Michael Jordan’s Chicago Home For Sale at a Reasonable $29 million

Charlotte Bobcats owner and Chicago Bulls legend and Washington Wizards should’ve-never-happened, Michael Jordan, is looking to sell his $29 million home outside of Chicago.

The secluded compound, built in the mid-1990s and renovated in 2009, encompasses more than 56,000 square feet and includes nine bedrooms, 15 full baths, four half baths and five fireplaces spread between a main house and a connected guesthouse. The property also includes an indoor-outdoor entertaining and pool area, an outdoor tennis court, a putting green, a deep water pond and three climate-controlled garages that hold 15 cars.

And then there’s the attached indoor basketball complex. The facility, completed in 2001, has a full-size regulation basketball court with cushioned hardwood floors, adjustable backboards and baskets, and a sound system tuned to provide the right acoustics in the court space.

“The target buyer is someone who would appreciate the privacy and luxury of the property, as well as its myriad and exceptional features and amenities,” said listing broker Katherine Chez Malkin of Baird & Warner Real Estate.

Property taxes on the home were $165,224 in 2010, according to public records.

So lets say you are 1 of 100 people that can actually afford this home, what do you do with all of the Jordan stuff? Do you drop another million to take the “23” off the front gate? I could totally see Lebron trying to buy this home to see if sleeping in someone’s house who’s a winner might rub off on him. I could also see Kobe buying the home just to tear it down and build a new house that is just a little bigger!
