You got $3 million for a castle? Yeah, me neither

Ah, Fieldston. Home to the elegant, historic and beautiful mansions that none of us plebs will ever have the chance to live in.

Yep, that's a Castle.

Recently, a handful of Fieldston's super-houses that were put up for sale/rent made city-wide and even national news (Like the one that rents for $20,000 a month one block away). This is another one of those stories.

Here's a Wall Street Journal article about a house that was modeled to look like a Castle from Croatia.

Do yourself a favor and look through the slideshow. This house looks like the fantasy of every 5-year-old child who wishes he was a knight in shining armor or she was the princess who needed rescuing.

The article says the owners, Alec Diacou and Suzi Arensberg, bought the house in 2004 for $1.8 million, then put in $1.5 million in renovations over 2 1/2 years, and are now selling it for $2.995 million.
