It’s the most expensive estate for sale in Illinois — for good reason. See for yourself
Michael Jordan is no longer the reigning rich man on the block in Chicago anymore — a remarkably massive mansion has stolen his thunder.
Well, at least in terms of house prices in Illinois.
A six-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate has landed on the real estate market in the Windy City for $29.99 million. This is actually a discount from its original asking price of $50 million, according to WGN.
Jordan’s house that’s currently on the market is $14.9 million — which has dropped significantly in price over the past decade, Insider.com reports.
While the former NBA superstar’s house is a looker, this new pricey, yet elegant, residence on the market has a ton of glamorous bells and whistles that are perfectly acceptable for the cost.
“Spectacular in presentation and scale, 1932 N. Burling St. is the most prestigious home on the Chicago real estate market today - a 25,000-square-foot, custom mansion in the heart of Lincoln Park featuring six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and an unparalleled 177’ x 149’ parcel that spans more than eight city lots,” the listing on Sotheby’s says.
Yes, more than eight city lots.
Features in and around the estate include:
Balconettes
Private gardens
Reflection pool
“22k gold repousse staircase”
Media room
Game room
Sitting room
Terrace
Library
Music room
Chef’s kitchen
Outdoor kitchen
5,000-bottle wine cellar
Storage space
And the high-end amenities don’t stop there.
“Additional, design-forward details include 1,000-pound, custom-designed bronze entry doors, Italian plaster ceiling work and reliefs, custom millwork including moments of gilded and French polished burled walnut, 22K gold and platinum hardware throughout, imported inlay stone, and carefully curated 18th-century light fixtures,” the listing says.
The listing is held by Matt Leutheuser and Tim Salm of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty.
