Located at 423 N. Bruner Street in one of Hinsdale's most desirable neighborhoods, the impressive residence spans more than 10,000 square feet and sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre. Aucoin and his family built the home in 2007 after purchasing the property during his NHL career. Since then, it has served as the family's primary residence while reflecting the elegance and craftsmanship expected in one of Chicago's premier western suburbs.

The stately brick and stone home features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and an impressive list of luxury amenities. Highlights include soaring ceilings, richly detailed millwork, multiple fireplaces, a dramatic two-story foyer and expansive living and dining spaces designed for entertaining.
The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home with high-end appliances, an oversized island and an adjoining breakfast area overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds. Nearby family spaces create an inviting atmosphere despite the home's impressive scale.

For recreation, the lower level is loaded with amenities, including a home theater, fitness room, wine cellar, game areas and a full bar. Outside, professionally landscaped grounds include a resort-style swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, spacious patios and lush gardens, making the backyard feel like a private vacation retreat.
The property also includes an attached four-car garage and is within walking distance of downtown Hinsdale's boutiques, restaurants, Metra station and award-winning schools, making it especially attractive to buyers seeking both luxury and convenience.
Aucoin enjoyed a 17-season NHL career, playing for the Vancouver Canucks, Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Islanders, Calgary Flames, Phoenix Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets and the Chicago Blackhawks. Known for his booming slap shot and steady defensive play, he appeared in more than 1,100 NHL games before retiring in 2013.
Luxury homes owned by professional athletes often attract attention for their over-the-top features, but Aucoin's residence stands out for its timeless design and livability. Rather than flashy gimmicks, the home emphasizes quality construction, generous gathering spaces and classic architecture that should appeal to a broad range of buyers.
With Hinsdale continuing to rank among the Chicago area's most sought-after luxury housing markets, the listing is likely to generate considerable interest from affluent buyers looking for a move-in-ready estate with a notable sports pedigree.
