“It’s all exceptionally low maintenance, from the home’s old-world stucco exterior finish, requiring no paint, to its slate roof and all-mahogany garage doors. Even its abundant outdoor living spaces are floored with 500-year-old limestone planks from Malta thick with petrified seashells and topped with barrel or groin ceilings of Charleston brick, all free of wood framing.”
