The mother of the late Chicago rapper Juice Wrld has listed her six-bedroom, 17,120-square-foot mansion in Burr Ridge for sale for $7.19 million.
Carmela Wallace is the mother of Jarad Higgins, whose stage name was Juice Wrld. The popular rapper, a south suburban native, died of a drug overdose in 2019.
Through an Illinois limited liability company, Wallace paid $6.9 million for the mansion in 2022. At that same time, Wallace bought a 2-acre parcel next door for $1.4 million. The purchase price represented the highest amount on record for a residential resale in Burr Ridge.
Listed for now in an agents-only private network, Wallace’s mansion was built in 2016 and has six full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, a two-story foyer, Danby marble flooring, a walnut-paneled elevator, coffered ceilings, hand-carved fireplaces, Carlisle wide plank oak floors, millwork and a home theater. Other features include smart home automation, 26 surveillance cameras, a whole-house generator, home theater with surround sound, a full gym with a sauna, a pub-style bar, a craft room, a yoga studio, a safe room with a ballistic door and an indoor basketball court with a Chicago Bulls logo, a scoreboard and a motorized lift, according to listing information.

Outside on the property are garages for six cars, an electric car charger, bluestone patios, an in-ground trampoline, a heated paver driveway, a pergola with lighting, a built-in grilling station with bar seating, a gas fire pit, a fountain and a dog run with heated turf.
The $7.19 million listing does not appear to include the adjacent and vacant 2-acre parcel that Wallace purchased in 2022 for $1.4 million.
The property that Wallace has for sale had a $50,841 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year.
Listing agent Chris Pequet declined to comment on the listing.

Several other noteworthy listings right now in Burr Ridge are former Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg’s former five-bedroom house on 60th Street, which is for sale for $4.699 million, and former Chicago Bulls player Eddy Curry’s former seven-bedroom, 14,600-square-foot mansion, which is for sale for $4.5 million.
