This home for sale in Dover, New Hampshire, is a lot of things, including but not limited to a bunker, a water tank, and a circular mini Gothic mansion. Built in 1865, the uncommon little brick structure is guarded by gargoyles. The house has several secret rooms, and if they don’t prove to be secluded enough, there’s a cupola room perched on top of the interior radial beams. While the suit of armor and standing skeleton in the living room won’t be included in the sale, there are plenty of Gothic details that will be. For quiet evenings, there’s the option to sit by one of multiple fireplaces or read a novel in the library. But for more debaucherous ones, the basement boasts a “nightclub-sized dungeon bar.”
