Jon Lester will have an easy commute to Wrigley Field this summer.

The new Cubs ace purchased a $3.8 million home just west of Graceland cemetery, Crain’s reported Thursday. The house is just north of Lakeview and less than a mile from Wrigley Field.

The house’s Redfin page reveals there are five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and 7,000 total square feet. The house also features a bar, a wine cellar, elevator, mud room and four-car garage.

Here are some photos of the home, courtesy Redfin.
