The photos of this Battle Creek castle are breathtaking.  Take a peek inside.

This house has more than just good bones, it has 1-foot thick walls.  This piece of Southwest Michigan eye candy was built in 1906 for Dentist John Penniman.  Wikipedia lists a familiar last name as the builder,  Ruel Seeley.  Possible relation to Mickey Seeley of the local card dealerships?

Surprisingly, this beautiful piece of well-built history was sold for only $160,000 in June of 2022.  The 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom Calhoun County home was put on the National Register of Historic Places back in 2001 according to Lost in Michigan,

The house with its octagon towers took almost 6 years to build. The interior is trimmed with ornately carved quarter-sawn oak including the garderobe ( a fancy term for a privy or latrine in a castle ). The castle has seventeen rooms, four of which are bedrooms.
