So, if you are one who appreciates all of the amenities offered at this grand property and respects the integrity of the craftmanship, resources, labor and research that curated to recreate the appearance of centuries old, Medieval, old world European influenced architecture and culture, then this glorious home is for you! Enter "Albero del Segnale" upon the driveway built of centuries old repurposed cobblestones that came to this country from Europe as ballasts on sailing ships and were then used to pave city streets. Pass through the iron gates, the double stone entrance pillars capped with custom made lanterns from Italy and along the driveway lined with antique streetlamps. Greeted by the front landing made of hand-hewn antique limestone pavers from Italy and twin Corinthian limestone columns also custom made in Italy. The front doors, supported by gold-plated, hand-chiseled hinges custom made in France, are a spectacular classic Italian design featuring iron grillwork in the glass transoms and a working "man door," or a door within a door whose tradition dates to Medieval times. The grand foyer drenched with natural light from 2 story windows has welcomed many renown performers and pianists as the open flowing floorplan offers the perfect venue for performances, not to mention the acoustics are fantastic. Every room in this grand, glorious home is abundant with natural light as every angle of each room has magnificent windows connecting the pastural rolling outside views with the interior. Centuries-old hand-molded antique terra cotta floors, in which imprints of the artisan's fingers and hands as well as occasional animal footprints are forever defined as they were imprinted before the tiles dried and were fired. Solid iron balusters and railings custom for this home were hand forged in Italy.The flooring in the kitchen and family room is solid white oak, custom-stained using only ammonia fumes-an Old-World technique discovered in England as a result of decades of exposure of white oak barn wood to ammonia from horse urine. Solid wood, butternut, black walnut, cherry, reclaimed barn wood from historic barns and monasteries add to the charm and sophistication.Elements of old have been tastefully replicated with all of the modern amenities and comforts. Many antiques and artifacts from various countries have been integrated in the construction of this spectacular home.Every detail has been thoughtfully constructed.Comforts of modern day living abound the Old World charm.
