A Scottish couple is selling their .9 million medieval castle after 9 years. They say isn’t haunted, but ‘benevolent energies’ live there.

A couple bought a Scottish castle nine years ago and turned it into their home and a wedding venue.
Now, Amanda Barnes and her husband have listed the medieval property for $3.9 million.
Myres Castle is home to 500 years of history, but to Barnes’ disappointment, no ghosts.

Couples therapist Amanda Barge and her husband Henry moved to Myres Castle in Scotland just before Christmas nine years ago.

Prewar With Marble Coat in Brooklyn Heights Brownstone Asks 9K

A tidy one-bedroom on the penultimate story of a Brooklyn Heights brownstone mixes original details with fun updates, including a minimalist kitchen with white cupboards and a blue counter. It’s located at 21 Monroe Place, an eight-unit co-op in an imposing five-story walkup likely built sometime around the 1870s.

Originally a single-family house of grand proportions, the 25-foot-wide building lost its stoop and distinctive ornament sometime after its early 20th century tax photo was taken. That image shows the house in full Neo-Grec splendor, with stoop intact, mansard roof, pronounced strappy cornice, columns, pediments and dormers as well as robust

“We were lucky for 16 years to have wonderful weather,” said Liz Koch, co-producer and vice president of the BBF. “But Sunday, we just had to pivot.”

These San Francisco homes sold for under M in September

San Francisco is not the easiest place to become a homeowner. Despite a recent housing market slowdown that caused local home prices to drop, houses in the city are still notoriously expensive.
