The Chicago mansion of con chef Charlie Trotter, who died suddenly last November, has been listed by his widow Rochelle Trotter for $2,695,000. Earlier, the items from the famous chef's restaurant were auctioned online.
A report in Huffington Post says the three-story home, built in 2001, covers an area of 5,200 square feet and features five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The house boasts several luxury features, including an entertainment theater, master suite closets, five fireplaces and a conservatory on the third flood that offers an excellent view of the Chicago skyline.
The home also comes with a connoisseur kitchen, a wine cellar plus a pizza oven atop the deck on top of a 2.5-car garage.
The report says that Charlie and Rochelle acquired the home in upscale Lincoln Park in 2007 for a little less than the current listed price of $2,424,000, but Rochelle did not live in the premises after the untimely death of her husband, which shocked the culinary world.
Rochelle told DNAinfo.com that she did not require such a big place, adding that she plans to set up an "institute of learning" and library that is to be named after her husband.
Meanwhile, Trotter's world-class restaurant on West Armitage Avenue was closed in 2012 after the celebrity chef suffered a stroke and is also on the market. Trotter himself listed the property in June for $3.8 million. It has yet to find a buyer.
The restaurant opened in 1987 and soon became globally famous.
Trotter succumbed to a stroke in November last. Following the autopsy, medics ascertained that his death was not caused to to alcohol or drug abuse.
