Illinois estate

The couple purchased the home in St. Charles for $1.1 million in 2015, shortly after Wahlberg and McCarthy got married in 2014. They spent years renovating the home to be more of a reflection of themselves. In a conversation with PEOPLE in 2019, the couple said that the home was special to them. "It was the first house we toured after getting married. That's when we knew we wanted to settle down in this little town and make a life for our children."


"It's the house that represents our life and the life we lead and everything we've sacrificed to get there and raise these kids. We are very grateful for that," Wahlberg added. The house is certainly dear to the couple's hearts.

Layout and interior features

The property has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half-bathrooms. The mansion is spread in 7,236 square feet area. It comprises the living room, family room, formal dining room, den, game room, recreation room and exercise room. The lower-level is also finished providing even more space for entertainment and relaxation.

The kitchen features an island, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry and butler's pantry, complemented by hardwood and stone flooring throughout the main level. Six fireplaces are also featured within these living areas as well as the primary bedroom and lower-level.

The primary bathroom is luxurious with a soaking tub, double sink vanities and full-body spray shower. These are just a few of the residential interiors that Wahlberg and McCarthy customized over the years.

Entertainment and recreation facilities

The lower-level is finished and provides additional space for recreation and entertainment. The reimagined English basement has a home theater, sauna, cold plunge, bar and gathering areas. There's also an exercise room in the residence. So, Wahlberg, McCarthy and the kids can work out without having to leave the house.

Swimming pool, waterslide and putting green

Wahlberg and McCarthy customized house

Wahlberg and McCarthy also added musical touches throughout the home. The couple worked with Chicago designer John Wolf of Wolf Home Design on the custom interiors.

Why Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy want to sell their home?

Just recently, Wahlberg and McCarthy began discussing selling the home. Wahlberg mentioned in late 2025 that he was considering moving to California to be closer to his sons, Xavier and Elijah. Wahlberg noted that his sons were one of the reasons he considered the move. Wahlberg told PEOPLE in 2025 that he and McCarthy would look into purchasing a new home if his son's continued to ask him to move to California.

Wahlberg and McCarthy may be planning to move to Las Vegas, Nevada. This potential move is related to Wahlberg's work with the boy band New Kids on the Block. They have a residency at Park MGM in Las Vegas. Cory Jones of eXp Realty is representing the residence.
