Golfer Jeff Sluman and his wife, oncologist Linda Skoog-Sluman, have listed their five-bedroom, 3,625-square-foot house in Hinsdale for $2.65 million.
Sluman, 65, won the 1988 PGA Championship and today golfs on the PGA Champions Tour. Now, the couple are headed south on a permanent basis.
“We love, love, love, love that house,” Skoog-Sluman told Elite Street in an interview. “I was born and raised in Chicago. To leave is a big move. It’s just time. We are moving to Florida. We’re retired, and we’re leaving Illinois. To be in Florida is much better for my husband’s golf game.”
In Hinsdale, the couple paid $2 million in 2020 for the two-story house, which was built in 2016 by J. Jordan Homes. The house has 5 1/2 bathrooms, a family room with a fireplace, wide plank white oak floors, shiplap detailing, a sunroom with barn doors, a dining room with a chandelier, and a primary bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling and a large walk-in closet. The house’s kitchen has O’Brien and Harris cabinetry, two full-sized Sub-Zero refrigerators, a six-burner Wolf stove and oven, a Miele dishwasher and a waterfall quartzite island.
The house also has a finished lower level with a wine wall, an exercise room and a rec room. Outside on the property are an outdoor kitchen and smoker, a built-in firepit and an electric gated entry.
The couple first listed the house several weeks ago in a real estate agents’ private listing network. They publicly listed the house on Wednesday.
“It’s a really good, livable house in a great location,” Skoog-Sluman said. “It’s close to town, and it’s walkable.”
The house had a $27,160 property tax bill in the 2021 tax year.
The couple continue to own a three-bedroom duplex in Lincoln Park that they purchased in 2020 for $880,000. Skoog-Sluman added that the couple bought that condo for their daughter to occupy while she was attending law school. That condo will be going up on the market soon as well, Skoog-Sluman said.
The couple have owned numerous other Chicago-area properties over the years, including a 9,000-square-foot custom-built mansion in Hinsdale that they built in 2003 and 2004 and sold in 2016 for $4 million.
