Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry can have a TARDIS if he wants one.

Seriously the mini castle takes up virtually the entire footprint of the old plot, not just the footprint of the old building, and there were gardens because part had been set aside for Mouse’s various transactions, and paths for Harry ti shovel. The castle goes to 6 inches of the sidewalk, and we don’t know if Marcone bought land from adjacent owners, he could have done so on three sides. People don’t say no to him, and he would likely buy those buildings anyhow to obtain control of the immediate environment. There is no on-site parking.

It is three story’s with a basement and of course a sub-basement, the basement is likely to be much larger than the previous basement, we know that the basement contains the laundry room and a corridor with doors leading off from each side leading to the sub basement trap door. Most likely the Einenjaren quarters

First Floor is the Great Hall,  through a guard post and double doors taking up most of the building footprint. There is a store room on this floor. Second Floor is the gym large enough for a boxing ring and the corridor leading to the conference room. Second Floor we get no details in PT, GS or SG but is presumably the residential part of the building where the families stay.

The roof is flat and accessible providing a further space for use.

My guess is Harry would have the basement converted into an apartment, two bigger bedrooms, bigger kitchen and bathroom, retain the laundry room separate for the entire building. The remainder of the building would likely be used for Warden and Paranet business, after repair and the Great Hall when empty for 1 on 1 with the GateKeeper, Vadderung or Irwin Pounder, but not Murphy. She cheats.

Harry is likely to need staff, Paranetters probably for a building that size in such use. I kind of think Abbey would make an excellent Reception Manager, with Toto in tow. He would need housekeeping staff (the Brownies would unionise if they had to do the entire building)  say a custodian and a housekeeper.

Mira:


 Pizza ovens,  he has to include a special kitchen to accommodate the mass production of pizza for  Major-general Toot and his army.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Pizza Oven on the roof, with a barbecue for summer entertaining.

The only problem is that it might become a shrine to the Za Lord.

Grifter:
They also say in Ghost Story that people are living there, paranetters passing through, venatori, etc, etc.  There are apartments, a day care, armory, and jail (which appears to be the subbasement).

With it being used by such a large number of people, I can't see Harry just taking over sole ownership, Marcone aside.  If anything he'd move in and have a space for himself and Maggie in the basement, but I doubt he'd evict anyone.

Grifter:
Another thought: Butcher has previously been noted as liking the old Gargoyles cartoon.  In it, a castle was relocated from the old world to New York and rebuilt as it was. Now we've seen Marcone do the same, and his castle even has Gargoyles.

So at what point does someone dub it with the nickname Castle Wyvern?
