Casa Opera

Villa Opera serves like such an accordion that lets you modify your lifestyle to your preferences. You can choose to entertain luxuriously and throw a glamorous Great Gatsby party in the Music Room, or you can live modestly by sharing tales and sipping wine by the fire in the quaint Tudor room.

Prepare for an entirely other universe as soon as you enter Villa Opera's old wooden front door. To reach the enormous Music Room, a neoclassical jewel with a Great Gatsby vibe and inspired by the Petit Trianon chateau in Versailles and a Newport home, take the first of many twisting walkways. The music room is the biggest room on the property and measures 30 by 40 feet. Polly Stark, a brilliant muralist, painted a magnificent celestial and sunset-themed ceiling for it. It's no surprise that renowned opera singers and the Youth Orchestra Symphony have performed on the stage given the room's exceptional acoustics, huge fireplace, and space for up to 100 people.

The principal residence's wood-paneled Tudor living room with a comfortable fireplace, large master bedroom with his and her closets, and ensuite bathroom are just a few of the interior design and architecture highlights. A beautiful breakfast space leads out to a tranquil Spanish loggia, which is ideal for those leisurely morning meals. The home also has a video room, a library with wood paneling, and more guest bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and distinctive decor.

Having fun entertaining visitors in the dining room. The south wall features a big fireplace and a rosette window similar to those found in well-known French churches, while the north side features a reproduction of the cantera frieze from a Roman temple dedicated to Mars.
