There might be a slight problem with dampness in the basement of this four bedroom, two bathroom house. Just a slight one.

Loveliest comment, by Lisa W: It really bothers me that under “Water & Sewer” it says: Springs.
Ummm…so when you need a drink? Springs
And when you go to the bathroom? Springs
And are these pipes all connected?
And what are we bottling in our brewery?
And what is going back out into the ecosystem?
Yikes!

Ooh. Bat-Cave! I’d put the secret entrance behind the fire place.
That might be a new record for price per square foot. Over $2,000 per square foot.
Plus a handy place to hide from Sleestaks.
There was a whole article on this ‘house’ yesterday on SFGate.

The PPSF is even more astonishing if you consider that this relic is in San Francisco’s worst neighborhood. Drugs & Crime abound, and you’re only a few blocks from a toxic decommissioned navel yard. Still, the realtors got it mentioned in the Chronicle, with even better pictures…

Thank you for that link, that’s a really interesting listing.
Good lord, 8 to 10 thousand gallons of water a day??
Yeah, so what the heck do you do with that if you aren’t running a water company or a brewery? That’s a LOT of water.
But the water is good enough to drink? To bottle & sell??? (((Shudder)))
Yes, it was the location of a brewery since the 1940′s. If that isn’t your area of expertise, you could always convert it into an underground swimming pool.

Just imagine, you could hold the air-hockey table Olympics in that basement at the same time as running a nightclub.
It’s the man-cave. Put in a few big screen tv’s and yup, a ping pong table.
Where esle is the dominatrix supposed to set up?
At last, someplace where my Balrog can roam wild and free, without wizards and filthy hobbitses showing up.
ROFL. FTW.
This falls into the “it’s awesome! WANT!” category. sure, totally impractical, but fun.
Every castle needs a dungeon. I think it’s pretty awesome!
Hey at least you get the rights to the name “Albion Castle Brewery” and water rights for your illegal bootlegging business -its always good to plan for retirement =))
Personally I’d just chuck the kids down there. If the water was good enough to bottle and drink it must still be safe for swimming… right?
Dear lord, I thought this was a picture of the underground cavern from The Goonies.
I could be wrong on this, so don’t quote me, but…
I think it may be CRIMINAL to post a real damn stone castle for sale, and only include five photos.
I know! What, they couldn’t come up with anything interesting to photograph in an entire frikkin’ castle? Not just a castle, but a combination castle / brewery?
The SF Chronicle link in one of the posts above has more pictures, including all the bedrooms and a bath. I agree that the realtors are ridiculous not to put more pictures up.
Speaking of the bath, I’ve heard of people sitting on their “throne”, but never seen one that actually LOOKED like a throne. Now I have.
Oooh, that’s not a “throne room” throne. That’s the kind of seat they used to have over a chamberpot.
That the tunnel to the Royal Canadian Insane Asylum, you Hoser!
So, 10,000 gallons of water a day flow through the completely dry (looking) basement “sewer”….o-kaaaay
fungus amungus
you could pick fresh mushrooms for dinner every night
i don’t care. i want it. i want to live there. can someone loan me 2.5 mil?
Sure – but all I’ve got on me is a 5 million dollar bill. Can you give me change?
“Bedroom Information
* # of Bedrooms: 4
* 2 Bedrooms on Upper Level
* 4 Bedrooms on Upper Level”
Um., okay.
exactly. 4+2=4. duh
Wow. How cool would it be to have your own cave??
It really bothers me that under “Water & Sewer” it says: Springs.
Ummm…so when you need a drink? Springs
And when you go to the bathroom? Springs
And are these pipes all connected?
And what are we bottling in our brewery?
And what is going back out into the ecosystem?
Yikes!
And check out the “Royal Throne”:

wow, a castle with its own crypt. i love it….
This tickled me so much I had to drive by it today. Yep, it’s a castle, right in the the middle of an industrial wasteland, surrounded by housing projects.
Somebody might turn it back into a brewery. Given the location, though, they’re unlikely to want to live there. You’d need an electric fence and guards.
Of course you need an electric fence and guards! That’s level 1. Beyond that are the various locked doors, identical henchmen, and randomly placed crates with ammo and first aid kits inside. Every aspiring Boss Monster knows that!
Ohhhhhh add me to the ones who love this place. I’d be all ready for TEOTWAWKI…never have to worry about having enough water & your own ready made place for a bomb shelter.
I think I’d be able to host an awesome party there, too
