Designed and built by a
respected architect inspired on award-winning
international homes, this 3+ level home stands
out from all others. Its 9 bedrooms and 9
bathrooms are set on three floors and a basement
floor level, taken from a gracefully sloping
angle in the land that allowed a Spanish patio
with green lawns.
An
elegant gazebo with Doric columns stands tall
before the entrance, which shows antique styled,
hand forged iron railings leading up to a pair
of rustic colonial-era style oak doors with
original bronze lion head door knockers,
from an XVIII century monastery in Spain. Each
window of the house has a rustic wood beam on
its top, and the interior stair railings are
beautifully hand worked.
A
small foyer shows colonial styled wood and
leather furniture, and after it a living room
displays a set of sofas and table built from
oxen yokes taken from old sugar mills in the DR,
uniquely built for this house. A spacious living
room gives way to the kitchen, also in vintage
style.
The second level of the house is still on the
works, a seemingly endless project to make this
Villa Española a cover for the
Architectural Digest. Wooden beams made of
original sugar cane mill weights support the
balcony roofing; and old, rustic iron spikes
from and old church in Europe add to its
colonial style.
The owner has said he will deliver the house
fully finished in 2 months and will optionally
add a swimming pool either in the Spanish patio
or in the garden area. The third level is the
room with the ocean views, for family gatherings
or a private office/den. It is the highest room
in the house, also with impressive mountain
views.
The basement floor is like a full house below
that includes a living room, kitchen, bedrooms
and laundry area. A covered terrace includes the
Spanish patio and a smaller room with a
bathroom. Bronze details on floorings and
bathrooms complement a rich set of features that
make this a true connoisseur's retreat. Getting
a walk through the entire property will reveal a
whole lot more to discover, since it is a very
richly detailed home and a true piece of fine
art.
