If you've always wanted a castle with a dungeon, here's your chance, b/c this house has one. The idyllic looking 1922 Tudor in Portland, OR looks like a lovely country estate, and for the most part, it is. 5bds, 6ba, $3.5M.
The long entrance hall.
The house looks like a Tudor outside, but it's very castle-like on the inside. Look at the magnificent great room.
The dining room looks like it's in a castle with it's stone walls and fireplace.
Chef's kitchen has fancy carved tri-color cabinetry.
Off the kitchen is a dinette/family room combo with a lovely big fireplace.
Nicely updated powder room.
Handsome wood paneled home office.
The large primary bedroom has a door to a terrace, built-in corner shelves, and a pretty fireplace.
Love the preserved retro baths. The toilet and tub are original.
Big home theater.
I don't know what this room is, but I think it's related to the dungeon.
And, here's the dungeon. It's very well-lit and features steel doors.
You'll have to decorate it yourself.
The grounds are absolutely stunning.
There's also this lovely guest house.
Beautiful greenery and water features.
There's even a lily pond.
There are 2.99 acres of gorgeous grounds.

The Shoemaker's House
You can check out the new revealing video here!!
And finally, let's head upstairs and take a look at the rest of this strange abandoned mansion!!
Located close to downtown in a small town in Ontario, we find this eclectic masterpiece of a house. What started out as a relatively average size home, it had been slowly expanded over the years to create a maze of rooms in what now resembles more of a mansion. There were columns leading to the front door, many different surface types, such as brick and stonework and of course the shoe forms built into parts of the structure as well!
The home looked as though it was broken up into several apartments, with a number 5 on one of the doors, indicating at least that many units.
The home was sold in 2021 to a development company and the current proposal is to build a 7-storey apartment building with 193 units on this and the neighbouring property.

When people decide they want a castle, they have to have a vision and then hire an architect to design it. That's why I'm fascinated by them- a wealthy person's idea of what a castle should look like. This one was built in 2019 in West Linn, OR. It has 10bds, 13ba, $6M. Well, this one sure has a lot of turrets. No drawbridge, though.
Well, it's elegant, but it's got a regular entrance.
Interesting entrance. They get right down to business- the first thing you see as you enter the front door is the wine cellar. And, it's huge.
Powder room next to the wine. Look at the sink- it's the Eiffel Tower. I like the color of the toilet, too.
The entrance hall rises a dramatic 3fls. with balconies. The blue tower is an elevator.
I don't see a sitting room. They go right into the kitchen. It has a nice brick pizza oven and blue cabinets.
The pantry is large and is used to store all the dishes.
Beautiful library.
The dining room looks like it's on th 2nd fl. I like the long room and window arches. I wonder what they store in the small doors.
There's also a shower room.
Since the dining room is on the 2nd fl., maybe the turrets are the sitting rooms.
I have no idea which room is the primary, b/c there isn't one that's very large. They're all about the same size. This one has a fireplace and a balcony.
And, this one is a twin of that one, but it doesn't have the balcony.
This could be the primary, too.
Here's one of the spacious baths.
Another bedroom that's about the same size as the others.
Cute bath.
Here's a home theater that's disappointing.
Looks like a sun room.
This part of the house is another full living quarter.
It even has it's own kitchen and you can see a living room with a stone fireplace on the right.
There are several outdoor areas.
It's a huge home on 68.48 acres of land.
