WMAQ-Ch. 5 10 p.m. co-anchor Rob Stafford has listed his five-bedroom house in Hinsdale for $1.699 million.
Stafford, 55, has been on the air in Chicago for more than 21 years, since joining WBBM-Ch. 2 as a general assignment reporter in September 1992. He later spent close to 11 years as a Chicago-based correspondent for “Dateline NBC” before joining NBC 5 in 2007. He was promoted to be Channel 5’s main anchor in 2009.
Stafford paid $1,033,500 in 2000 for the then-newly built house. Features include 5-1/2 baths, an open floor plan with built-ins, French doors, oversized moldings, a first-floor office, a master bedroom with a balcony, a family room with a stone fireplace, a lower level with a rec room and a kitchen with custom cabinets, an island and Viking and Miele appliances. Outside on the property are a loggia, fireplace and patio.
“We love Hinsdale, but all of our kids have now graduated (from high school), and we’re just looking to downsize,” Stafford told Elite Street.
