A $39 million house in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that hit the market Thursday is the city’s most expensive listing, public records show.

The waterfront home is in the tony Harbor Beach neighborhood and spans 19,589 square feet. Described as a "trophy property" in its listing with Douglas Elliman’s Chad Carroll, the house has five bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, seven half bathrooms, an eight-car garage and 300-feet of water frontage.

The ornate house also has a gourmet kitchen, a media room, a pool and spa, a game room, a gym and a wine storage room. Mr. Carroll did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The house is owned by Linda Von Allmen, records with PropertyShark show. Ms. Von Allmen is the wife of Doug Von Allmen, a businessman—and well publicised super-yacht owner—who reportedly lost $100 million to convicted South Florida Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein.

Mr. and Mrs. Von Allmen paid $1.1 million for the property in 1994, property records show, and the house was built seven years later, in 2001.

The home hasn't been on the market since 2015, when it first listed for $29.5 million before getting a bump to $35 million and being taken off the market all together that same year.

The mansion shares the honor of being tied for the top listing in Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale. The other $39 million property, a penthouse at Regalia in Sunny Isles Beach, hit the market in August, according to listing records.

Curbed first reported the listing.
