.com post the headlines. I want some “propert” too. Propert is a good way to make money.
Rex Grossman loses a lot, doesn’t he. Losing comes natural to him.
How does this qualify as news?
Not breaking news nobody in Chicago cares about this guy anymore.
Why would Wrecks Grossman spend big money on a home in 2008 after a horrid 2007 season in which he was benched?

Hey John, it wasn’t funny the first time either…
RyanC – Let me guess…you also post comments on YouP*rn.com videos like, “Why is this entertainment?”. My point is, if you don’t enjoy Elite Street, don’t read it! You just can’t help yourself. Elite Street is *that* good. I actually find it interesting.
Rex didn’t really sell it. He fumbled the snap, and when the defense got the house back for him, he threw it for an interception.
