We have seen homes that tried to look like castles, and small homes that were castle wannabe’s. This, however, is the closest I’ve see to a real castle and it’s in Rochester, Michigan. 

image

There isn’t a moat, but the front entrance does mimic the look of a drawbridge.  

image

There have to knights in a castle. This one has a lot of wood, but it’s lighter than the dark medieval style. Owner’s preference. 

image
image
image

Of course, there has to be a grand staircase. 

image

And, a castle also needs a great room. 

image

The kitchen. 

image

And, the royal chamber.

image

This is what you see when lying in the bed, looking up.

image

This is the main bedroom’s ensuite.

image

It’s a relatively small castle, b/c there are only 4 bedrooms. In this, the 2nd bdrm., is a trap door in the floor.

image
image

Which leads to the 3rd bedroom. 

image

And, another bath.

image

The 4th bedroom. 

image
image

This is the home office with a loft and the door in bookcase is a safe room. 

image
image

This is a craft room with a drop down work table. The shelving also tucks away.

image

The hall of mirrors looks like fun.

image

The home has secret staircases and hidden rooms, but I don’t think that this one is a secret.

image
image

And, this is the bar. 

image
image

This looks like an interesting area. 

image

The garages are on the east side of the building.

image

The garage is very beautiful inside, also.

image

The gates look like they include watch towers.
