Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson and his wife Mallory Pugh scored big off the diamond by sealing the deal on a Lakeview mansion for a whopping $3.5 million in September 2023. The property was formerly owned by ex-Cubs President Theo Epstein.
They obtained the 7,000-square-foot Lakeview mansion at 3618 North Greenview Avenue via a trust. The home boasts elaborate millwork, high ceilings, five complete bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms.
The custom limestone fireplace in the living room, the curved staircase with skylights, and the gourmet kitchen with its marble island and commercial-grade appliances are some of the unit's standout features.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, two walk-in closets, a wet bar, an opulent marble bathroom with separate vanities, a steam shower, and a soaking tub are all elements of the main suite.
The home also has a great room, a rooftop deck with an attached four-car garage, and a lower level with a bar, theatre, and more recreational space.
In the last offseason, Dansby Swanson inked a $177 million, seven-year contract with the Cubs.
Mallory competes in the National Women's Soccer League with the Chicago Red Stars. A month after Swanson signed the contract, they got married.
The Chicago Tribune reported that even with their recent purchase in Windy City, the Swansons are still the owners of their five-bedroom, 4,529-square-foot home in Sandy Springs, Georgia, which they originally bought for $1.63 million in November 2020.
Dansby Swanson hopes to win another Fall Classic with the Chicago Cubs
Building on their status as one of baseball's top teams, the Cubs have an opportunity to be aggressive in the offseason. A team with one of baseball's best farm systems and a strong foundation in the major leagues will hope for a postseason trip in '24.
Losing Cody Bellinger this offseason will be a big blow to the Cubs, but new manager Craig Counsell will look to pick up the pieces of a team under development and get the best out of players like Dansby Swanson to keep the hope of a Fall Classic title alive next season.
