Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey in September paid $4.45 million for a five-bedroom, 7,800-square-foot town home in the River North neighborhood.
A native of Melbourne, Australia, the 6-foot-7 Giddey, 23, was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder and then was traded to the Bulls in 2024. He signed a four-year, $100 million contract with the Bulls in early September.
In River North, Giddey’s new town home is in a neighborhood where many athletes — including now-former Bulls — have lived over the years, including DeMar DeRozan, Jimmy Butler and Matt Forte. Built in 2007, the house recently was renovated and has six bathrooms, an elevator, a family room with custom paneling, a primary bedroom with Koroseal wallpaper, a primary bathroom with Ann Sacks tile, a fourth-floor lounge space with a dedicated terrace and a ground-floor level with a movie screen and an attached and heated 2½-car garage.
The house had been listed for $4.5 million. Giddey purchased the home using an opaque land trust that masks his ownership.
The sellers, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and his wife, moved just down the block, to a house they purchased in June for $7.165 million.
Real estate agent Justin Penn, who represented Giddey, declined to comment on his client’s purchase.
The house had a $43,597 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year.
