Giuliana, Bill Rancic Asking $6.8M For Gold Coast Mansion

CHICAGO, IL — The vintage Gold Coast mansion belonging to Giuliana and Bill Rancic is up for sale, and the TV couple is asking $6.8 million for the five-bedroom, 8,098-square-foot abode. The Rancics bought the three-story in 2013 for $2.125 million.

In case you're pop culture knowledge falls off when it comes to unscripted TV, Giuliana Rancic was co-host of "E! News" with Ryan Secrest for a decade (the post-Jules Asner/Steve Kmetko years) and has worked the red carpet at the Academy Awards and other events for the cable network. An Orland Park native who graduated from Loyola University, Bill Rancic was the winner of the first season of "The Apprentice," which earned him the opportunity to oversee the construction of the Trump Tower and International Hotel in Chicago.

As for the home, which was built in 1866, the couple renovated it "down to the studs" nearly two years ago, according to its listing on realtor.com. Some of the features include a chef's quality kitchen with two full-height wine coolers and multiple Sub-Zero refrigerators and a wood-paneled media room with a custom full bar and three large-screen TVs.

The house at 105 E. Bellevue Place also has a master bedroom suite that takes up the entire third floor and includes a 15-feet-high cathedral ceiling and a two-story bathroom/dressing room. Outside, the back deck comes with an outdoor fireplace and kitchen, and the roof deck provides a great look at both the lake and the city.
