At first glance, the house at 3702 E 1st St. that just went on the market doesn’t look like much: hidden behind tall shrubbery and a brown fence, a flat, mid-century modern roof peeks above. One would assume the house was a contemporary, multi-story take on a Cliff May.

However, once behind its gate, it is easy to discover that it is a massive bastion of Baroque excess right in Belmont Heights. We’re talking marble, onyx, granite, mosaics, medallions, corbels, appliqués, carvings, crystal, Venetian plaster, and more marble and granite. We’re talking gold, silver, platinum, mirrors, and more gold. We’re talking Disney’s Beauty and the Beast shoved into a 3,233 sq. ft. home.

The four-bedroom home—it should be noted that the fourth bedroom acts as the library, Belle—has features beyond the plebeian, such as an outdoor kitchen (because who wants to have to go inside to cook?), a certified crèpe maker, and, in the words of its realtor, furniture and decorative pieces that have “been painstakingly selected and customized to maintain the integrity and opulence of the style.”

Oh, and don’t worry about your four vehicles as each has its own spot to park behind the gate.
