Italianate Villa 21st Century Style

The brand new Victorian, built to look like a Post-Civil war 1860 Italianate Villa, has stunning water views and great architectural detailing. The owners wanted to combine both historic and contemporary in the color scheme.  The body color was chosen from an 1860's paint catalogue and matched to a modern paint company's fan deck.  The trim is also from the Victorian era and closely resembles the color of sand.  Trim colors are all mid 19th century in origin, but the overall look of the house is modern and light.

The main entryway, tower and two-story bay are the focal points of the design as they face the traffic that approaches the home situaated at the end of a street.
