Charming door color too. Such a perfect match for the exterior trim.

I can't wait to see the topiary that will eventually be planted along the foundation.....

I don't know...I've seen some pretty nice homes here in the Huntington/Cold Spring Harbor/Centerport/Greenlawn area with cultured stone. My husband and I are not a big fans of unnatural materials, but that's one material we have considered using on our exterior.




I can't say I've ever seen a home made with "fucco".

I think Fucco is primarily concentrated on the South Shore and Queens.
However there are a few Greco-Roman estates scattered across the North Shore.

In your area , if you look hard ...you might spot such a Mediterranean gem in Huntington Harbor.

Just look for the Lions at the end of the driveway.

Badabing!
