A DREAM home for car enthusiasts has sold for $13million — and it comes complete with a private showroom and carwash.
The massive mansion near St. Louis, Missouri, is one of the costliest residential sales ever recorded in the state.
The home, located in the St. Louis suburb of Ladue, spans 30,000 square feet and initially hit the market in October 2022, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Selling this 7.5-acre property is David Porter, the inventor of the Furminator, a de-shedding tool for pets.
David originally bought the home with his ex-wife Angela in 2009 for $7.5million, but became the residence’s sole owner before its sale.

After purchasing the home, David leveled the property and created a house with an old-world feel that honored his love of lavish cars.
The auto showroom in David’s former home, nicknamed The Dave Cave, displayed a Ferrari F12, Lamborghini Aventador, several Porches, and a Bentley.
Filling out the walls of this showroom are several pieces of Lamborghini and Porsche memorabilia.
But the most eye-catching art inside this display area is a hanging race car behind the luxury vehicle lineup.
Adjacent to the showroom is a machine shop with a hydraulic lift for working on vehicles.
Step inside the property’s seven-car garage, and you’ll also find a carwash, which features an apartment above and is power linked to the main house, according to The Wall Street Journal.
David spent four years remodeling this mansion after demolishing the original property in 2010.
The successful entrepreneur added that the home’s distressed slate and cast-stone replicas of centuries-old European fireplaces helped solidify the site’s old-world feel, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This property’s buyer was not identified but was confirmed to have been represented by Jeff Lottmann of Compass, according to The Charlotte Observer.
And they even got it for $2million less than asking.
