Castle

In 1992 it is believed this mansion in Rexford cost over $32 million to build. Original owner, Albert Lawrence built it to be modeled after Cornell University's campus center. He was an alumnus of the college and Llenroc is actually Cornell spelled backward. Fast forward after three previous owners and scandals, this outdated mansion has sold for just $1.9 million. This mansion may be outdated but it is grandiose and over the top. It has a 5-floor glass elevator, 24K gold gilded ceilings, Scandanavian marble floors, along with a sailboat-shaped indoor pool. It also has a mermaid bar with see-through views of the pool and fountains. It sits on 12 acres along the Mohawk River.

You will feel like a royal on a weekend getaway in this mini-castle with breathtaking Lake George views.

Derek Jeter's waterfront castle in Orange County, New York is back on the market for $2 million less and you need to see inside magical mansion.

If you've wanted to live in Downtown Albany but those apartment buildings aren't for you, have you ever thought of buying a castle? You can now that one of Albany's most famous is for sale!

Derek Jeter is one of the most famous New York Yankees, probably one of the most famous baseball players of all time and now you have a chance to live in his house (for a bit of money).

I'm actually in the process of closing on a house so I don't really have any reason to look at listings but sometimes it's fun to look and see how other people live. Especially when the house is this expensive, local, and is a castle.

Last week I posted about a castle that went up for sale in Ballston Lake. Yes, a castle. It's actually been on the market for a bit, but I figured if I didn't know there was an actual castle in the Capital Region, you probably didn't either. Which, I was right - the post was shared hundreds of times!

I look at my house and I think of how lucky I am to have been able to work hard enough to save up the money to buy it back in 2010 all on my own. It was a super achievement for me, one I've always been proud of.
