Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan is selling his longtime family home in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park for a pretty penny.

Jordan, who renovated the fully furnished 56,000-square-foot home in 2009, set an asking price of $29 million. The mansion is the highest-priced home on the market in the Chicago area.

The property has nine bedrooms, more than a dozen full baths and five fireplaces. It also includes an outdoor tennis court, a putting green and three climate-controlled garages that can accommodate a total of 15 cars.

Unsurprisingly, the abode of the six-time NBA champion comes with a full-size regulation basketball court, complete with custom cushion hardwood floors, adjustable backboards and a sound system tuned to provide just the right acoustics, the Boston Herald reported.
