Former CDW Computer Centers Vice Chairman Gregory Zeman sells Burr Ridge mansion for $3.75M

Former CDW Computer Centers President and Vice Chairman Gregory C. Zeman and his wife, Caryn, sold their six-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot French chateau-style mansion in Burr Ridge for $3.75 million.

Gregory Zeman joined Vernon Hills-based CDW in 1986, and served as its president until 2000, when he became the firm’s vice chairman. He exited as CDW’s vice chairman in 2002.

In Burr Ridge, the Zemans paid $995,000 in 2006 for the property on which they built the mansion. Completed in 2008 by homebuilder Cirrus Construction and Custom Homes and located on a 0.92-acre property, the mansion is in Burr Ridge’s Highland Fields area and has six full bathrooms, two half bathrooms and a kitchen with an oversized island with imported marble countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a walk-in pantry.

Other features include a walk-out basement with a movie theater, a golf simulator, a bar, a gym and a steam room. Outside on the property are a large swimming pool with a slide, a waterfall, a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen and a sport court with custom lighting and a Chicago Bulls logo.

“The scale of the home was really like no other,” listing agent Alexandra Shaban of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty told Elite Street. “It really gave a resort-like feeling when walking through the backyard. There’s really no home that compares in the western suburbs.”

The Zemans first listed the mansion in mid-July for $4.9 million, and they cut their asking price to $4.5 million in September. The mansion found a buyer in early November.

The mansion had a $33,168 property tax bill in the 2022 tax year.
