Dwyane Wade is Renting the House From ‘Webster’

CHICAGO, IL - Dwyane Wade, fresh off his two-year $47 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, has found a place to stay during his time with the team.

It’s the house from ‘Webster,’ a popular 1980’s sitcom that starred Emmanuel Lewis, Alex Karras and Susan Clark.

Wade is renting the home at 1432 North State Parkway on the city’s Gold Coast, sources told Crain’s Chicago. The 11,000-square foot Victorian mansion was built in the 19th century and has eight bedrooms, a finished basement with a large projection screen, a three-car garage, a large mudroom and home theater.

A far cry from where Wade grew up in south suburban Robbins in the 1980’s, when the sitcom aired.

The iconic home that served as the backdrop for the ‘Webster’ series when it aired from 1983 to 1989 was listed for a hair under $9.5 million back in April, but it was taken off the market once Wade signed a lease to rent the property.

The upcoming 2016-17 NBA season will be Wade's first with the Chicago Bulls, his hometown team. Wade was a member of three NBA championship teams during his 12-year run with the Miami Heat, having been named the MVP of the 2006 NBA Finals.
