Wow! House: Want to Buy a Half-Finished Castle?

ARLINGTON, IL -- Do you ever dream of getting away? How about a house that takes you away from the stresses of the big city and lets you enjoy country living?

This castle-like stunner could be just your style: A 11,500-square-foot elegant estate an hour and a half away from Chicago and just a hop, skip and a jump from beautiful Starved Rock State Park.

The only catch? It's not quite finished. The house is framed out only and will be sold as-is. But a little work will have this five-bedroom beauty move-in ready in no time. With 12-foot ceilings and a large reception hall, formal dining room and even an "oval" office, you can live like royalty -- or maybe just like the president.
