Grand staircases are lit by ornate chandeliers. There are provocative art and multiple gourmet kitchens with high-end appliances. King Arthur would have felt at home at the round dining room table or in the massive master bedroom. The front door threshold has its own story to tell. It used to be the main entryway at Central High School before the old building was torn down. On the lower level, a suit of armour guards a wine cellar. More than 5,000 bottles of wine can be stored in the cellar, and the temperature is always kept at a chilly 57 degrees. There is a greenhouse and a potting room. Spaces that seem ridiculous, yet make sense if you have a large garden and a lot of money. Even in the gym you are reminded that you are in a castle. Besides the stunning view from the inside, outside, there are more than 1,400-square feet of terrace space. So much limestone was needed to build the property, that the owners bought a private rock quarry.
