Sure, most people are vividly aware of castles: those regal, high structures that shelter royalty and usually have a moat or two in order to keep the bad guys at bay.

Well, you don’t have to venture into a fairy tale to feast your eyes on this particular castle-like home.

Just head over to the desert.

A residence on the real estate market in Phoenix, Arizona, for $399,900 is just as noble as any other castle — just a tad smaller.

“Welcome to your CASTLE in the desert,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “Experience the best of city living in this charming 1 bedroom loft located in the heart of Phoenix. This immaculate unit is perfect for first-time buyers or anyone looking to downsize in style. With the natural stone, wood, and metal combine to offer you a home unlike anything you’ve seen or experienced.”

The 1,050-square-foot home looks like it’s something straight out of “Game of Thrones” with all its marble, gray and black tones, throne-like seating, stained glass windows and so much more.

Other features include:

  • Walk-in spa shower

  • Chef’s kitchen

  • Tiled patio

The desert gem was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and Twitter account that finds special homes for sale around the country. P people were impressed.

“Love this! I think I’m just a sucker for the castle aesthetic,” one person said.

“This looks very cold and very hard! For a clumsy person like myself, I fear a lot of stubbed toes & bruised elbows from bumping into all that rock!” another noted.

“If I lived here I would light the entire place with candles and torches. I love it!” someone commented.

“This house looks very stabby,” one person joked.

“Honestly, I love it,” someone gushed.

“All things considering, it’s not too wild. It certainly helps to like stone: I imagine it makes it easier to keep the inside cool,” another commented.

If this was in a cooler climate... I would find this hard to resist,” one person tweeted.
