Chicago, IL -
As ChicagoPride.com reported Thursday, Rosie O'Donnell has put a home under contract in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood.
Referencing details from theChicago Tribune and Crain's Chicago Business, ChicagoPride.com columnist and real estate agent Paul Blackburn believes he has found O'Donnell's new home.
A 6,000-square-foot home in the 1500 block of W. Grace St. in Wrigleyville, which was listed for $2.5 million, went under contract on Sept. 12 for an undisclosed price.
O'Donnell recently told her studio audience that she is buying a new home fully furnished and this 4 bedroom home not only comes fully furnished, but boasts a home theater, sports bar, 3 car heated garage, 2000-square-foot rooftop deck, plus 11 foot ceilings.
The 49-year-old New York native had previously indicated she'd commute to Chicago for the show's tapings; however, in the October issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, O'Donnell calls her move to Chicago "a new beginning."
O'Donnell came under fire in April for plans to make the Trump International Hotel and Tower her Chicago address while taping her show. She later changed that decision.
"I do love Chicago," O'Donnell told reporters Thursday during an event outside the legendary Harpo Studios, which now bares her name. "I bought a house here near Wrigley Field. They told me I shouldn't say that."
"The Rosie Show" started rehearsals this week and is set to premiere Oct. 10 on OWN.
