Creatively designed, quality constructed, and exquistely finished, this beautiful custom home is reminiscent of an Italian villa. The circular drive pavers are custom patterned, the exterior smooth stucco finish is hand stained, and the distressed concrete stone pillars and window trim all combine to create an aged, old world appearance. Custom 11 foot cedar double front doors with beveled glass lead into the inside. Upscale lighting include Murano glass sconces in the guest bath, iron and tortoise shell finish lighting in the master bath, iron and crystal chandeliers in the powder room and breakfast area, pendant lights over the kitchen island, and a whimsical champagne bubble light in the wine room.
