When their 4-year-old, Abby, said she wanted to live in a castle, “I made her a castle,” Ryan Gopin says. He added turrets, battlements and even a pair of small balconies where the royals can stand and wave to their subjects.
Thirteen years later, on July 26, the Gopins put the five-bedroom, 7,500-square-foot house on Saville Row in Barrington Hills up for sale. Priced at $1.9 million, the castle is listed with Robbie Morrison of Coldwell Banker Realty.
Abby Gopin, who was not available for comment, “likes it a lot,” even though she’s grown out of her princess phase, Ryan Gopin says.
The family, which includes a son as well, is moving to Florida. Gopin, a general contractor, recently sold his heating and air conditioning business here and is opening a similar one in the Sunshine State.
Inside, the house is mostly more conventional, with neutral-toned formal rooms, marble countertops in the kitchen and contemporary finishes like a thin-rimmed soaking tub beside a wall of stone.
There’s also an indoor pool, where the royal family can swim out of sight of the paparazzi.
