Recall the scene from season one of The Bear, where Carmy (Jeremey Allen White) and Cousin Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) found themselves catering a child’s birthday party as a favor to Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt). Instead of serving homemade Ecto Cooler, they accidentally served punch spiked with Xanax. Well, fans of the acclaimed series, get ready, because the house featured as Cicero’s fictional residence is now on the market for $2.2 million.
And a firepit on a circular brick patio.
Situated in the historic Glenview suburb, approximately 15 miles north of The Loop, the home is presently owned by renowned interior designer Edwina Cowell, as reported by Mansion Global. Cowell mentioned to the listing site that the house has previously been showcased in various television and film projects, including a WeatherTech commercial. Nevertheless, she expressed that hosting Christopher Storer’s award-winning drama for its “Dogs” episode was a particularly memorable experience.
The backyard has antique brick patios.
“They stayed for three days,” Cowell recounted. “Originally, I wasn’t supposed to observe any of the filming, but by the third day, the crew invited me over and let me watch.” She mentioned that all the furnishings, both indoors and outdoors, were utilized for the set, and if a buyer was interested in acquiring them, there’s room for negotiation.

“I understand that buyers typically expect to see a large, white Calacatta marble island and gray cabinets throughout the house—essentially, the same design everywhere,” Cowell explained to Mansion Global. “And that’s fine, because I also believe that the right buyer will appreciate the uniqueness of my home. It will be someone who values the terrace, the French influences, and all the other delightful features inside.”
The formal dining room.
The nearly 5,800-square-foot, five-bedroom residence was originally constructed in the 1940s and has since undergone significant renovations. Cowell and her husband acquired the property in 2000, and five years later, they embarked on a substantial overhaul. Presently, the main level features a formal living room with a fireplace, a dining room, and a chef-worthy kitchen boasting a spacious center island, double ovens, and heated flooring. Additionally, the family room boasts soaring vaulted ceilings, a Juliet balcony, and a built-in banquet.
A breakfast area.
Ascending to the second floor, you’ll discover four of the bedrooms, including the luxurious primary suite. The latter exudes opulence with its walk-in closet and a private veranda offering views of the English-style gardens designed by landscape architect Craig Bergmann. Naturally, viewers will likely recognize the backyard the most. Serving as the ideal venue for entertaining akin to Uncle Jimmy’s style, the grounds feature numerous antique brick patios, a fire pit, a grill, and a water fountain.
The kitchen.
Although the details of The Bear season three remain undisclosed, slated to return to Hulu on June 27, the purchaser might have the opportunity to welcome the Berzatto family in the future. “Perhaps the next owner would desire their return,” Cowell suggested, “because I certainly would if I were in their shoes.”
