When one imagines medieval castles, the first image that may come to mind is a structure seen through rose-colored Disney glasses, with ivy hanging from the watchtowers, surrounded by prancing woodland creatures.
Not a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Tucson, Arizona, a state that can sometimes feel like tiptoeing on the surface of the sun. Yet here we stand… listed for $325,000.
“This extraordinary castle-inspired house built in 1939 includes two units; each with a bedroom/bathroom, kitchen and living room; nestled in the heart of Hedrick Acres! the listing on Zillow.com says.
The house is named “Castle Iona” and has some royal features, according to the listing, including:
-
14 foot castle walls
-
Watchtower
-
Covered terrace
-
Iron gates
The house was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that features unique homes for sale around the world. People had mixed feelings about the look – and location – while others enthusiastically approved.
“As an introvert, I approve of this house,” one person said in the comments section.
“I’m not going to lie, I love it! I prefer to stay alone so this is perfect for me! another noted.
“I lived right down the street and didn’t know it was here,” someone said.
“Are there a moat in Tuscon?” » one person asked.
“Surprisingly, it’s the interior I hate. Not a single dragon or a single flaming torch? Am I asking too much? another observed.
The listing is held by Rachael Benge with Keller Williams Southern Arizona.
