Move over, France — a French chateau in Jupiter is taking the spotlight with its elegant blend of old European style and more than ample modern bling.
Located at 230 Commodore Drive inside Admirals Cove, the chateau completed in 2016 is on the market for just under $7 million.
Designed by DesRosiers Architects with interior design by the world-renowned Perla Lichi, the three-bedroom, five-bathroom estate was built with international flair.
The windows are imported from Italy, an oversized front door was imported from Chile and the floors are made from Calacatta gold marble.

He built the home for himself but never moved in, according to Douglas Elliman's Michael Prettitore, who along with Chad Carroll, listed the home.
Markovitz owns several clubs in the Motor City, and intends to open an establishment in Pompano Beach, Prettitore said. He is also exploring several deals in Miami.
Drawing on Markovitz's penchant for nightlife, the home was fashioned with the ultimate entertainer in mind. It includes a large chef's kitchen with mirrored cabinets and drawers, a movie theater, a fully-equipped bar and a club room with a pool table.

The exterior, Prettitore said, is made entirely from stone.
The home boasts plenty of parking – four cars can easily fit in the large driveway, while another five cars can be parked in the garage.

Markovitz chronicled his own life in an autobiography titled, "Topless Prophet: The True Story of America's Most Successful Gentleman's Club Entrepreneur." In the book, he explained how he bought a biker bar in his 20s and "transformed the seedy hangout into a luxurious nightspot, one of America's first gentlemen's clubs."
In 2014, Cinemax aired a 10-part, late-night series that took viewers behind the scenes at several Detroit-area clubs he owned.
Sounds like the place has quite the carbon footprint. (^^ Not political, honest, just a snide comment) Wonder if the super rich ever get lost visiting their houses?

I wonder if it may be a little too flashy for the average buyer.
