The brick luxury home on Tulip Tree Lane made history in the Glen Oaks neighborhood when it was listed for $5.6 million.

A party for hundreds of people can be held on the lower level of the home, with several bars, a pool table, movie theater and a giant porch.

There’s also an indoor whirlpool for relaxation.

The mansion also has a life-sized chess set in the backyard, but the best distraction is the amazing view overlooking the country club.

The house includes a swimming pool, bar and a guest house.

The 12,000-square-foot mansion sits on 5 acres.

Des Moines insurance executive Gary Kirke built the mansion in 1993. George Cataldo is the current owner and wants to sell the home to spend more time in Florida.
