Burr Ridge Mansion Notches Highest Price in Over a Year

A Burr Ridge mansion that former Bulls center Eddy Curry once lost through foreclosure sold on Tuesday for a little more than $4 million, the most expensive sale in the western Chicago suburb in more than a year.

The sprawling home at 6655 Lee Court has seven bedrooms and 13 bathrooms and covers 14,600 square feet. Built in 2006, it sits on a one-acre lot on an exclusive cul-de-sac, next door to the house owned by late rapper Juice WRLD’s mother, Carmela Wallace.

The home went on the market in June last year asking nearly $5 million. The price dropped to $4.5 million in September, and it went under contract in November. The sale price is over $2 million less than what Curry paid for the house in 2006.

Rafael Murillo, the Compass agent who represented the buyers, confirmed the sale and said his clients bought the house because it offered a secluded, exclusive location while still being near downtown Chicago. The suburb is a little over 20 miles from downtown.

“The amount of land here is something you simply won’t find in nearby communities like Hinsdale or other close-in suburbs, where lots are far more limited,” Murillo said.

He declined to name the buyers, but said they plan to make renovations to the home, including adding an outdoor kitchen and a pool. Public records that could reveal the identity of the buyers aren’t yet recorded in Cook County.

“Building a home of this caliber from the ground up today would likely cost double the list price — or more — purely in construction costs,” Murillo said.

Ginny Stewart and Paige Kelly of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty represented the sellers. Stewart didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The home features an attached “townhome-like suite,” according to listing information, with a separate entrance and its own kitchen, laundry and bedrooms. The primary suite covers 1,800 square feet and includes a fireplace, sitting area and two walk in closets.

Curry bought the house in 2006 for $6.1 million. At the time, he was playing for the New York Knicks after four years with the Bulls. In 2007, Curry’s lender, Morgan Stanley Credit Corp, moved to foreclose on the house. The proceedings lasted until 2014, when Curry handed the house over to a loan servicing agency.

In 2007, Curry and his family were robbed at gunpoint in the house, according to reporting from the time. The offenders were also later charged in connection to a robbery of then-Miami Heat player Antoine Walker that same year.

Oral surgeon Louis Korompilas bought the house out of foreclosure for a discounted $3.1 million in 2014, according to property records. He transferred the property to family members in 2020, but it was transferred back to a trust under his name shortly before it went up for sale last year, property records show.

The owners paid $45,500 in property taxes in 2024, records show.

The $4 million price tag makes it the most expensive house to sell in Burr Ridge since July 2024, when a home on Cabernet Court brought in $5 million, listing services show. Wallace paid $6.9 million for her Lee Court home in 2022 — along with $1.4 million for an adjacent parcel — setting the record for a home sale price in Burr Ridge, according to listing services. She listed the home for sale in a private network in September, asking $7.2 million.

Two other homes in Burr Ridge are asking more than $4 million. A 13,900-square-foot estate with a stone facade and terracotta roof hit the market in July and is now asking $5.7 million. A 9,300-square-foot “gentleman’s farm” with grandfathered horse rights on 7.6 acres is asking $10 million, which would mark a record for the suburb if it fetches that price.

The $1 million drop from the Lee Court home’s initial asking price could be a sign those homes will need to cut their ask to find buyers. But Murillo said Tuesday’s sale bodes well for those other properties, showing a sign that buyers are interested and inventory is dwindling.

“With confidence in the luxury market and so few options available, it’s really only a matter of time before those homes go under contract,” he said.
