According to Zillow, the property spans an impressive 12,534 square feet and offers a range of luxury features, including eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and eight fireplaces, as reported by ClickOnDetroit.
Located at 2471 Overglen Court within the highly regarded East Lansing school district, Tucker’s former residence sits on a spacious 1.38-acre lot. The home features impressive amenities, including a 37-by-19-foot Great Room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a gourmet kitchen designed for chefs, an indoor basketball court, and a lower-level entertainment area accessible by elevator.

According to the Lansing State Journal, the legal matters related to the case are still unresolved. Tucker has filed a lawsuit against the university, alleging that he was denied the $80 million guaranteed salary remaining on his contract.
