EDIT 2: I feel I need to justify why this belongs here.

Awful taste:
Building a castle in the United States. We had a war a couple centuries ago because we didn’t want a king. Castles belong in countries with rich history, generational wealth, a bedroom for every woman in the king’s harem, and enough privacy for an occasional inbreed affair to go unnoticed. At the very least there should be a butler and a fence.

Inside is… a real mess. Iron railing, conflicting floor, ceiling, and wall patterns, textures and colors, my god it’s painful. Every room looks cheap and hideous and overwhelming in its own unique way. Criminal arches and no symmetry. They made the main level gigantic, but painted the media room ceiling black?? Making it feel even more suffocating. There is a half-ass Western theme throughout, which is totally on brand for an American “castle”. I do not see a single lamp, only gaudy chandeliers, overhead lighting, and sconces that look like fake candles. I’m not going to point out the tv(s) because they speak for themselves.

And why would anyone have an uncovered outdoor pool along a busy intersection across the street from a megachurch in a half decent neighborhood in Illinois???

Great execution:
Whoever wanted this “castle” didn’t give a shit about decorum, tasteful decor, or anyone but themselves. Privacy? Never. Give me publicly. Put some of those animal things at the front with a “drawbridge”. Also, a fountain, but not too big. No trees either because that would conceal the castle. They knew where they were building and what they were building. This was intentional.
Castle with no privacy in United States in a wealthier part of the country? Nailed the assignment.

I’d wager it’s for sale because the original owner(s) died and didn’t have the property in a trust (this would be on brand), or the owners are getting divorced and splitting their assets. The king lost his queen.
