I saw some ‘before’ photos of this on Instagram and OMGGGGG Blanc Marine really did give this home a new life. It was stuck in the 90s with features that really needed to stay in the past and be forgotten. This home is now elegant and relevant. Photos: Annie Fafard.

This Neo-Gothic castle in Tuscany for sale is located on the edge of a village near the historic Vallombrosa Abbey, approximately one hour from Florence. The castle-style mansion villa spans approximately 3,370 sqm (36,361 sqft) across multiple levels and offers up to 35 bedrooms and 35 bathrooms. Originally a private residence, the building was later adapted for use as a hotel, with additional bathrooms installed to serve guest rooms. Although abandoned in the 1970s, major restoration work has been underway since 2003. The ground floor includes large reception rooms suitable for events or restaurant use, while the upper levels are configured for accommodation. The basement comprises original cellars, a kitchen, and storage areas. Within the 3.7-hectare (9.2-acre) park, several outbuildings in ruin (approx. 750 sqm) once served as storage, laundry, and utility areas.
The architectural details in this home are INCREDIBLE! So beautifully restored too. What a gem for starting up a hotel or if you have a massive family and need a summer vacation house 🙂 For sale for €2,700,000 via Immobiliare Italiano.

This absolutely stunning 1861 Italianate brownstone in the historic Fort Greene neighbourhood of Brooklyn was renovated and modernized by Bangia Agostinho and Adrienne Totoro. The home’s history was honoured in this transformation whilst adapting it for modern living for a young family. New layouts, a rebuild of the rear extension, large-scale windows created a lighter, more spacious flow. Muted woods, natural materials and neutrals make this home soooo calming and grounded.
