Price Reduced on Michael Jordan's Illinois Residence

Ok, this isn't exactly North Texas, but it's still fun to peak inside celebrity homes, no matter where they are! 

CHICAGO, Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The asking price on basketball legend Michael Jordan 's longtime personal residence has been reduced from $29 million to $21 million. The secluded 56,000-square-foot compound is presented by listing agent Katherine Malkin of Baird & Warner, who originally listed it in February 2012.

Designed to Jordan's specific needs and taste, the property offers nine bedrooms, more than 15 baths and five fireplaces. In addition to the main residence, the estate features an attached three bedroom guesthouse, an indoor/outdoor entertaining and pool area, an outdoor tennis court, a putting green, a deep water pond and three separate climate-controlled multi-car garages. The residence was constructed between 1993 and 1995 and extensively renovated in 2009.

Among the features of the estate is the attached indoor basketball complex. Completed in 2001, the recreational facility has a separate entry and nearby parking area. It features a full size regulation basketball court with specially cushioned hardwood flooring, adjustable backstops and basket, and competition-quality high intensity lighting. The court also has a one-of-a-kind sound system with speakers expressly "tuned" to provide perfect acoustics within the court space.
