After nearly two years on the market, Michael Jordan’s Chicago mansion is headed for auction, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The basketball icon and current owner of
the Charlotte Bobcats first listed his 56,000-square-foot estate –
appropriately dubbed “Legend Point” – outside of Chicago in February of
2012 for $29 million. The price was then cut to $21 million, although no
suitors emerged, prompting Jordan to send it to the auction block.
In an email to WSJ, Jordan said he is
selling the place he called home for 20 years because “my kids are grown
now and I don’t need a large house in Chicago.” He added that he now
spends his time at a newly built 28,000-square-foot home in Jupiter,
Fla. when he’s not in Charlotte tending to Bobcats affairs. “It was time
for some warmer weather down at my new home in Florida,” he wrote in
the email.
The home is situated on a 7.39-acre
property in Highland Park, Ill., a suburb about 30 minutes from the
Windy City. Beyond a front gate emblazoned with his Chicago Bulls jersey
number, 23, lies a nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom mansion replete with
amenities typically associated with lifestyles of the rich and famous,
including an outdoor tennis court, pool pavilion and entertaining area,
and a putting green.details...
