An Italian-Inspired Home with a Dose of Coastal Comfort

The study is enhanced with richly stained wood paneling and built-in bookcases. A comfortable seating arrangement is situated in front of tall windows and French doors, creating a gracious gathering spot or a quiet retreat.

Clearly rooted in classical traditions, the 5,800-square-foot house defers to the principles of Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, while the grand portico nods to London’s St. Paul’s Church at Covent Garden designed by Inigo Jones in 1631. True to form, the home reveals itself in stages, starting with a brick-lined drive that leads to the arrival forecourt. A barrel-tile roof, cast-stone windows, tall arched doorway, timber eaves, and large planters enhance the front elevation’s unerring interpretation of timeless traditions. From there, the Tuscan-ordered entry portico welcomes guests into the gracious interiors.
