Now that former Cubs’ first baseman Derrek Lee left the cursed Confines and is playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, he put his $1.275 million three-bedroom Gold Coast condo on the market, reports The Chicago Tribune. UrbanTurf is giving you an inside look.

Situated in the heart of the Gold Coast near Gibson’s Steakhouse and the Newberry Library the three-bedroom, 3.5 bath 12th-floor condo boasts modern features typical of a unit constructed in the last decade, including hardwood floors throughout, a new kitchen, two fireplaces, a master bedroom with walk-in closets and an open living space. However, it stands out from many abodes downtown not only because it belongs to a famous ex-Cub but because it has three private terraces with city skyline views looking north, east and west. The 16-story building also comes with several amenities including a doorman, exercise facilities, cable, heat and air conditioning.

Lee and his wife purchased the property in 2004 for $787,500, according to The Trib. Details and photos below.
