A majestic mansion in Chicago's south suburbs that previously served as the home of some of the city's biggest names has seen a massive price drop, just over six months after first being placed on the market.
Originally listed for $3,499,000 in January 2024, the home is currently listed for $2,499,000, a $1 million decrease from the original asking price.
The Olympia Fields mansion sports an impressive 19 rooms across two stories, with seven bedrooms and 9.75 bathrooms in the expansive home.

Originally built in 1997 by disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly, the mansion fell into a state of disrepair before the late Rudolph Isley of the Isley Brothers and his wife Elaine brought the building back to life beginning in 2013.
