Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion goes on sale for $29m

London, Mar 1 (ANI): Michael Jordan's longtime Chicago home has been put up for sale at 29 million dollars.

The former Bulls star's suburban Chicago residence is the most expensive property in the area ever.

According to the Chicago Tribune, if the made-to-measure mansion sells for anything close it will break records. The closest sale in the area ever was a 16-million-dollar Lake Bluff home in 2007, the Daily Mail reported.

The NBA legend's sprawling estate is in Highland Park, alongside Lake Michigan, and has more than 56,000 square feet of living space.

The secluded property boasts nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms and five fireplaces.

There's also a three-bedroom guesthouse, pool area, outdoor tennis court and three climate-controlled multi-car garages.

The private gate is boldly embellished with a huge number 23, the jersey number Jordan famously wore during his initial tenure with the Chicago Bulls.

The stellar feature is an indoor basketball complex featuring a full-size regulation court with specially cushioned hardwood flooring and competition-quality high intensity lighting. It has a sound system set up to provide perfect acoustics within the court space.

The professional-calibre court also has its own entrance and parking, Forbes.com revealed.

The property was put on the market by Katherine Chez-Malkin of Baird and Warner Real Estate.

The privately-gated residence, where Jordan lived with his former-wife, Juanita, and their three children, is to be sold furnished. It took two years to build and was designed "to Jordan's exacting specifications," according to the listing. (ANI)
