The home features nine bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms, four half-bathrooms, a dry bar, and a wet bar. The mansion also has a tennis court, a pond, a basketball court, and a private in-ground pool.
The home was put on the market in 2012. Despite its beauty and lore of being attached to Jordan, it didn’t sell for 13 years. Real estate executive John Cooper changed that when he bought the home for $9.5 million.
Cooper has named the property “Champions Point” to retain the legacy of Jordan.
“Champions Point has always been a legendary estate. Now, we’re making it possible for more people to experience that magic firsthand through our partnership with Airbnb Luxe,” Cooper said. “Whether it’s a family retreat, milestone celebration, or unforgettable getaway with friends, this estate offers an unparalleled experience in luxury living.”
Now, the Chicago mansion is listed as an Airbnb. This is an exciting opportunity for any Chicago Bulls and Jordan fans.
