Former WBBM-Channel 2 investigative reporter Pam Zekman has listed her six-bedroom, Prairie-style house in Uptown’s Buena Park area for $1.89 million.
Zekman was a star investigative reporter who was part of two Pulitzer Prize-winning Tribune investigations in the 1970s before joining the Chicago Sun-Times and working as a critical part of that paper’s famed undercover Mirage Tavern series, which led to the firings of city workers, indictments and the reform of several agencies. CBS 2 hired Zekman in 1981, and she oversaw investigation after investigation there until leaving the station in 2020.
In Buena Park, Zekman and her then-husband, Rick Soll, bought the house in 1987. A writer and former Tribune reporter, Soll died in 2016.
Built in 1910, the house has 4-1/2 bathrooms, three gas fireplaces, an updated front porch, a foyer and a living room with a custom wood chimney encasing and a marble hearth and mantel. It also has five outdoor areas, a kitchen with Miele and Thermador appliances, an office with custom built-in shelving, a third floor with a recreation room and a kitchen and a basement that has a caretaker’s apartment with a kitchen and a private entrance.
Listing agent Wade Marshall declined to comment on the listing.
The house had a $16,386 property tax bill in the 2022 tax year.
Zekman first listed the house on May 7.
