“The overall design for the project was to keep the original architecture and antiqueness, and at the same time, bring the new comforts and luxuries of a modern home - high ceilings, large bathrooms, bigger rooms, etc.,” said Eric Schigiel of Opustone Granite & Marble Distributors in South Florida, the stone supplier for the project. “We needed to make sure that the style had Old World charm and would keep up with all new home construction.”
The 16,000-square-foot residence, which sprawls over 42,750 square feet of land with a waterfront view, consists of seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a billiard room, a music room, a breakfast room and a pool area with a gazebo. A variety of stone was employed throughout these interior and exterior spaces - providing a refined yet warm atmosphere.
