The columns, square beams and the elegant arches of concrete are all 16”x16” deep and were also poured in place. The design and engineered drawings illustrate better than any words to describe the castle, fortress-like construction of the home.

The hotel-sized kitchen is one entire wing of the Villa with this central preparation area and in addition a smaller dinning area with ocean views and a large walk in butlers pantry.

The design of the cabinetry is referred to as marquetry, built and created by an Italian artist in Italy. The large Wolfe stainless steel range is surrounding by yards of quartz counter tops.

Every surface of the kitchen, the cabinets, appliances, windows and window frames, doors, plumbing fixtures, flooring and more have recently undergone a 2-year renovation and refurbishing; looks and feels like new.

A future stable or an automobile car collectors carriage house following the style of the ocean facing side of the home would be beyond a perfect compliment and addition to Villa Paolina.
