Castle on the outside — but what’s up inside? See Florida home for sale for yourself
Castles on the real estate market aren’t completely uncommon, but there’s a unique build that has sprung up for sale in Apopka, Florida — and trust us when we say, it’s like nothing anyone has ever seen before.
At least on the inside.
The four-bedroom, 3.5-plus-bathroom home — which is listed for $1.22 million — sits on Lake McCoy and has the look of a medieval castle when it comes to a tower that’s connected, but the rest of the residence has the build of your everyday house.
“Living in a castle-like home on Lake McCoy offers a unique and luxurious experience, especially with the convenience of a pull-through garage for lake access,” the listing on Realtor.com says. “You enter the home through a gorgeous metal and seeded glass door into the 33’ tall turret, setting this home apart from any others in the area.”
Photos of the 3,721-square-foot residence show elegant lighting throughout the downstairs with tile floor, carpeted rooms, wood panel and a dramatic double staircase.
Features include:
Lake views
Breakfast room
Enclosed swimming pool
Deck
New roof
High ceilings

Homeowner Mike Cooper told ClickOrlando.com that his father built the house in 1989 and that thanks to its royal exterior, folks take notice.
“Mostly, people just stop outside. During the summertime — I guess since that’s when we’re out more, you’re out there doing the yard or whatever you’re doing — people just stop and say, ‘I love your house! Can we take a picture?’” he said.
Apopka is about a 20-mile drive northwest from Orlando.
