The stately home of former NBA star Rod Higgins, who also served as the Charlotte Hornets' president of basketball operations, has entered the market for $1.5 million. Boasting gorgeous golf course views, the 7,609-square-foot residence features four bedrooms, four full and three half baths. Located at 743 Mendenhall Court in Fort Mill, South Carolina, the property is marketed exclusively by Matthew Alexander of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Charlotte office. Listing details are here.
Designed for gracious entertaining inside and out, the home features a bar, lounge and wine cellar. The chef-inspired kitchen is crafted with Eudy cabinetry, two islands, two sinks and three dishwashers, as well as Wolf, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances. An expansive first-floor master suite is designed with a walk-in closet and seating area. The master bath showcases stained glass windows, marble and travertine floors, dual vanities, Jacuzzi tub and separate water closet.
The second level houses three en-suite bedrooms and an expansive bonus room with pool table, game table area, built-in entertainment center and generous wet bar. Stairs lead to a grand home theater with two-tiered seating.
Outdoor living is highlighted by a side courtyard with brick fireplace and screened porch with automatic rolling shade. The back of the home is designed with a covered terrace off the kitchen and a separate lower patio with fire pit overlooking the golf course. Neighborhood amenities include a golf course, playground, pool, tennis courts, recreation area and walking trails.
Higgins enjoyed a 13-year NBA playing career with the Chicago Bulls, Seattle Supersonics, San Antonio Spurs, New Jersey Nets, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers. He was also the general manager of Golden State before joining owner Michael Jordan at the Hornets front office.
Quote:
“While this represents one of the more expensive properties in the neighborhood, the construction quality and extensive time, effort and care the owners have invested into making this home special make it an incredible value for the right buyer who can appreciate the overall quality and level of detail. Although the Higgins residence is one of the most expensive to hit the market in recent years in Springfield, the value of this luxurious offering far exceeds the listed price.”
