Former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Teven Jenkins has placed his four-bedroom, 3,701-square-foot house in Vernon Hills on the market for $785,000.
Jenkins, 27, was drafted by the Bears in 2021 and signed to a four-year rookie contract. The guard played in 45 games with the Bears through this past season, making 38 starts and pivoting after originally having been envisioned as the team’s left tackle of the future. In March, the Bears made three additions to the team’s offensive line, seemingly leaving Jenkins, a Kansas native, without a spot. As a result, Jenkins opted to exit, signing a one-year contract with the Cleveland Browns.
Jenkins paid $570,000 in 2021 for the house, which is in the Centennial Crossing area, close to Vernon Hills’ Metra depot. The home has four bathrooms, a two-story foyer, hardwood floors, a first-floor office, a formal dining room, a family room with a fireplace and a kitchen with Thermador appliances, white shaker cabinetry and a cherry island topped with granite.
Other features include a finished basement with a large rec room and wet bar, and a primary bedroom suite with a custom walk-in closet and a glass-enclosed shower and dual vanities. Outside on the property are a custom paver patio and an attached two-car garage.
Listing agent Jeff Ohm did not respond to a request for comment.
On April 15, Jenkins listed the house at $785,000, and it went under contract to sell just three days later.
The house had a $17,092 property tax bill in the 2023 tax year.
