Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler has acquired a property in his team's stronghold.

Butler, the 26-year-old All-Star and 2014-15 NBA Season's Kia Most Improved Player, bought a River North home for $4.3 million, according to Chicago Business. The Texas-born athlete was reportedly represented by real estate agent Paul Gorney of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group in the deal. Randy McGhee of @properties East Lincoln Park served as the listing agent.

The property listing on Realtor.com described it as a "one-of-a-kind" dwelling place and a "fabulous house for entertaining." The house, built in 2008, may actually be a real cool home to have fun with its landscaped roof deck that can be a venue for great parties. The expansive home, measuring more than 10,000 square feet, also boasts a wine cellar that can hold up to 750 bottles. There is also a car garage that can fit up to three visitors' cars.

Butler may also invite his teammates over as the Illinois estate is big enough for him. The Chicago abode features six bedrooms, four bathrooms and three half baths. Other living spaces showcased are a foyer, a living room, a dining room, a family room, a basement, a laundry area, a game room, a wet bar, a utility room and a great room.

Cooking will also be easy with a modern kitchen that comes with an island, a breakfast bar and appliances like a double oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, a top-of-the-line refrigerator and a disposal. After a tiring game, Butler can relax in the master suite that has its own fireplace and window shades for a comfortable sleep.

Notable interior details reportedly include large living spaces, a custom staircase, soaring ceilings, hardwood flooring and carpeting. An elevator also services all four-stories of the house.

Being the Bulls' leader

Butler, the 30th pick during the first round of the 2011 NBA draft per ESPN stats, is becoming the Bulls' respected leader and he accepts this role wholeheartedly, especially because he knows the need for one in his team, noted NBA.com.

"I think I can lead vocally, and obviously with my actions on the court. I can't tell anybody to do something if I'm not doing it. I can't ask one of these rookies to dive on the floor if I'm not diving on the floor, take a charge if I'm not taking a charge. Leadership is one of the only things that this team has really been lacking... We've got good enough players," Butler said.

During the offseason, Butler helped teammate Doug McDermott in his training, Chicago Tribune informed.
