The mansion of the legendary actor, writer and director Harold Ramis has been placed on the market. Originally constructed in 1923, the six-bedroom and 8, 357-square-foot house has been listed at more than $2.59 million. Nancy, Harold’s widow, decided to put the suburban home up for sale following his death early last year from a rare autoimmune condition.
The couple had paid about 1.9 million to buy the vine-covered mansion. In 1996, they decided to buy a house in Glencoe to get closer to the actor’s aging parents. The property covers little less than an acre, has a pool and is surrounded by lush landscaping, the Chicago Tribune reported.
