and feel it every day."
Lushly landscaped, the house draws its
considerable curb appeal from a picturesque
mix of prominent arches, stately columns and
intricate wrought iron detail accenting a façade
of smooth plaster and textured stone with a
classic tile roof. Continuing this Italian motif,
elegant stone steps introduce a dramatic entrance
with stately double front doors that give way to
an interior of rich woods and extravagant stone
with soaring architectural ceilings, romantic
archways and numerous fireplaces. Large west-
facing windows, meanwhile, fill every level with
luminous natural light.
Past the romantic entry, a vaulted arched
hallway fixed with fine glass French doors leads
to the glamorous rotunda featuring a curvaceous
staircase and, just above, a lofty hand-painted
ceiling in the style of a Florentine palace. Of the
three beautiful bedroom suites on this floor, the
fireplaced primary suite is monumental, with a
balcony, sitting area, and large walk-in closet.
Swathed in stone, the primary bath features an
oversized tub, separate standalone shower, and
dual sinks.
Upper level is a grand open space that flows
with ease from family room, to kitchen, to dining
room, to living room, to fabulous ocean-view
outdoor deck with fireplace for the indoor/
outdoor living ideal. Poised as a natural
gathering spot, the kitchen is a showcase with
a substantial kitchen island and skylight above
that showers the space with illumination,
highlighting rich dark woods, gleaming granite
countertops, premium appliances, ample
cabinetry, and a pantry. The adjacent family
room offers access to another balcony with stairs
to the rooftop deck—a hidden retreat with a
stupendous view.
The beautifully tiered backyard is a haven for
entertaining with an escapist quality. Ringed in
flourishing greenery, offering both tranquility
and privacy, this Tuscan fantasy comes to life
with a waterfall and in-ground spa with multiple
jets that converts to a fabulous water feature.
Along with a wine cellar, home theater, laundry
room, mudroom, and guest bedroom, plus an
elevator and a 4-car garage, 804 N. Maria is more
than a property—it's the total package.
"Most homes are just a collection of boxes with
a roof," Rime says. "This one is an architectural
museum piece."
