Closely emulating a European palace this abode perfectly houses the residents’ unique collection of Renaissance art, exhibiting heavy gilded frames and fine hand-crafted French furniture. The gilded frames complement the gilded furniture and the balustrading within, further contributing to the unique Euro-centric style of the home.

Everything about this home is fit for a king, from the living spaces and the intimate bedrooms and bathrooms, to the jovial kitchen and entertainment areas. The bathrooms – in particular the main bathroom – are as equally intriguing as the rest of the interior living areas, boasting an opulent ambience.

This home also reflects a blend with a contemporary style, evident in the surrounds and furnishings within. Adding to the contemporary nature is the fully furnished gym equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.

The exterior displays grandiose proportions with pillars making the entrance an unforgettable visual feast – imposing large, vertical windows ensure that the entryway is filled with a plethora of natural lighting enhancing the exquisite appearance of the double volume sweeping staircase.

Leaving some final advice and words of wisdom for future home owners, the residents reiterate the importance of planning before the building commences: “Budget carefully and generously because the nice things are always more expensive than what you budgeted for. Become personally involved in your project and don’t just leave it to others”.
