It started out looking like any other house, but then creativity took over.<\/p>\n

Now, the fanciful home in Palmer, AK,<\/a> sports many castle-like features, including turrets, merlons, and crenels.<\/p>\n

The regal real estate was listed for $649,000 in July, then quickly sold in early August. The sale price isn\u2019t yet known.<\/p>\n

The original owner built the place in 1985 with a cone-shaped roof on top of what\u2019s now the six-story turret.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new owner, who bought it in 1994, is a welder, and he decided he wanted a castle,\u201d says listing agent Tyler Hughes<\/strong>, with Alaska Realty & Investments.<\/p>\n

He added metal siding and removed the enclosure at the top of the tower, says Hughes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe square footage was all there, and he finished the exterior to resemble the castle look,\u201d Hughes says.<\/p>\n

The owner is an engineer with an artistic side, Hughes continues. \u201cHe likes to have fun. It\u2019s the other side of his brain playing when he put together this house for his whole family to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exterior looks like a castle, but the 4,149-square-foot interior space appears more conventional.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t reflect the castle from the inside,\u201d Hughes says. \u201cPeople are wanting to see stonework and all kind of stuff, which is going to take more time and money. I kind of hope someone does that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The five-bedroom home includes a 675-square-foot studio apartment on the third floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has a full kitchen and mountain views to the north,\u201d Hughes says. The home is near a new ski area and across the street from a winter skating pond.<\/p>\n

The six-story turret features an open deck, says Hughes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe view from the very top is 360. You can spin around, and you\u2019ve got just incredible views over the tree line. In the wintertime, even just from the second floor, the views toward the south are incredible,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

With two kitchens, the home would need just a little bit of work to be a great short-term rental, he adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got a castle there\u2014you could make a little village of tiny homes,\u201d Hughes says.<\/p>\n
