Bucking a recent trend of former players listing their area homes and leaving town, retired Blackhawks wing Eric Daze has paid $1.68 million for a newly built, six-bedroom, Foursquare house in Hinsdale.

Daze sold his longtime four-bedroom house in Hinsdale for $725,000. It had been listed for $795,000.

A 2002 league MVP who spent his entire 11-year NHL career with the Blackhawks, Daze, 35, was permanently sidelined in 2005 with chronic back problems.

A longtime homeowner in Hinsdale, Daze has traded up to a 12-room stucco house that had been listed for $1.89 million when he closed on the purchase March 18. Features include 51/2 baths, gas lanterns that flank the front entrance, a foyer with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, oversize millwork, a family room with a limestone fireplace, a mud room with lockers, a finished lower level with a bedroom and a kitchen with custom cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances and Carrara marble.
Classified as a "green home," the house has low-flow plumbing, a tankless water heater and energy-efficient windows and appliances.

Daze paid $665,000 in 1999 to purchase the nine-room, 2,373-square-foot house that he just sold. Built in 1998, that house has 4 1/2 baths, hardwood floors on three levels, custom cherry cabinetry, a new family room and a finished lower level.
