Michael Jordan has put his longtime home in Highland Park, Ill., on the market for $29 million, according to the company marketing the listing, Luxury Portfolio International.
The former NBA player, widely regarded as the greatest basketball icon of all time, has lived in the compound with more than 56,000 square feet of space for more than 15 years.
Constructed between 1993 and 1995 and extensively renovated in 2009, the house in the Chicago suburb has nine bedrooms, more than 15 bathrooms and five fireplaces. Mr. Jordan, who in his 15 seasons as a player led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA Championship titles, has “23″—his famous jersey number—engraved on the gates of the property.
In addition to the main house, the more than 7-acre property includes a three-bedroom guesthouse and three separate climate-controlled multi-car garages.
An indoor basketball complex, which has a separate entry and nearby parking area, was completed in 2001. The facility features a full-size regulation basketball court with specially cushioned hardwood flooring, adjustable backstops and baskets and competition-quality, high-intensity lighting. The complex has a sound system tuned to provide perfect acoustics within the court space.
Other amenities include an entertaining and pool area, an outdoor tennis court, a putting green and a deep water pond.
