For those who’ve harbored hoop dreams, this week’s most popular home on realtor.com® is a one-of-a-kind sports paradise. An Illinois mansion is outfitted with a million-dollar indoor basketball court that resembles something you might see at NBA practice facility.
An homage to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls—complete with the Bulls’ logo painted on the hardwood—this over-the-top court is the type of place where pickup games take on a full playoff vibe. The cheering crowd can survey the action in comfort from the glass-enclosed bar overhead. (Crowd not included.)
This Midwestern estate has plenty of other show-stopping elements—including a yoga room, sauna, and fitness center—but after taking a peek at the basketball palace, everything else seems like a benchwarmer.
Besides clicking like crazy on the basketball mansion, you also clicked on a handful of historic homes, as well as a pair of waterfront Florida mansions in a price range that only the wealthiest could even consider. There’s also a quirky Indiana home that looks totally normal at first glance—until you see the troubling bathroom situation. Let’s just say that this house isn’t for anyone with stage fright.
While we ponder the ongoing trend of the open bathroom, we’ll ask you to discreetly scroll on down for the rest of this week’s most popular homes…

2. 271 S. Mineral Springs Rd, Porter, IN
Price: $219,000
Why it’s here: This three-bedroom,1,428-square-foot home is cozy and livable, with one major exception: the bathrooms. Somehow, the decision was made to simply drop a toilet, vanity, and shower in two of the bedrooms without any privacy at all. No pony wall, beaded curtain, or seated seclusion of any sort, just a toilet staring straight back at the bed. One of the home’s three bathrooms is shared with the laundry area, which isn’t all that unusual, but both of the other “bathrooms” are open to the world, and we have … questions.

1. 6679 Lee Ct, Burr Ridge, IL
Price: $7,700,000
Why it’s here: This custom-built mansion goes hard in the paint. It was finished in 2016, and we know it was a big project, because the listing details state that the Chicago Bulls-themed basketball court cost a cool million bucks to build. It’s ideal for buyers who need to work on their jumper at any hour. Preferably one who idolize Michael Jordan.
Besides the luxurious hardwood in the indoor court, the more than 12,000-square-foot mansion has a million-dollar automation system, elevator, sauna, media room, yoga room, craft room, and even a custom beverage center. Outside, there is room for parking for six cars and a heated driveway, but, oddly enough, no outdoor basketball court.
