CHICAGO -- Grammy-winning R&B singer R. Kelly has put his 22,000-square-foot mansion in south suburban Olympia Fields, Ill., on the market for $1.595 million.

The mansion made news this summer as the subject of a $2.9 million foreclosure lawsuit, after Kelly reportedly failed to make monthly mortgage payments for more than a year. According to reports at the time, Kelly’s aim in not making payments was to prompt his lender to renegotiate his loan.

The 44-year-old Chicago native, whose real name is Robert S. Kelly, has listed his six-bedroom mansion in a short sale, meaning that he owes more on the property than it is worth. Features include eight full baths, six half baths, four fireplaces, an indoor pool and a theater room. Outside are private wooded land, a private lake and 12-foot wrought iron and concrete-encased fencing.

Listing agent James Mattz of Century 21 Pro-Team said the mansion’s indoor pool room is one of its most distinctive features.

“You’d think you were in the jungles of the Amazon,” he said. “It’s not a pool room, it’s a tropical experience.”

Mattz said he did not know why Kelly had listed the property.

During the news about the foreclosure lawsuit, it was reported that Kelly had not lived in the mansion for a year. Mattz said Kelly’s property “is occupied, based on what we know.”

Records also show that Kelly has been renting a high-floor unit in the Trump Tower downtown.

Another former property of Kelly’s also has made news in recent months, with the 11-room, 8,000-square-foot Lakeview mansion that Kelly once owned selling in August for $2.64 million. Kelly had owned that residence from 1994 until selling it in 2002 for $2.25 million.

It was in that house where Kelly had been accused of having made a sex tape with an underage girl. Kelly denied that he was the man in the tape, and he was acquitted of child pornography charges stemming from that tape in 2008.
