STAND UP AND SHOUT - What a house!



Ronnie James Dio's (RIP) house is up for sale. Of course, it's just as you'd imagine it - castle like, swords on the wall, English pub, AWESOME!


Just check out the agent's write up



Full of Grace and Old World charm this 5 BD/5BA 5,000 plus sqft English mansion was built w/custom original pieces taken from Europe. Features include 200 year old wood flrs from France, pub bar from the Kings Arms in Chiqwell Essex, England c. 1820 & custom stained antique windows from the 18th & 19th centuries. Spacious cooks kitchen w/all Viking & Meile products. Master BD w/ antique cathedral windows imported from England c. 1790, hand-painted Griffin wall paper as seen in Greystone Manor, 2 walk-in closets, hardwood flrs & master BA. Downstairs level includes a custom built music studio.





For a mere $3,333,000 it could be yours. Seems under-priced, clearly worth $3,666,000. Courtesy of Gibson International Real Estate, the agent Marko Babineau is my new realtor hero (i wonder if he has heavymetalrealtor.com registered?)





I still remember when I got the Holy Diver LP in the mail from Columbia House records. I had to hide the record afraid my parents would find it. And when a friend showed me how you could spell devil out of the Dio logo when it was upside down, I knew this was my kind of record.
