A five-bedroom, 6,671-square-foot, contemporary-style mansion in Oak Brook sold in mid-October for $5.3 million — the highest sale price in Oak Brook in 16 years and the west suburban village’s third highest-priced sale ever.
Built in 2016 and set on a wooded lot measuring just over an acre in Oak Brook’s guard-gated Hunter Trails subdivision, the mansion is made of wood, stone, glass and steel. It has 7½ bathrooms, a glass-paneled front door, an open floor plan, new European white oak floors, sculptural wood and stone accents and a brand-new kitchen with Gabana Quartzite slabs, custom cabinetry and a triple-width hood.
Other features include a first-floor guest suite, a breakfast nook, a family room with a stone-clad fireplace, a second-floor primary bedroom suite with three walk-in closets and a walk-out lower level with a recreation room with a wet bar, a mirrored exercise studio, a wine tasting room, a wine cellar and another guest suite.
In all, the mansion has more than 10,000 square feet of living space, including the basement. Outside are a swimming pool, a spa and a covered patio. The home also has a four-car garage.
The sellers, who bought the mansion in 2023 for $4.75 million, first listed it in late August for $5.195 million. It went under contract less than three weeks later, and closed Oct. 15.

“What made this home so unique is the architectural style. It had a little bit of Frank Lloyd Wright to it, but with a modern vibe. It looked like something you’d see in California or maybe Colorado — something along those lines,” listing agent Michael LaFido of LPT Realty told Elite Street. “At that price point, on its face you’re not going to get tons of showings for a $5 million listing in DuPage County. We had 10-plus showings in a couple weeks and multiple offers because of this unique style at this price point.”
The house had a $38,576 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year. It also has $438 in monthly homeowners association dues.
Oak Brook’s all-time record sale price occurred in 2003, when Hall of Fame slugger Frank Thomas sold his mansion on Midwest Road for $7.95 million. The second highest-priced sale occurred in 2009, when a 9,968-square-foot mansion on Adams Street sold for $5.45 million.
