Built in 1989 by master builder Patrick Cullinane the main house is reminiscent of a manor home from Williamsburg. A complete renovation and large addition in the early 2000s transformed the home in an Italian villa style with an additional garage other rooms and even a grotto. Each room is unique with numerous custom fixtures, painted and wallpapered murals that transport you back to Rome in the 1800s.
