The house experiences so much paranormal activity, it's been investigated by TV shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventure, My Ghost Story, and 10 Most Haunted Places in New England.

The entire cast from every season of <b>America's Top Model</b> could fit into the NYC duplex <a class="sugar-inline-link" href="http://www.popsugar.com/Tyra-Banks" target="_blank" title="Latest photos and news for Tyra Banks">Tyra Banks</a> just put on the rental market for $50,000 a month. Back in late 2008 or early 2009, Tyra <a href="http://variety.com/2015/dirt/real-estalker/tyra-banks-puts-big-ol-manhattan-duplex-for-rent-1201461428/" target="_blank">reportedly scooped up</a> four adjacent apartments in the luxe Riverhouse building in Battery Park (<a class="sugar-inline-link" href="http://www.popsugar.com/Leonardo-DiCaprio" target="_blank" title="Latest photos and news for Leonardo DiCaprio">Leonardo DiCaprio</a>
is also a resident) at a total cost of about $10 million. She then went
on to combine the units into a single, superduplex fit for her
supermodel status at around 7,000 square feet. The resulting
five-bedroom, eight-bath home is complete with every over-the-top luxury
imaginable, from a massive dressing room, private hair salon, and en
suite minibar to a separate staff kitchen and living quarters. Take a
look at all the duplex's decadent details in the following pictures. <br />

<br />
The Castello Gallenga Stuart, near the historic city of Perugia, Umbria, boasts five storeys and 20 bedrooms.<br />
<br />
In the later years of World War II, the building was used by the Germans as their command base, until Perugia was liberated by the British in June 1944. <br />

Castle for sale: Castello Gallenga Stuart, near Perugia, Umbria has been put on the market for £5million<br />
<br />
Castello Gallenga Stuart is believed to have gotten its name when it was bought by the head of the local Gallenga family, Romeo Gallenga and his English wife, Mary Montgomery Stuart, in 1872.<br />
<br />
The neo-gothic five-story building is dominated by an octagonal tower, where the stone-framed main entrance is embellished with family crests.<br />
<br />
There is a magnificent tapestry room, a study which has an amazing frescoed fireplace studded with family crests and a reception room with coffered ceilings and bow windows. <br />
<br />
Exterior steps, with marble treads, lead to the first floor of the building and carry on up to the octagonal tower, offering a 360 degree view of the surrounding area.<br />
<br />

A tree lined drive leads to the building and the fenced park, consisting of six hectares of lawns and mature woodland, wraps around it. <br />

Carla Rossi, the estate agent responsible for the property's sale and office manager at Abode SrI, said: 'This is a stunning wedding cake of a building.<br />
<br />
'It's simply crammed with decorative features: a fairytale castle ideal for anyone with a Rapunzel complex.'<br />

When photographs don't quite do the home justice</h2>

<br />
Estate
agents are known for their artistic licence when it comes to selling
homes - typically using cleverly-angled photos to maximise appearance of
space and light.</div>
But occasionally the rulebook goes out the window and potential
buyers are given brutally honest images that show a home warts and all.
Luckily for us, a hilarious blog has taken to collecting and publishing
these clangers complete with witty captions.<br />
<br />
In fact, sometimes the photos on <a data-rapid_p="1" href="http://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com/" target="_blank">Terriblerealestateagentphotos</a> are so downright bizarre that one is left wondering how anyone would ever use such horrors to sell a home...<br />

<br />On the outskirts of the village, a narrow road winds through unspoilt countryside. At the end of one of the bends is a long driveway, bordered by lime trees over one hundred years old, which leads to tall wrought gates, protecting the impressive building. There are dry moats on either side of the gates.<br /> The main courtyard is defined by a round lawn surrounded by its circular gravel driveway.<br /> Impressive outbuildings on the left-hand side are a reminder of the not too distant past when the property was virtually self-sufficient. <br /> The estate, spanning a surface area of 136 ha, 133 of which are inside the walls of the property, comprises grasslands and forest as well as 4 hectares of parklands over which looks the rear facade of the chateau. The parklands are planted with lime, purple beech and oak trees.<br /> It is possible to see the vestiges of what was a large vegetable garden, once the direct source of food for the residents. Within the forest, on the right-hand side, a chapel stands as if fashioned by the surrounding silence.<br /> The 116 ha of forest is crossed by two valleys spanning approx. 13 ha of farmland.<br />

