While the Highland Park, Ill. home has been sitting on the market for 12 years — recently going viral for being in some state of disrepair — the the 9-bed,-19 bath, 32,000-plus-square foot home on seven acres is packed with special features that would make any buyer feel like they’re living like a baller. But if you don’t believe me, maybe taking a look inside might convince you.

As a bonus, all the furniture you see is included in the purchase of the home (but you can’t sell it afterwards). The home comes with its own pond, putting greens, pool, tennis court and so much more.

Now, let’s get into the goodness…

For safety and security reasons, this Jordan jersey’d-out gate is the closest you’re gonna see of the front, but judging off the view of the backyard, you can tell this property is gorgeous.

The best of the three offices is undoubtedly Jordan’s own old office. With his own custom desk, mini-fridge and more, this office is definitely where serious deals go down.

In the formal dining area, the most unique feature is the table, whose design features the entire grid of the City of Baghdad. (We don’t know why that city, that’s something you’re gonna have to ask Jordan yourself..)
