  • EXCLUSIVE: This unique German castle can now be yours but it is not in the snowcapped mountains of Bavaria, instead, it sits on the golden coast of Florida. The stunning property was custom made by the Cramer family who owns the largest independent brewery in Germany. Dubbed the "Warsteiner Castle", after the name of the brewing company, it was built in 2004 in Melbourne Beach, Florida. The incredible home features five bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths and includes an in-law suite, a guest suite, a waterfall pool and a four-car garage. The 7,840 square-foot home is also being sold fully furnished. Built for entertaining with a media room and home theater, it also has spectacular views from everywhere in the home including a rooftop deck for star gazing and watching the rockets launch from Cape Canaveral. The "castle" stands as the landmark for the Aquarina Golf and Tennis Country Club, a gated golf community on the barrier island, which the Warsteiner company helped develop. The property also features unique German styling and interior design, made especially for the Cramer family. It even has a bar which was made from an imported metal barrel once used to brew the family's famous beer. The Warsteiner Brewing Company sold the property in 2015 to an American family who kept the property identical to the original owners. The current owners are now hoping to offload the home to someone who will enjoy its Germanic architecture. Warsteiner Brewery was founded in 1753 and is now one of the largest private breweries in Germany. The company is owned by Eva-Catharina Cramer after she inherited the family business. The property is being listed by realtor Dave Settgast. 17 Jan 2019 Pictured: Warsteiner Castle. Photo credit: Dave Settgast / MEGA TheMegaAgency.com +1 888 505 6342

  • A couple in the US have uncovered a beautiful hidden Roman-esque bath under the floor of their home office.<br />
<br />
Mark Ronsman, 39, and his wife Jenny, also 39, bought their home almost three-and-a-half years ago and had been told there was once a hot tub in one of the rooms.<br />
<br />
"The elderly woman who sold us the house told us it was there," Mark Ronsman told Insider.<br />
<br />
"She had gotten older and stopped using it on any kind of regular basis, so she got much more use out of it as an office."<br />
<br />
The couple wasted no time in pulling up the cover and unearthing the hot tub, but it's only been during the recent lockdown that they've had the extra time on their hands to set about getting it up and running.<br />
<br />
"It was impossible to imagine what it would look like," he added.<br />
<br />
"I was very excited to see how bad or good it might be."<br />
<br />
Mark had to be careful as he pulled up the wood covering that sat on the tub.<br />
<br />
"I didn't want to damage the tub while tearing apart this platform in there," he said.<br />
<br />
"I tried to take out as many screws naturally as I could, but some things needed to be cut apart."<br />
<br />
"I started by just using a hole saw so I could make a few holes and peek through."<br />
<br />
"After I understood how it was all put together, I ended up just cutting out a big square in the middle so I could get at it," he said of the process.<br />
<br />
The larger square allowed him to see more of the tub.<br />
<br />
A blue, floral tile pattern started to become visible, which Mark wasn't expecting.<br />
<br />
"We were truly shocked and overjoyed that something so beautiful was in our house," Mark continued.<br />
<br />
"The tile was just beautiful! I was also truly grateful to discover the previous owners took such great care that what they did could be reversed."<br />
<br />
"We never expected it to be so big and deep," he added.<br />
<br />
Mark and Jenny have spent some time during lockdown clearing up the tub and fixing some minor repairs but sadly the tub still isn't functional yet, as the couple discovered they need to replace one of the water pumps after t

  • A couple in the US have uncovered a beautiful hidden Roman-esque bath under the floor of their home office.<br />
<br />
Mark Ronsman, 39, and his wife Jenny, also 39, bought their home almost three-and-a-half years ago and had been told there was once a hot tub in one of the rooms.<br />
<br />
"The elderly woman who sold us the house told us it was there," Mark Ronsman told Insider.<br />
<br />
"She had gotten older and stopped using it on any kind of regular basis, so she got much more use out of it as an office."<br />
<br />
The couple wasted no time in pulling up the cover and unearthing the hot tub, but it's only been during the recent lockdown that they've had the extra time on their hands to set about getting it up and running.<br />
<br />
"It was impossible to imagine what it would look like," he added.<br />
<br />
"I was very excited to see how bad or good it might be."<br />
<br />
Mark had to be careful as he pulled up the wood covering that sat on the tub.<br />
<br />
"I didn't want to damage the tub while tearing apart this platform in there," he said.<br />
<br />
"I tried to take out as many screws naturally as I could, but some things needed to be cut apart."<br />
<br />
"I started by just using a hole saw so I could make a few holes and peek through."<br />
<br />
"After I understood how it was all put together, I ended up just cutting out a big square in the middle so I could get at it," he said of the process.<br />
<br />
The larger square allowed him to see more of the tub.<br />
<br />
A blue, floral tile pattern started to become visible, which Mark wasn't expecting.<br />
<br />
"We were truly shocked and overjoyed that something so beautiful was in our house," Mark continued.<br />
<br />
"The tile was just beautiful! I was also truly grateful to discover the previous owners took such great care that what they did could be reversed."<br />
<br />
"We never expected it to be so big and deep," he added.<br />
<br />
Mark and Jenny have spent some time during lockdown clearing up the tub and fixing some minor repairs but sadly the tub still isn't functional yet, as the couple discovered they need to replace one of the water pumps after t

  • A couple in the US have uncovered a beautiful hidden Roman-esque bath under the floor of their home office.<br />
<br />
Mark Ronsman, 39, and his wife Jenny, also 39, bought their home almost three-and-a-half years ago and had been told there was once a hot tub in one of the rooms.<br />
<br />
"The elderly woman who sold us the house told us it was there," Mark Ronsman told Insider.<br />

"She had gotten older and stopped using it on any kind of regular basis, so she got much more use out of it as an office."<br />

  • EXCLUSIVE: A SUPERMUM with 16 children has revealed: “Our Covid-19 quarantine has been tough.” Doris Phillips, 38, and her disabled veteran husband William, 42, have been hailed as modern-day miracle workers after raising their giant brood on a shoestring budget. But with coronavirus ravaging communities, the family have been holed up together around-the-clock and unable to leave their four bedroom home which doesn’t even have a yard or garden. The only time tireless Doris has left their home in Indianapolis, Indiana is to embark on $1,000 a time trips to Costco where she stocks up on essentials for their children Jason, 19, Nicole, 18, Sophia, 6, Zander, 13, Sage, 12, Lance, 11, Kristella, 10, Giscella,9, Liezella, 6, Adeiric, 7, William, 7, Asreella, 5, Adderin, 4, Aleric, 3, Viella, 1, and Abella, seven months. “The virus has forced my family to change our routine which has at times been completely crazy,’ said Doris. “When lockdown first happened it was chaos because the schools suddenly closed and we were trying to do home schooling. The kids are up at 7am and when they had no school to go to they were running around like wild little deers. “The only break I have is when I am wheeling two shopping carts around the supermarket and getting food for the family – and even then people are giving me funny looks because they think I am hoarding. If only they knew how many children I have.” Before quarantine Doris and William were previously spending at least 15 hours a day caring for their litter and exact military precision to master family meals, schoolwork, endless hospital visits, bath times and family outings. But that routine ended in mid-March when states forced families to isolate. “They are up at 7am and if you don’t get into the bathroom earlier and brush your teeth you’ll never get in there.
