LeBron James Looks At Billy Joel's Old Townhouse? (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 07/01/10 10:09 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 05:55 PM ET

It's LeBron James Day, where the entire world focuses on the decision of one man to make a lot of money in one place, or to make a lot of money in another place.

The rumors have been flying in recent days, putting James in Chicago, no, Cleveland, no, Miami, and so on and so forth. Nobody knows for sure where the King will sign, but if you believe real estate agents (and who doesn't?), LeBron is coming to the Big Apple.

The latest reports have him checking out Billy Joel's old West Village townhouse.

The 23 Perry Street home is listed for a mere $12.9 million and boasts a secret swimming pool, four bedrooms, four bathrooms and four fireplaces.

Check out the digs:

Peter Mehlman: LeBron to Santa Monica?

Believe me, I'm under no false illusions. Luring LeBron James away from the NBA and signing him up for my Monday night game at the Santa Monica YWCA, is going to be tough.

Nate Berkus designed this amazing home. Why would anyone sell such a jewel?!

I saw this house featured in Domino Magazine about a year ago. The article attributed the home to belonging to Katie Joel, and that she had a major role in its decorating. I thought it was odd that Billy Joel wasn't mentioned in the article. Soon after, they announced their divorce. I guess he didn't let her keep her townhouse.

No entry? You open the front door and you are in the living room? Not acceptable in a $150,000 apartment.

Looks like a lovely townhome but rather boring for a young basketball star.

Sweet! This is an awesome sign.

I just hope everything else goes our way too. If we get Lebron, we still need some other powerhouses to really make it:

It seems to me that there are two living rooms and two diningrooms, why? I can understand more than one bedroom, but come on. Gorgeous home, though. If I had the dough I'd definitely be interested as I love the West Village.
