Late Rapper Juice WRLD’s Mom Lists Suburban Chicago Estate

The mother of late Chicago rapper Juice WRLD listed her Burr Ridge mansion for $7.19 million after about three years of ownership.

Carmela Wallace listed the 17,000-square-foot home, at 6679 Lee Court, through a private agents-only network last week, the Chicago Tribune reported. The asking price is about $420 per square foot.

She purchased the property for $6.9 million in 2022, when it was the suburb’s most-expensive purchase price, well above the record of $2.1 million set in 2007. She also bought an adjacent 2-acre parcel of land for $1.4 million at the same time. That land is not part of the listing.

The home has a saltwater aquarium, crystal chandeliers, hand-carved marble fireplaces and an outdoor waterfall. It also has an underground basketball court and lounge with a wet bar. It was built in 2016 and features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three half bathrooms, coffered ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, a walnut-paneled elevator and two-story foyer.

It has a whole-home generator, smart home automation, more than 20 surveillance cameras and a safe room with a ballistic door. There’s also a full gym and sauna, craft room, home theater with surround sound and a pub-style bar. Elsewhere on the property is enough garage space for six vehicles and an electric car charger, a heated-paver driveway, grilling station with bar seating, gas fire pit and heated-turf dog run.

Listing agent Chris Pequet of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty declined to comment to the outlet. The property had a $50,841 tax bill last year.

Another Burr Ridge mansion hit the market for $10 million last month, an asking price nearly 45 percent higher than Wallace’s 2022 purchase. That 9,300-square-foot estate at 6191 South County Line Road, known as Saddle Hill Farm, was built in 1946 and sits on 7.34 acres. The asking price amounts to $1,073 per square foot.

Jarad Higgins, whose stage name was Juice WRLD, died from a drug overdose in 2019, when he was 21. His posthumous album, “Legends Never Die,” was released in 2020 and sold over 1 million album equivalents.
