The mother of the late Chicago rapper Juice Wrld has listed her six-bedroom, 17,120-square-foot mansion in Burr Ridge for sale for $7.19 million.
Carmela Wallace is the mother of Jarad Higgins, whose stage name was Juice Wrld. The popular rapper, a south suburban native, died of a drug overdose in 2019.
Through an Illinois limited liability company, Wallace paid $6.9 million for the mansion in 2022. At that same time, Wallace bought a two-acre parcel next door for $1.4 million. The purchase price represented the highest amount on record for a residential resale in Burr Ridge.
Listed for now in an agents-only private network, Wallace’s mansion was built in 2016 and has six full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, a two-story foyer, Danby marble flooring, a walnut-paneled elevator, coffered ceilings, hand-carved fireplaces, Carlisle wide plank oak floors, millwork and a home theater. Other features include smart home automation, 26 surveillance cameras, a whole-house generator, home theater with surround sound, a full gym with a sauna, a pub-style bar, a craft room, a yoga studio, a safe room with a ballistic door and an indoor basketball court with a Chicago Bulls logo, a scoreboard and a motorized lift, according to listing information.
Outside on the property are garages for six cars, an electric car charger, bluestone patios, an in-ground trampoline, a heated paver driveway, a pergola with lighting, a built-in grilling station with bar seating, a gas fire pit, a fountain and a dog run with heated turf.
The $7.19 million listing does not appear to include the adjacent and vacant 2-acre parcel that Wallace purchased in 2022 for $1.4 million.
The property that Wallace has for sale had a $50,841 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year.
Listing agent Chris Pequet declined to comment on the listing.
The only higher-priced current listings in Burr Ridge are a six-bedroom mansion on a 7.34-acre property on County Line Road that is available for $10 million, and a 20.84-acre lot on County Line Road that is for sale for $8.8 million. Several other noteworthy listings right now in Burr Ridge are former Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg’s former five-bedroom house on 60th Street, which is for sale for $4.699 million, and former Chicago Bulls player Eddy Curry’s former seven-bedroom, 14,600-square-foot mansion, which is for sale for $4.5 million. Curry’s former mansion, which the seven-foot-tall center lost to foreclosure in 2012, is next door to Wallace’s mansion. It’s now owned by a south suburban dental surgeon.
