From the massive spread of concrete block structure from the foundation to the roof line, this home will withstand the tests of Mother Nature. The exterior walls feature an additional 10 to 12-inch layer of limestone quarried in the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani and container shipped from Italy. The roof is a Ludowici Italian authentic cap and pan terra cotta roof tile with a 75-year warranty, and the hurricane-impact windows and doors are a combination of Tischler und Sohn and Hope’s Windows, the world’s pre-eminent manufacturers of custom windows and doors. 

This home encompasses over 12,000 square feet of luxury living with seven bedrooms, eight full baths, three half baths, a library, two offices, an elevator, a wine cellar, a gym, and a four-plus-car garage. Features of this home include soaring ceilings, impressive Douglas fir beam and plank work, solid mahogany doors throughout, and, extending from the lower-level entrance to the top floor, a beautiful honey-colored, pink veined Corton limestone spiral staircase, a stone steeped in French history emanating from the Burgundy region.