The luxury development (whose <a href="http://15renwick.com/">logo</a> is <a href="http://www.thedistillerist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Chanel-No.-5.jpg">an obvious homage to CHANEL N°5</a>) is trying what may be the lamest of all marketing angles to attract a wealthy and “creative” clientele—they’re making it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk">steampunk</a>. Their advertising is an utterly confusing photo-spread of classically influenced modern architecture inhabited by Victorian-ish “characters”—it can only be described as real estate cosplay… <br /><br />From the website: <br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Characters of 15 Renwick pay homage to the Victorian era in which the street’s namesake, James Renwick and his son, lived (1790-1895). Renwick was a pioneering author, engineer and professor at Columbia University while his son, James Jr., was one of the most celebrated architects of his generation. The Characters also embody the creative persona of today’s Hudson Square resident and the insider nature of the single-block Renwick Street. </blockquote>
Look, pining for “Olde New York” is a rite of passage no matter what year you moved here, but these people are paying an insane amount of money for a New York that never even existed! One of the developers, Eldad Blaustein joked that the ideal tenant might be a “Wall Street trader, but he’s writing songs, he’s writing poems at night.” <br /><br />Sounds about right. Who else would be so dead inside that they’d want to come home to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_action_role-playing_game">LARP</a>?<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Standing facing a 12th century fortified church, this castle is
protected by wrought iron gates and high stone walls that continue
around the back of the property, concealing its parklands and
outbuildings. <br />
Its attractive parklands are planted with lime, cedar, purple beech,
horse chestnut and some enormous rhododendron trees. They also include a
vegetable garden waiting to be revived and numerous fruit trees.<br />
Beyond the lime trees which are over 300 years old are grasslands spanning 1.96 ha.<br />

<span id="listingpropertydescription">This Chateau is located on the
mountain chain of Les Aspres at the entrance to Ceret in the Pyrenees
Orientals close to the historic town of Perpignan and the Spanish
Border. Barcelona is 150 km away and the sandy beaches of the Cote
Vermeille are only 25 km. It has superb panoramic views facing south and
is protected by the mountains from the infamous tramontane (north
winds.) The chateau itself is the showpiece of the village of Ceret
boasting: 2,500m2 of living area; beautiful English landscaped gardens,
with water features, a swimming pool: a huge conservatory (greenhouses);
chapel; lodge house (250m2) and a considerable number of outbuildings
all in a park of around 5 hectares. It is all lavishly decorated in the
style “art nouveau” Historically this chateau has close links with the
Château Valmy in Collioure and Ducup de St Paul in Perpignan as they
where all constructed for the Bardou family around the same time by the
same architect, a Dane, whose name was Vigo Dorph Petersen who was very
much in demand at the time in the Roussillon where he worked for the
rich society of the Belle Epoque. The Chateau owes its beginnings to a
baker, Jean Bardou, who went on to design fancy wrapping paper and
eventually in 1849 he invented the now world famous brand of cigarette
paper “JOB”. The Ducup family legacy are these three magnificent
chateaux built using the fortune of Pierre Bardou-Job by his family
after his death The Chateau d’Aubiry was instructed to be built by
Justin Bardou-Job the male heir and eldest son of Pierre, the work was
started in 1894 and finished in 1900. The building itself is built upon
a layer of Pyrenean marble, a material which is omni present in the
Chateau: entrance hall, stairway, balustrades, and columns, ceiling
roses and banisters all being built from the same material. The cellars
of the castle are built half underground, on top of which lies the
ground floor then two other floors and on the third floor there is
conservatory entirely decorated with painted ceramics. On the ground
floor there is an Entrance Hall, Billiard Room, Music Room, Library,
Dining Room and Scullery. All the bedrooms are located on the first and
second floors, some of which are themed, for example, there is a Chinese
room decorated in honour of Bao Dai the last emperor of Indo China. The
bathrooms are all highly appointed, all the decoration is original and
in an excellent state of repair. The fresco’s in the hall, staircase and
first floor landing were painted by the Parisian artists Gervais and
Henry Perrault (1905) There is a signed ceramic painting by Hubert Paris
(1900) in the conservatory (3rd floor) It is also worth noting the
beautiful chandeliers and stunning ceiling paintings on the main
staircase. The chapel was built later on. It is dated 1912 and the
construction is believed to have started in 1895. Both the Chapel and
the Park were equally very well thought out. There is a river that winds
around the park with metal based water reserves, a solid cement
swimming pool, with an assortment of cabins built alongside and a
Japanese bridge. Included in the 5 hectares there are also several other
annexe buildings all surrounded by a large iron fence. </span><br />
