Calling all Francophiles: lakeside French Normandy estate asks $2.8M

Most castles in the U.S. are completely cheesy, to put it mildly. There’s always something vaguely Disneyland about them. However, this French Normandy-style estate built in 1923 on the shores of Lake Erie really delivers.

The James Hamilton-designed home boasts nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms spread out over 9,627 square feet. Inside, there are some rather bland modern updates, most obviously in the kitchen and in the bathroom where there is a TV installed over the bathtub.

Outside, there is another pool, lake frontage and three acres of land. It’s located at 13303 Lake Shore Boulevard, Bratenahl, Ohio.
