Michael Jordan home sold: Bulls star’s Highland Park mansion under contract after 12 years

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (WLS) — Michael Jordan’s iconic mansion is in the final stages of being sold.

The former Chicago Bulls superstar’s 32,683-square-foot home in Highland Park, went under contract on Sunday after being on the market for 12 years, according to The Athletic. The house was last listed in 2015 for $14,855,000 — a $14,145,000 difference from the original asking price of $29,000,000 when the estate went up for sale in 2012. The final price has not been made public.

Jordan bought seven acres of property in 1991 before building the 56,000-square-foot mansion in 1995, according to The Athletic. The home underwent significant renovations in 2009.

The seven-acre luxury property includes an indoor regulation-sized basketball court, a tennis court, a putting green and a swimming pool. The home also has nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms — 15 of which are full-sized — an office space, library, cigar room, five fireplaces and a 14-car garage. The front gate of Jordan’s estate features a life-sized “23.”

Jordan recently sold his Chicago condo for $6.82 million in 2023.

The mansion remains a popular tourist destination.

“You learn to live with it,” said Howard Serlin, who lives in the neighborhood.

Serlin and his wife moved in around the same time Jordan’s mansion was put up for sale.

“We’ve seen some interesting things. People coming up in wedding dresses and people bringing basketballs and standing in front of the gate,” he said. “There’s always some speculation about what might happen. Are they gonna tear it down, do they want to put up a museum?”

California-based luxury real estate agent Kofi Nartey spent a year trying to get the house sold.

He said the property was designed to do all your living in one place.

For now, the house is still a photo-op for Jordan fans.

“Now I take the opportunity to take picture because I’m telling my wife and friend that in time this house would be sold to a different person, and they take down the number,” Jesson Chabit said.

Whether the deal closes, and for what price remains to be seen, along with who the buyer would be.

In the meantime, Jordan can split his time between his other properties in Florida and North Carolina.
