We’d had our eye on this place for quite some time, and when we finally got a closer look, it was hard not to feel a mix of fascination and disappointment. This Abandoned Castle House was lived in up until 2020, when it sold to an investor for $1.3 million. After that, it hit the market three separate times in 2021, each listing lasting only a couple of weeks. Since then, it’s been sitting completely empty—and what’s happened to it since is rough to see.
Scrappers have torn through the place, cutting holes in the floors to get at copper pipes, ripping out baseboard heaters, and stripping wiring from the walls. Years of neglect and vandalism have taken their toll, leaving behind what’s now just a shadow of the impressive home it once was.
What makes this one stand out, though, is its design. The house had a castlesque look that made it unlike anything else in the area. Inside, there was a massive “party room” with high ceilings and a spiral staircase—a space that must’ve hosted some wild gatherings back in the day. You could tell this wasn’t your typical suburban home; it was built with personality and flair.
Now, the Abandoned Castle House sits empty, scarred by time and neglect. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can change—one day a million-dollar home, the next a target for scrappers and decay.
Would you explore a place like this, or is it one you’d rather admire from the road?
