The house's brick and limestone facade and neoclassical style was designed to mimic the historic monuments that surround it, but it was actually only built in 1994.

Inside, that becomes more apparent as the home's modern touches are obvious — there's even an elevator and temperature-controlled wine cellar.
The neoclassic style, however, still radiates throughout.

The backyard of the house carries on the main home's Neoclassical theme with dual curved staircases, large patio areas, and fountains.
Arches and columns are still prevalent, even in the backyard.
