- A Chicago mansion that once belonged to basketball legend Michael Jordan is now available for rent on Airbnb.
- The property famously remained on the market for over a decade before it sold for a third of its originally advertised price.
- Located at 2700 Point Dr, Highland Park, Chicago, itโs now advertised for $171,000 per week in August.
For any deep-pocketed Michael Jordan superfans out there, weโve got some good news โ you can now stay at the NBA Hall of Famerโs former Chicago home thanks to Airbnb.
Thatโs right, the 7.4-acre mansion with โ23โ emblazoned on the front gates could be all yours to enjoyโฆ provided youโre willing to shell out some serious cash for the pleasure.
But before we explore the incredible run of amenities this property has to offer, itโs worth noting the story behind its most recent sale.
MJโs not-so-humble abode was on the market for a full 12 years before a buyer was willing to sign on the dotted line; and that was only after the price was slashed multiple times from the original US$29 million (AU$44 million) asking price to its eventual sale price of US$9.5 million (AU$14.4 million).
Understandably, the current owner (identified on the platform as โJohnโ) is looking for a return on his 2024 investment, listing the property for an eye-watering $171,565 per week (August 2nd to 9th). Itโs also available to rent via Zillow for US$89,000 (AU$135,100) per month, with a US$50,000 (AU$76,000) security deposit.
Jordanโs former mansion can accommodate 12 guests across its seven bedrooms, though thatโs just the tip of the icebergโฆ
Other notable features include 17.5 bathrooms, a professional golf putting green, swimming pool, hot tub, cinema, commercial-sized gym, full-sized basketball court, tennis court, wine cellar, cigar room, two pool tables, and access to a nearby lake.
Basically, itโs an adult playground that you could explore for weeks without getting bored.
