Castle for rent. Downtown view. Moat not included.
That’s the Schwartz Castle, a German Village landmark for more than a century and an enduring subject of gossip, ghost stories and speculation.
After an expensive yearlong update — its second in the past 25 years — the castle is up for rent or sale. The condominium on the top two floors is, anyway. The bottom two floors — another 5,000 square feet — have been converted into offices.
The 5,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a penthouse view of the Columbus skyline is available to any prince or commoner who can pony up the $5,900 monthly rent or the $1.65 million asking price.
Amenities include a ballroom, a private elevator and a movie theater/media room. The unusual pad also includes antique doors, an intercom system and original mosaic-tile floors.
