Dream house...I mean...Castle

Yeah for cheap!!!! It's SOO gorgeous but it's in London Ontario. It's a 9,500 square foot castle (Manor) for sale. It was built in 1893, and is absolutely stunning!! And get this...it's only $475,000 CDN!! Here's the write up on it....

"Historic Woodholme Manor, comprising an impressive approx. 9,500 sq. ft. located on a 1.26 acre lot. Built in 1893 by Richard Shaw-Wood, it sits high atop the former Lawson Estate grounds. Archtecturally significant due to its countless distinctive features and attributes including its castle architectural dominance, impressive vaulted stairway, immense ballroom leading to a wood crafted fireplace and French doors leading to its oversized spacious grounds. This magnificent home will include a fully fenced lot as well as entry pillars and fencing reconstructed with material from the original entrance in the same majestic style. Recreate Woodholme Manor into a masterpiece your family will be proud of to call home for another 100 years. Full municipal services available. Home is being sold as is. It will be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act when it is transferred."

There's obviously some upgrading and renovations to be done to it of course, but think of the amazing place it will be when it's all done. It's selling for cheap, but the renovations won't be cheap haha.

Since it's going to be a heritage house, there will be limitations on what you can do to it...but who cares! It's an incredible place! Here are the photos.
