Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland over the summer paid $1.27 million for a four-bedroom house in Long Grove.
A Washington native, Loveland was an All-American for the University of Michigan, and was the Bears’ 10th overall pick in this past year’s NFL draft. Loveland has been a standout so far this season and was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week in November.
Built in 1984, Loveland’s new contemporary-style house has 5½ bathrooms, a floating staircase, wood and metal finishes, a living room with a two-story cathedral ceiling and exposed beams, a first-floor sitting area, a primary bedroom suite with a double-door entry and a skylight, and a kitchen with quartz countertops, a large island with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. The home also has a loft upstairs, as well as a finished basement with a recreational area and a wet bar.
Outside on the 2-acre property are two decks and a three-car garage.
The house first had been listed in September 2024 for $1.299 million. Its asking price was reduced to $1.25 million in May, and it went under contract to Loveland just two days later. As a result, with the $1.27 million sale price, it sold for above its asking price.  Loveland bought the house through a Nevada limited liability company whose manager is his mother.
Eli Masud of Compass represented Loveland in his purchase. He declined to comment on the transaction.
Loveland’s house had an $11,715 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year. It also has $100-a-month homeowners association dues.
