Look Inside Ex-Cubs Ace Kerry Wood's Lake Geneva Mansion, For Sale For $4.9M

If you're in the market for a showstopper piece of real restate, but that Clown Motel packs a little too much nightmare fuel, you might want to consider this stately waterfront home, from a famous face known for intimidating opposing batters rather than the very core of your being.

Former Chicago Cubs flamethrower Kerry Wood's five-bedroom mansion, near Lake Geneva is officially on the block, for a shave under $5 million. Crain's reported last week that the former fan-fave starter would be listing the five-bedroom, six-bath sprawler; and now it's officially open for bids, via @properties.

You won't find anything quite so boss as Jimmy Butler's sneaker closet, but we did spot a pretty snazzy-looking wine cellar. Looks like a lovely spot for anyone with far too much money.
