Michael Jordan’s Chicago Mansion On Sale for $29 Million
Michael Jordan’s mansion in Highland Park, Illinois, where he raised his family before his divorce from Juanita, is now on the market for the price of $29 million. I went to the real estate company listed in that story and ran a search for all homes listed for at least $5 million in the past two weeks, and amazingly was able to immediately find the listing.
Among the highlights: over 32,000 square feet, 15 full baths, but only a one car garage. How does a house worth 29 million have a one car garage? Anyway, it also has a full-size basketball court, obviously, among its many other features. I would think the giant “23″ on the gate would greatly restrict the pool of available buyers. Does Ryne Sandberg have $29 million lying around?

Yup. I’ve been a few builder grade McMansions down here. While they’re big, and have all the bells and whistles, you can tell it was built in about a month. Creaky floors, low counters, terrible insulation, and, as I learned the hard way… no exhaust fans in bathrooms with windows.

Didn’t pay attention on my tour, only noticed after. The door to my master bathroom is the size of a linen closet door. I can’t go through it straight, shoulders hit.
February 29th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
I definitely don’t live in a mcmansion, but have the short vanities. My house did have really poor windows till we took care of that last spring.

The Penn State crowd for the OSU\PSU game in 2005 was the best crowd I’ve ever seen in person. Night game and completely crazy. I sat in the OSU player section (had a contact on the team that got me tickets) and happened to be the last person in the section before it went to PSU fans. The two dudes I sat next to gave me Jim Beam all game, they were cool guys. OSU lost but it was fun as hell.

I only went to two PSU games while I was there, one was the night Michigan game in 2008 when they finally won, that was awesome.
Except the “S Zone” was pink. Horrid.
February 29th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Nice pic of the listing agent on the bairdwarner link. I bet she gives MJ great helmet.
February 29th, 2012 at 12:03 PM
That game was awesome. SI ran an aerial pic of (not this one) and I could pic out my brother and I due to the two ND fans in navy sitting behind us.

That’s awesome.

Ah yes. The year when PSU fans tried to act like they were rivals with ND.

Only Penn State game I’ve been to was when they came to the Orange Bowl my freshman year. That was when Kenny Kelly (shudders) was our starting QB, Dorsey didn’t start until the end of the year. We were down, came all the way back to take the lead and then in the last minute PSU completed a long TD bomb to Choffie (Choffy? Choppy?) Fields and they won. Walking back to the metro rail outside the stadium I got hit by a PSU minivan. Good times.
February 29th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
Dude, landscaping is way more fun than windows, but I would definitely make windows a priority. Will save you on utilities, may improve value of home and the overall comfort level will improve.

I drove down for that game. It took us 26 hours due to a portion of 95 being flooded by a hurricane. It was awesome. We had a Miami fan (or more likely a neighborhood local) threaten to stab us as we walked to our car.

I like to think that half the bedrooms have their own “Dump Bathroom” in addition to the normal full sized bathroom.
At least, that’s what I’d have if I were obscenely wealthy.

I would have secret passageways throughout the house and a central liquor system like in Vegas that had a tap in each room.

False.
February 29th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
We’ve been re-doing stuff in our house and we re-did entire bathrooms except vanities. As soon as I have some money, I’m going with the higher vanity. And a second shower head in the showers.
Also… three baths (including a newer one in the basement) and none has an exhaust fan. Ridiculous. I’ve added one in, and the second is going to have to go through a wall, since there is no attic access. PITA

My grad work is in genetics, but I’ll end up in peds cardio, I hope. Still a ways to go, but if this committee meeting I have on Monday goes well (I’ve been pulling 80-hr weeks in lab for it, so it better), I’ll at least have a timeframe of when I can get to finish.

really good friend of ours here that was a resident with my wife just took a part time job as an anethesiologist…20-30 hours a week. $250k.
part. fucking. time. and I looked at my wife and asked if she was sure she still wanted to start her fellowship this summer. I mean, there’s still time to back out!

Important question, WWoS. If you aren’t in lab do you still play words with friends?
February 29th, 2012 at 1:01 PM
I keep telling mine that if she dropped out of the fellowship, there’s no shame in doing implants in Boca for the rest of her life.

February 29th, 2012 at 1:15 PM
Her cardiology roommie makes a killing with it, but the structure of her surgical fellowship really doesn’t allow for it, especially when you factor in her every other day on call and 2 partial weekends off a month. Last night was a call night and she got brought in for a heart transplant, which effectively trashes her day today. She’ll be a zombie.
