Michael Jordan’s sprawling suburban Chicago mansion, his home during six championships with the Bulls, has yet to find a buyer despite being on the market for nearly a decade.
This 56,000 sq. ft. custom home is located on 7 acres in Highland Park. Designed to Jordan’s specifications, it features 9 bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms, 4 half bathrooms and a 14-car garage.
The basketball legend and five-time MVP purchased the land in 1991 and the majestic home was completed in 1995 while he took a hiatus from the NBA to pursue his baseball career.
Originally listed in March 2012 at $29 million, the current price tag is $14,855,000, just over half that.
The luxury hotel features indoor tennis courts, a custom basketball court, a movie theater, a cigar lounge, a poker room and a wine cellar. However, its sales have been hampered by a high degree of customization.
These include a unique front door decorated with the number 23 and an interior design theme dominated by bronze, brown and black.
Despite numerous marketing efforts, such as tying limited-edition Air Jordan sneakers with the property, the mansion’s overt personalization and association with iconic figures like Michael Jordan largely This made it difficult to find a buyer.
