Attention Trekkies, Star Trek Mansion up for $35 Million dollars.




















Trekkies, prepare to swoon. A 27,000-square-foot home with a home theater modeled after the bridge of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise has hit the market in Florida for $35 million.

That price tag makes the home, at 3682 Princeton Place, the most expensive ever to hit the market in Boca Raton, according to representatives for Douglas Elliman. Florida agent Senada Adzem and the New York-based power broker brothers Oren and Tal Alexander, also of Douglas Elliman, share the listing.




















The seller, Marc Bell of investment firm Marc Bell Capital Partners, must be quite the Star Trek fan. The ”bridge”–which on the television series served as the command center of the starship–comes with a sound system that replicates the “woosh” the doors made when Captain Kirk or Lieutenant Commander Spock (or anyone else) walked through. The ceiling of the home theater also features hundreds of thousands of “stars,” which are built into the ceiling.




















Bell produced Jersey Boys on Broadway and currently runs an investment firm focused on real estate, private equity and entertainment ventures. Previously, he was the CEO of FriendFinder, the parent company of both Penthouse and the website BigChurch.com, an online Christian dating site, as well as several other brands.

Bell’s Boca Raton home features eight bedrooms and 16 full and two half baths, as well as a ballroom that currently houses 60-plus arcade games, including some that date back to the late 1970s. The palatial home also includes a room designed to look like the “Call of Duty” video game. Additional selling points include three full bars, a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, a library, gym and full outdoor basketball court.
