Michael Jordan's house at 2700 Point Ln, in Highland Park is for sale, listed at a mere $29 million. It just hit the market today, listed by Katherine Chez of Baird & Warner. Clearly the agent did not check with Zillow before pricing this home because the Zillow god values it at only $4.5 million.

I find it interesting that it is located on a street named Point but it looks like it's an established street - i.e. Michael Jordan didn't get to pick the name of the street. But as you can see his front gate has a giant 23 on it.

Here are some of the home's features:

• 7.4 acres
• 32,683 square feet
• 9 bedrooms
• 15 full bathrooms and 4 half bathrooms
• 5 fireplaces according to the Chicago Tribune
• 3 bedroom guest house
• A full size basketball court - well duh! You can see a photo of it in the slideshow below
• 3 separate climate controlled garages with parking for 15 cars
• Pool, tennis courts, pond, putting green
• Annual property taxes $165,224 based upon a market value of $7,731,558. How did he do that?

All that for just putting a ball in a basket? Something is wrong with society. Here is the satellite view of the property:

Obviously this sale is being handled with a great deal of discretion as is apparent in the MLS remarks below.

Elegance & utmost privacy abound at this perfectly situated, privately gated estate nestled on over 7 acres. With outstanding attention to detail, function & style, this home is as comfortable as it is elegant. Lux entertaining areas & grounds create a stunning residence w/scale & finishes to perfection. Sold furnished w/excl. All showings & access to website w/addtl photos must provide verified financial ref in adv.

ALL BUYERS MUST SUBMIT A BANK REFERENCE AND SIGNED NON-DISCLOSURE BEFORE ANY SHOWINGS WILL BE SCHEDULED AND BEFORE VIEWING ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AND FLOOR PLANS. MIN 48 HR NOTICE FOR SHOWINGS.

There are only 6 photos see below and clearly you are not going to get in just to see the place. I assume there will be no open houses.

Oh...and the co-operating commission on this is 2.25%, which works out to $652,500 at a $29 million dollar purchase price. Puhhhleeease! Don't tell me realtors are not overpaid. Tell you what. If you buy this through me I'll raise our normal buyer's commission rebate to 90%.

meh.

I like the basketball court, that's about it.

just goes to show how shitty he can b with those bathrooms and 1/2 bathrooms

The location of it is not good for a home. It's about 15 minutes away from me but it's all highway.

Nice crib but not 4 $29 mil.

i will pay 23Million not a dime more

Yuck...I would feel like I was living in a museum. How do people feel at home living in a place like that?

I dunno. I suppose money might change me, but as I get older I like more and more the quaintness and easy sustainability of smaller living spaces. That aside, I just really don't like the style of Jordan's crib. It's like a giant spaceship or something.

one thing i noticed that Michael Jordan does not have ~ a clothes line!!!!!

so that already devalues the house to a mear 28.5 mil

I'm with you...I don't get any type of cozy or homey feeling looking at these pics. Everything looks too cold and sterile.

I doubt that having money would change my home choices that much....would it really change yours a lot?

Houses don't often have clothing lines, they have clothes lines

Just as tacky as his questionable clothing choices. The kitchen looks half decent, the basketball court is kinda aiiight ( don´t like those lamps on the ceiling) and it looks cold, sterile and lifeless.

So much house for one person?

He should´ve asked Lenny Kravitz for some interior design help.

Isn´t JustErin also into interior design? Wonder how she feels about this.

Prince´s house in Toronto also looked tacky. Seems that money ruins people´s taste. If I had that amount of money I´d live by the beach anyway.

MJ was a single man when he lived here. Why would have it all decorated like a female. Its a man's place simple & sparce..

Also leave Prince out of this....

Money can definitely make some folks dumb. Michael ain't got taste in clothing, in houses, in WOMEN (except for Juanita lol).

All lot of people have the notion that if someone is gifted in one area, that they're automatically knowledgeable about other things...it's a stupid assumption. One can be a brilliant musician and still be utterly clueless about lots of other things.
