Elite Street | By Bob Goldsborough | Retired Chicago Cubs catcher Todd Hundley has put his six-bedroom home in Glenview on the market for $1.799 million.
Hundley, 41, played in the major leagues from 1990 until 2003, including with the Cubs in 2001 and 2002.
The two-time All-Star seemed full of promise after signing a four-year, $23.5 million contract to play for his hometown team before the 2001 season, but his two seasons here were marred by injuries, poor hitting, complaints about playing time and heckling by fans. The Cubs dealt him to the Los Angeles Dodgers in December 2002.
Hundley paid $1.6 million in 2004 for the 12-room house in Glenview, which has five full baths, hardwood floors, crown moldings, two fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, a butler’s pantry and a formal dining room.
Built in 2002, the house also has a two-story family room with a stone fireplace, a lower level with a media center and cigar room and a master suite with a tray ceiling, balcony and slate and granite bath with a therapy tub and a steam shower.
