Interest is growing in the background of the fact that the luxurious mansion of ‘Basketball Emperor’ Michael Jordan (61) in the suburbs of Chicago has not been sold for 12 years.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the 6th (local time), Jordan’s mansion in Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, is 5,202㎡ (1,573 pyeong) in size.
Jordan put the house on the market in 2012 for $29 million. When the house failed to sell, he lowered the price to $15 million and even produced a promotional video in English and Chinese. However, the house has been on the market for 12 years.
Among real estate agents, there is an opinion that Jordan’s house may be burdensome for the average person to live in. It is said that Jordan’s personal taste, such as his hobby space and symbols, is reflected too much.
This mansion, which has two floors above ground and one floor below ground, has nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, a study, a movie theater, a home bar (a place to drink), a smoking room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, a swimming pool, a gym, a tennis court, a golf practice range, and a guest house.
The main entrance is decorated with a large number 23, Jordan’s jersey number, and there are Jordan’s silhouettes with Nike logos on the flags on the outdoor putting green and in the home theater. To suit Jordan’s tastes of cigars and poker, there are also tobacco storage facilities and a poker table.
In the past, several investors have tried to purchase the mansion and remodel it into a Jordan Museum, conference center, and condos, but the location has been a problem. There are also criticisms that the mansion has limited parking space and that there are problems with the zoning.
Lakeside proximity was also mentioned. Most prospective buyers want to live right next to nearby Lake Michigan, but this home is 3km from the lake.
However, despite being on the market for over 10 years, the mansion continues to attract a lot of attention thanks to Jordan’s name. Tourists visit and take pictures at the entrance, and last year, there was even an incident where teenagers tried to break into the house by breaking a window.
