Listed by Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson & Associates, the two-story, four-bedroom, seven-bathroom, Mediterranean-style home was built on a half-acre at the end of a cul de sac in 1997, when it sold for $1.7 million. Why yes, it is set behind gates.

Interior attributes missing from the listing ad: an “all new” 850-square-foot gym, a hair salon, a “dramatic” master suite with sitting room, a large marble bathroom, a “newly added tremendous finished” walk-in closet and a large paneled office/library with a shark tank. Wonder if one of those pets is named “Dagger?”
