WLS-Ch. 7 anchor Judy Hsu sells Hinsdale house

By Bob Goldsborough | WLS-Ch. 7 morning news anchor Judy Hsu has sold her three-bedroom, farmhouse-style house in Hinsdale for $590,000.

As Elite Street reported in August, Hsu, who joined Channel 7 in 2001, decided last spring to sell the seven-room, 1,888-square-foot house because of her growing family. Since then, Hsu famously gave birth to her fourth child, son Alexander, along the Eisenhower Expressway in October en route to the hospital.

A Chicago native, Hsu and her husband first had listed their house in April for $649,000 and later reduced it to $639,000 and then to $619,000.

Built in 1994 atop the foundation of a previously razed house dating to the 1920s, the house has two updated full baths, two half baths, a master suite with a walk-in closet and a Jacuzzi tub, a finished basement, hardwood floors, new mechanicals, a high-efficiency HVAC system, a new roof, a wraparound front porch, and an updated eat-in kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops.

“A young couple bought it, and they’ll fit nicely into that block,” said Hsu’s listing agent, David Ricordati of ERA Jensen & Feinstein. “It’s a young block.”

Through a trust, Hsu and her husband paid $1.05 million in May for a larger house nearby.

Dropping anchor in South Loop

Hsu isn’t the only Channel 7 anchor on the move. Wisecracking sports anchor Mark Giangreco just paid $1.225 million for a three-bedroom, 58th-floor condo in the South Loop’s One Museum Park building also known as One Museum Park East.

Giangreco, 57, previously owned a loft in the Fulton Market neighborhood, which he purchased in 2001 for $397,500 and sold in January for $425,000.

“I always had wanted a loft experience and did that for seven years,” Giangreco said. “But I think you get a lot more for your money in the South Loop, and One Museum Park East is a fabulous building with great amenities and killer views.”

    My dad bought a 2006 Ford Mustang, for about $19,000. It has about 200 HP, and is really fun to drive and mod. It also has about 20 mpg. There’s also tons of aftermarket parts if you love that kind of stuff. Check it out.
