$598K Gets You This Palatial Neoclassical Lake Oaks Mansion

Well, here's an oddity. While much of this 5,178 square-foot Lake Oaks manse contains some outdated elements straight out of grandmaw's ranch house—speckled linoleum flooring, carpet, low ceilings—right in the middle of it all is a grand, Neoclassical-style sunken ballroom with granite floors that's surrounded by columns, a Greek key patterned balcony and many, many statues. We love an unusual party pad. Other things of note include a bathtub that looks like a fountain and an actual fountain and patio outside. What's the asking price for this palatial abode? $598,000.
