While some estates come with more traditional amenities like elevators and high ceilings, one home for sale in Haymarket, Virginia, stands out thanks to its arcade-like features.

The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home, which is listed for $2.7 million, is considered a “retreat” and basically a work of art, according to the listing on Zillow.com.

Like Da Vinci, come see where artistry meets architecture, where light meets the ocean floor and the physics of curves,” the listing says. “Inspired by the great polymath himself, this stunning custom designed, one-of-a-kind home has it all! Carved to perfection with meticulous detail and quality, by a visionary designer and engineer, this awe-inspiring space is truly amazing and must be seen up close to appreciate its detail, workmanship, and artistic design!”

The listing reveals that the 9,129-square-foot home was built with sports lovers in mind thanks to a special “entertainer’s” oasis.

The oasis includes:

  • Six large TVs

  • Bowling lane

  • Nine-person theater

  • Arcade room

  • Billiard room

  • Dance floor

There is also a gym, steam room, fireplace, wet bar and so much more.

The home was featured on Friday Night Zillow, a Twitter segment run by Bloomberg reporter Steven Dennis, thanks to its many amenities — including a big “party” shower.

“WOW. Fantasy basement w/bowling lane + other toys in ... (Haymarket) VA. Prime #FridayNightZillow eye candy,” Dennis tweeted, along with photos of the home.

Haymarket is about 35 miles southwest of Washington, D.C.
