Acclaimed lighting expert John Christianson spent hundreds of hours meticulously placing complementary accent lighting throughout the entire estate’s to achieve numerous layers of shadowing and prominence to the home’s arches, columns and pillars. With 3’X2′ limestone floors throughout most of the home, each room has a special sense of stye and wonder including a lounge inspired by the world famous Hotel Costes, FLorence’s Medici Palace, George V and Pershing Hall. The bar’s cabinetry was hand carved from Venetian glass and assembled on site. The quartzite bar is truly unique featuring hundreds of opaque gems which run throughout the natural veins of the backlit bar top. Each of the 3 chandeliers were custom built for a European Church using only the highest quality lead crystal. Outside the stately dining room is a 250 year old fountain that was reclaimed from a Tuscan Palazzo.
