The '70s called, and they want you to rent out the top two floors in this funky, leopard print-painted house.

The Castle, as the building is named according to Domu, is a "Chicago landmark" with a duplexed second unit with four bedrooms and one bathroom. The rental, in East Rogers Park (where else, really?) is being featured as move-in ready and can be rented furnished. The home also boasts gardens in the front and back of the property, at 1623 W. Estes Ave., and of course, a "unique paint job." Besides the unmissable leopard print, the exterior of the building's front room is also painted in a beige, white, black and red tartan pattern reminiscent of Burberry.

As one co-resident wrote of the space in the Reader in 2014, before the Burberry ad-on was painted, it seems: "The original denizens decided that a whimsical house needed an appropriately odd name; they dubbed the place Roger Spark Presents Wes Testes's Faerie Castle: Asbestos-on-Estes. But everybody calls it simply the Castle." The animal print itself, according to the Reader's Web Behrens, is a cross between jaguar and leopard that looks a little bit more like giraffe. In any case, you could move in anytime after next one and decide for yourself.

Rent is $2,100 a month, and leases can start as early as May 15.
