This is a house near where I grew up---but it was always covered by trees; although we knew it was a castle, it was hardly visible from the road.
It just went up for sale, and I'm obsessed with it (mainly from the outside).
Would you ever live in a house like this?

Re: Would you live here?
There was a Bernstein house (he studied under Frank Lloyd Wright) that was for sale in Charlotte that was very close to the Cullen house. I wanted it. Badly. It had a 7' deep coi pond that you could see into from the bottom level of the house. 1,000,000 and then about 250,000 for rennovations and I could have had it. Stupid parents who abandoned me as a baby. King and Queen, where are you?!?
[QUOTE]That would be a no-go for me because I would feel silly having company pull up to a castle. I'm sure fi would take it though, dude has a thing about turrets. Wants one, bad.

I would feel so badass about giving directions to "my castle"---inviting people over would be such a sport, "Oh yea, hang a left at the light. It's the first castle on your right."
Here's the floor plan I drew up when I was 14 for my dream house... the 2 most outer lines would all be glass. I think at this stage in life I'd modify some things though haha
and Nebb---the listing price is just ridiculous---even for the amount of acres. There's a dif. listing for just the house, barns, and 4 acres, and it's only half the price. When I heard it was for sale, I thought it wouldn't even be near $150-$200thousand; I was really surprised with this price.
Totally my style. If I had an extra 850k, and a desire to live in Ohio, then hell yes.
Here's the house I want! It's still for sale, and the price has dropped! Now if it will just drop about $600K more...
I miss the Carolinas so, so, much. I must talk T into moving..

Wow, that house makes me very happy. The stairs are so fun!

The stairs, the pond, the fireplace, the sinks... all of it makes me happy. I'd be so badass walking out of that place to my car every morning in my big sunglasses and pencil skirts....
When I moved back as an adult, I was up in the University area, in the quality area near (I'm blanking on the neighborhood's name) where all the gang activity was centered - in Woodland Hollow apartments. Then, it was down to G-town..... Hooray.

Works for me!
I plan on leaving in skinny jeans, gladiators and an awesome flowy top (so we don't match) but I want big sunglasses too.
[QUOTE]I have no idea. J says it's near Southpark. I don't really care. I'd build a moat with a loch ness monster to protect me if I could live there. :)

He'll know where I'm talking about - my mom and I used to walk from our house to the grocery store in the Park Road shopping "centre" (it's now a Michaels or something - not the Harris Teeter there now). I went to PR Elementary, which is now a Montessori school in Mecklenburg Schools.

Actually I'm not even positive that's considered a turret. But yes, it's the house from Practical Magic if you're wondering.
