Renovated European Chateau.  No need to travel to experience living in this fully renovated replica of a 16th century European castle complete with 30" thick walls of imported stone, built in the mid-1920s for an Italian shipbuilder to remind him of home. It has a distinctive round turret with a top floor eagle's nest Cathedral ceiling (which makes it the bedroom to be fought over). There is a beamed living room with a large stone fireplace adjoining a handsome library/playroom.
