Actor Daniel J. Travanti on Tuesday placed his six-bedroom, 6,744-square-foot mansion in Lake Forest on the market for $1.49 million.

A Kenosha native, Travanti, 82, starred on TV’s “Hill Street Blues” police drama from 1981 until 1987.

Built in 1987, the house has 5 ½ bathrooms, one fireplace, a sunroom, high ceilings with skylights, a basement with a rec room, a butler’s pantry and a kitchen with a dual oven, an island and under-mount lighting. Travanti paid $840,000 for the house in 1995.

The house sits on a 1.84-acre property that also contains an in-ground pool, a pavilion and an artist’s cabin.

Listing agent Brad Magnant did not respond to a request for comment.

The property had a $26,592 property tax bill in the 2021 tax year.

Listing photos show that Travanti already has moved out of the home. Travanti is the latest in a series of property listings in Lake Forest that are tied to national figures. Astronaut James Lovell in July placed his longtime Lake Forest home on the market for $2.99 million. And in March, the estate of Nancy Hughes, who was the widow of filmmaker and former Lake Forest resident John Hughes, placed her five-bedroom, 12,562-square-foot mansion on 5.23 acres on Lake Michigan on the market for $15 million.

Both the Lovell and the Hughes listings were in the real estate agents’ private listing network, although the Hughes family then placed their mansion on the public market on Wednesday for the same $15 million asking price.
