Newly hired Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and his wife, Meghan, in March paid the $1.85 million asking price for a six-bedroom, 4,393-square-foot house in Green Oaks.
The Bears hired Waldron in January to replace the recently fired Luke Getsy. Waldron previously held the same role with the Seattle Seahawks.
Built in 1994, the Green Oaks home Waldron purchased has five bedrooms, a two-story foyer, and a family room with a gas fireplace and a shiplap ceiling with barn wood beams. Other features include two staircases, a large living room, a screened porch, a primary bedroom suite with two walk-in closets and heated bathroom floors, and a kitchen that was remodeled in 2020 that has high-end appliances, custom artisan cabinets, quartzite countertops, custom barn wood shelving and a butler’s pantry.
The house’s lower level was finished in 2023 and has a new exercise room, a wine cellar, an entertainment area and a children’s recreation area. Outside are a brick patio and a saltwater in-ground concrete pool, all on a 0.92-acre property.
The home had been listed on Jan. 11, and the Waldrons went under contract to buy it a little more than two weeks later. They bought the house through an opaque land trust that shields their identities, but Elite Street confirmed that they were the buyers through other public documents.
Neither Shane Waldron nor Jeff Ohm, the agent who represented the couple in their purchase, responded to a request for comment.
The house had a $21,822 property tax bill in the 2022 tax year.
The Waldrons in March sold their previous five-bedroom, 3,160-square-foot house in Issaquah, Wash. for $2.025 million. Meanwhile, Getsy, Waldron’s predecessor, and his wife in April sold their six-bedroom, 5,610-square-foot house in Waukegan for $1.6 million.
