The head coach for the Chicago Bears Matt Eberflus and his wife, Kelly, paid for a seven-bedroom cost of $3.9 million on May 25, 2022, on an 8,947-square-foot English manor-style mansion on Lake Michigan in Lake Bluff.

The 53-year-old Eberflus was named the 17th head coach of the Bears in January after four seasons as the Indianapolis Colt’s defensive coordinator.
In Lake Bluff, Eberflus and his wife’s new house sits on a 4.95-acre secluded lot on Lake Michigan that is accessed via a long private driveway. The property has 307 feet of lake frontage.
The mansion was built in 1920, and it has 8 ½ bathrooms, five fireplaces, a two-story living room with ornate woodwork, a library with a wet bar and French doors, and a newly renovated kitchen with a two-story brick fireplace and a wall of windows.
The mansion also has a first-floor primary bedroom suite with lake views, a new walk-in closet and dressing area, and a primary bathroom with double sinks, a Jacuzzi tub, and a separate steam shower. Other features include a second staircase, a vaulted family room, a game room area, a theater room, and a wine-tasting room.
On the outside of the property are a bluestone patio, a pool, a spa, and a two-bedroom coach house with two bathrooms.
The Eberfluses purchased the home through a land trust, but a building permit issued for the property last month identifies the couple as the owners of the property.
According to Lake Bluff village records, the Eberfluses have embarked on a renovation of the mansion.
The mansion had been listed in June 2021 for $4.1 million, and went under contract to sell on February 24 — less than a month after Eberflus became the Bears’ head coach.
The Eberfluses also own a five-bedroom, 7,404-square-foot house in Carmel, Indiana, that they bought for $1.02 million in 2018.
