#6394. Two-tier mansion: contrasting facade with brick foundation and white upper level in Italian style

The mansion presented is an exquisite example of Italian Renaissance revival with Victorian architectural elements. The two-story building demonstrates a clear division between the lower and upper volumes, emphasized by contrasting materials: the lower section is built with red brick, while the upper floor is clad in white wooden panels.

The facade features elegant symmetry and meticulous attention to detail. The large arched windows on the second floor with decorative casings, characteristic of Italian style, add particular sophistication. The upper white tier is adorned with an ornately designed cornice with decorative brackets and a classical pediment above the central section. The white color of the upper floor creates a sense of lightness and airiness, contrasting with the substantial brick foundation.

The first floor is enhanced by a wide veranda with graceful arched openings and columns supporting the projecting second floor. The architectural balance is accentuated by a delicate balustrade framing both the veranda and the small balcony on the second floor. The white central chimney harmoniously completes the composition, emphasizing the building's vertical element.

The mansion is seamlessly integrated into the landscape: surrounded by a well-maintained garden with low hedges and tall trees that create a natural frame for the architectural structure. The decorative lantern visible in the foreground on the right complements the historic atmosphere and highlights the attention to detail in the design of not only the building but also the surrounding grounds.
