3 bedrooms | 3 baths | 1,920 square feet
Built in 1890
Since it’s Black Friday, it seems like the perfect time to post this insane Victorian called the Castle House with a black exterior and dark interior that stays gloomy even on the sunniest of days. You definitely won’t find this parquet patterned hardwood on the floors, walls, and ceilings of 2020’s homes. And I can just imagine a bookshelf leading to a hidden secret room with who knows what lurking inside.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“The Castle House, built in 1890 is a Keene village landmark. This prominent 3 story Victorian has been meticulously restored in conjunction with the Historic Society. The woodworking, detail & craftsmanship is truly a work of art. Plaster murals grace the dining room, period staircases, coffered wood wall & ceilings, parquet patterned hardwood floors. New roof, mechanical systems are all recent to include new electric, plumbing, baths, furnace, septic & stainless appliances. With scenic Gulf brook in the backyard. This house is also an ideal space for commercial endeavors. It is zoned for commercial & residential use by the town. In the 60’s and 70’s it was the home of Skyline Outfitters, a mountaineering store, later it became a boutique craft beer & gift shop. It is currently the headquarters of a contracting firm and a successful vacation rental property.”
