Zillow Gone Wild tells us about a home in Scottsdale, Arizona, that's on the market for $19.5 million. The interior living space is 21,410 square feet, with five bedrooms and 16 bathrooms in the main house, plus a guest house with another two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The number and size of the rooms make it seem more like a facility than a home to me, but we're just getting started.
The main feature is a full-size gym built underground. The listing tells us of famous NBA players who have played in it. It has a professional scoreboard and a locker room featuring five bathrooms. There's also a museum holding a collection of 290 pairs of Michael Jordan sneakers. There's a golf practice range, a nine-hole putting green, and a golf simulator. There's a jogging track around the perimeter of the property. Yeah, there's also a pool, theater, pickleball court, and spa. And it was only built in 2017. I wondered if it belonged to some NBA team owner or maybe a basketball player, so I did some digging.
The owner is entrepreneur Brett Hardt, who is a huge basketball fan. He built this house to incorporate the dreams of all his family members, and the gym was the first thing built. Word got around about the luxurious underground gym in a private home, and it became a getaway for NBA stars. The size of the home and the amenities make it perfect for hosting guests. But now it's for sale, furnishings included, and if you have a few million to put into a sports dream house, you'll find the particulars at Zillow.
