Oprah Winfrey has sold her apartment in the ritzy Streeterville area of Chicago for 2.75 million dollars - nearly 3 million dollars less than what she had bought it for in 2006. According to the Chicago Tribune, the 58-year-old talk show host never actually moved in to the home, and chose instead to live in a massive spread a few blocks away, the New York Daily News reported. Winfrey had tried to unload the 4,600-square-foot apartment in 2008 and 2009, listing it for 6 million dollars, and had then tried a different tack by listing it as a 15,000 dollars-a-month rental this winter. According to the reports, the apartment went into contract shortly after the price had been chopped in May. The house has 10-foot-high ceilings, two fireplaces, a library, a solarium, a butler’s pantry and a wine room - and his-and-her bathrooms in the master suite. The Beaux Arts-style building had been constructed in 1913 and has views of Lake Michigan.
