Michael Jordan’s mansion in the suburbs of Chicago has sat abandoned for years.
But the house may soon be lived in once again.
The nine-bedroom home, which has been on the market on and off since 2012, is now listed as “contingent” on Realtor.com. (That designation means Jordan may have accepted an offer, but the sale depends on the prospective buyer meeting certain conditions.)
Fourteen years ago, when the legendary Chicago Bulls shooting guard listed the Highland Park, Illinois, mansion for sale, he asked $29 million. In 2015, he reduced the price to $14,855,000, but the listing had remained active.
The house is full of many nods to Jordan’s basketball career, like his number 23 on the front gate of the property, his famous Air Jordan logo on the flag sticks on his putting green, and, not surprisingly, a basketball court with that same logo in the middle.
Even after various gimmicks, like offering a complete set of Air Jordans with purchase, the house sat abandoned after Jordan left Illinois for his home state of North Carolina.
Below, we take a closer look at a house once considered basically unsellable. Most images are from footage provided by Concierge Auctions, which held an unsuccessful auction for the house in 2013. Katherine Malkin of Compass, who is listed as the current seller’s agent, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
