Chris Chelios wasn’t known for his offence late in his iconic NHL career, but he’s reportedly looking to score a big one on the real estate market.
The Hall of Fame defenceman put his 3,795 sq.-ft. beachfront estate in the exclusive, gated Paradise Cove community in Malibu, Calif., up for sale for a whopping $59,999,950 US.
The house, which was built in 1982, features four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a large kitchen with high-end appliances, two garages and a massive rooftop deck — not to mention beach access from another cabana/patio area. The house also features a media/game room, a hot tub and a barrel sauna.
According to the house’s listing, the three-storey primary dwelling “is highlighted by a fireside living room that opens to an al fresco lounging and entertaining deck, plus a kitchen sporting an eat-in island and a breakfast nook.”
What was original price?
Chelios’ original asking price for the property in 2023 was $75 million, according to Robb Report. TMZ also reported that it already had been cut down to $67.5 million with the latest listing dropping by another 11%.
Despite dropping the price, Chelios still stands to turn an incredible profit on the mansion. According to Robb Report, the three-time Stanley Cup champ and his wife Tracee paid $6 million for the house in the summer of 2003.
The outlet reports that Carl Gambino and John Bercsi of The Gambino Group at Compass are handling the sale.
Hall of Fame career
Chelios played an astounding 26 seasons in the NHL, making his debut during the 1983-84 campaign and playing until 2009-10, when he retired at the age of 48.
During his career, Chelios suited up for the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings and Atlanta Thrashers. His 1,651 regular-season games rank ninth all-time.
He also racked up 185 goals and 948 points over his career to go along with 2,891 penalty minutes
He won the Stanley Cup three times — once with the Habs and twice with the Wings — the Norris Trophy three times and was a seven-time NHL all-star. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013.
The Chicago native is now 63 years old and a grandfather. He was in attendance during Monday night’s Hockey Hall of Fame inductions to present 2025 inductee Brianna Decker with her plaque.
