David Axelrod Looks to Sell Sloop Condo at The Grant

Do you want to live like a high-profile political adviser?  Well now is your chance (via Chicago Tribune):

David Axelrod — a former White House adviser and current head of the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics — and his wife, Susan, listed their three-bedroom condominium on the 44th floor of a South Loop high-rise Jan. 19 for $1.65 million.

A longtime political strategist and former Chicago Tribune reporter, Axelrod, 65, is known for helping advise Barack Obama’s successful 2008 presidential run. He then served as a senior adviser in the White House from 2009 until 2011.

David and Susan Axelrod paid $1.64 million in 2018 for the 3,000-square-foot condo in The Grant at Roosevelt Road and Indiana Avenue, so they don’t appear to expect to make much of a profit on the home, if anything.
