Northville’s Impressive ‘Castello Montebello’ Mansion Goes Up for Auction
In Northville, a stunning 16,000-square-foot European-style mansion known as “Castello Montebello” is set to hit the auction block. The mansion, built in 2000, is located near downtown and boasts grandeur and luxury in every corner.
Originally listed for a whopping $14.5 million in 2015, the mansion’s price has since been reduced to $4.9 million. However, on Monday, Aug. 26, it will be auctioned with a starting bid of just $1.5 million.
“The homeowner really wants to sell,” said a representative from the auction house managing the sale. “They are ready for a new family to come and make it theirs.”
Located at 590 Dubuar Street – west of Center Street between Main Street and Eight Mile – the mansion is perched at what is said to be the highest point in Wayne and Washtenaw counties. It features seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two half baths. The estate also includes a guardhouse, a striking four-story free-floating staircase, a great room with towering ceilings, an elegant owner’s suite, a paneled library, heated three-car and four-car garages, and an elevator.
But that’s not all. The lower level is designed for ultimate entertainment, featuring a stylish wet bar with cozy booth-style seating, a game room, an exercise room, and a wine cellar. The highlight is a 13-seat theater, modeled after New York City’s iconic Paramount Theater.
“This estate offers a unique chance for anyone looking for luxury and exclusivity,” the auction house representative added. “The house has been superbly maintained over its 24 years and is in nearly perfect condition.”
The auction will be conducted by an online auction platform, in partnership with a local realty firm that specializes in high-end properties. “We’re bringing this extraordinary home to a world audience,” said a spokesperson for the realty firm.
The auction kicks off online at 9 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 26. Interested buyers can preview the property on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23-24, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Sunday, Aug. 25 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more details and to register for bidding, visit the auction website.
