FOR SALE - 50 Dicks Castle Road (Residence #5)

     One of the two largest residences in The Castle, this baronial, twenty-six foot ceilinged space is of a kind not seen since the days when castles were more common. Approximately 6,800 SF, with 1,480 SF of mezzanine and four fireplaces, Residence #5 has over 30 windows, 6 of which are balconied and whose arches rise as high as twenty feet. The residence’s formal entrance is through a turret entresol, while five giant French doors allow flow between the 2,100 SF great room, the colonnaded courtyard and the 1,200 SF private garden patio. The 860 SF bedroom has a large fireplace, and another, truly Gargantuan fireplace is possible in this chamber. Off the great room extends a 1,360 SF space that could become anything from a banquet room to a lap pool to an artist’s studio.

     Indeed, the ceiling heights, wall space and advanced security system in Residence #5 make it well suited for an art or antiques collector, an archivist, or a successful working artist, architect or designer. As 760 SF of the colonnade and peristyle are exclusive to Residence #5, the owner has substantial additional outdoor space that could be transformed into a winter garden or an aviary.
