Gargoyle.

Castle Home

A beautiful house-castle in a nice community on Warm Springs Ave. A mean-looking gargoyle keeps watch over the front door, so think twice about knocking!

[Luv2RV, 10/06/2024]

This is a private home, so door-knocking by strangers is discouraged.

Castle home.

Castle Home

A man's home is his castle? This is a private home someone built on a formerly empty lot -- because he could. There's even a gargoyle by the front door.

[Ed Lenarcic, 10/06/2015]

Owner Tim Barber had his castle built over a period of two years. He moved in July 2011, then listed the castle for sale in 2015 at $4 million.
