Here's a chance to own your bit of fairy tale in the state's capital city.

The Charles LaDow House is for sale. This Romanesque style castle is available for $750,000.

Designed by Ernest Hoffman, the home was built in 1891 for Charles LaDow, an inventor of agricultural machinery.

Additional features

This property can be a unique office, apartment building, or private home. Constructed with a stone exterior, the interiors include rounded door closets, carved mantlepieces with hidden doors, and geometric-patterned wooden floors in each room.

Rumor has it that the castle is haunted.

In his book "Albany Architecture: A Guide to the City," Matthew Bender writes that LaDow's son died from asphyxiation soon after moving into the castle due to a faulty gas fixture. LaDow lived in the home for 11 years before he went bankrupt and left his family broke. He died while waiting for a streetcar on Central Avenue.
