JENNIFER HUSTON | BURR RIDGE, CHICAGO | $2.8 MILLION

Singer, actress, and Chicago native Jennifer Huston have had her fair share of success and recognition, going so far as earning an Oscar, a Grammy, and a bunch of other awards throughout her long career. All that success has led her to have a lot of money, which is why she got the chance to settle down and return to her hometown with the purchase of this beautiful 12,000 square foot mansion in the suburban county of Burr Ridge, Chicago.

The American Idol star’s house is massive, featuring six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and sold at a price of a shy $2.8 million – that’s 33 percent off its original $4.2 million asking prices. The property was built back in 2007, being described today as a massive, castle-like estate, with amenities such as a spiraling staircase, two laundry rooms, and Brazilian inspired cherry floors throughout the interior. With a property like that, Hudson invested in a state-of-the-art home security system to make her feel safe in her luxurious home.
