Carlos Zambrano's River Forest Home Sells for $675K (Photos)

Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano's home in River Forest recently sold for $675,000, according to The Chicago Tribune. 

That's considerably lower than the $969,000 he was asking for when the house was listed on the market in August 2011, right around the time the Cubs effectively benched him for the remainder of the season. 

The Cubs traded Zambrano to the Miami Marlins in January 2012, and he's currently a free agent. He had another home in Lake View on the market but pulled that in December, the Tribune reported. 

Zambrano bought the 4,000-square-foot home for $1.199 million in 2006, according to Chicago Block Shopper. It was most recently listed at $829,000 on the Weichert Realtors website. 

The home, at 506 Edgewood Pl. in River Forest, was built in 1999 and is near a natural forest preserve. It has six bedrooms, a loft and a large recreation room.
