Everyone Stops to Take a Picture. There are homes you walk past—and then there are homes that make you stop. Just one house from the beach in the heart of downtown Naples, this exceptional residence has become one of those unmistakable properties that catches the eye of nearly everyone who passes. People stop, admire it, and more often than not, take a picture. Inspired by the owners’ travels throughout the Mediterranean, the architecture is romantic, distinctive and beautifully detailed. At first glance, stately wrought-iron gates crowned with a pineapple finial welcome you to the property. Beyond them, twin limestone staircases gracefully sweep from either side toward the grand front entrance, creating an unforgettable sense of arrival. Look closer and the details become even more captivating: Juliet-style wrought-iron flower boxes, graceful fanlight transoms, open-air terraces, limestone accents and architectural elements reminiscent of a European villa. Then the grand front door opens to a dramatic foyer soaring 24 feet above—revealing that the magnificence of the exterior is only the beginning. It is a first impression you simply don’t forget. No wonder everyone stops to take a picture.
