Talk about NOT a cookie cutter!

Love it! Love the windows and the brick walls. and I'm very grateful to you, NH, because i have been going crazy trying to figure out the right mortar color for my brick backsplash, and that house is exactly the look I'm going for and it's white mortar. So thank you!

I didn't get the pun until I saw the additional photos! I was not expecting that!! And while I like it, I'm not sure I could live with it. Maybe that is why the price is so low. I do love the design, however.

It is listed as 2 BR, but then it actually has 3. Does the basement BR not count? I'm not used to basements - I've only been in one residential basement my entire life, and that was in Vancouver.

Thanks for sharing.

I think the outside architecture is very nice, but the inside, well, not so much. I'm surprised at how high property taxes are there, more than twice what we pay in southern California.

We do not have a sales or income tax in NH, Ingrid. Thus, our property taxes are high.

What fun! The Gothic stuff would have to go. The over the range micro would have to go. I could cope.

Can you imagine the owners posting here for advice. "My realtor says I should get rid of the skeletons and all armored items. What do you think?

Unique! And surprising to me that such a home is so close to downtown.

I'm trying to visualize the rooms without the current decor. Would be interesting to see how someone with a good eye & a hefty budget could transform the interior.

Thanks for posting. I didn't know about this house. You'll probably chuckle at this - In another life, before my job at UNH, I used to work at a bank in Dover!

Amck--OMG, which bank?

What is the history/use of a "water house" ? It's really interesting to look at, but not nearly enough windows or light for me.

Wow, I would not have expected the ornate "castle theme" styling or all the red used in the interior, with all that brick. I think it could be lovely.

Strafford Savings Bank. Great people! Fond memories ;)

Seriously? That's where I worked. Started during summers while in college, then hired after graduating. Worked there for 16 years. We merged and became Southeast Bank for Savings.

I was Vic Cardosi's secretary in the mid '70's before the merger.

The decor looks too theatrical to me. A bit like Halloween merchandise.

With these walls, ceilings and pillars they could pull off a far better Medieval styling.

Montbrun Castle, France - for sale (Click on Photo Gallery on the right to see the entire picture album).

I think it would be fairly easy to un-Gothify this. Remove some decor items (ahem), paint over all the red paint. I think the architecture lends itself to a number of styles (being kind of unique, it doesn't seem to dictate a particular direction), from traditional, to Craftsman, to modern.

I agree that it would be easy to strip out the gothic stuff. I like it. I wonder how it feels to be inside--if it feels gloomy?

How cool is that! I've never seen an old water tank like that. The brick and wood beams are gorgeous. Take away the skeleton and all the red, but the rest could stay; even the armored suit.

Cool...it's like a modern castle tower!

Darn, I missed it. Hopefully, they will post a video. I believe the house has already sold. My sister was interested in it, but her husband didn't want to move.
