\n\tPerched on Caesarea\u2019s prime first-row homes with sweeping sea views from the primary suite and rooftop terrace, the neo-Baroque-meets-Rococo megamansion was completed in 2015. The estate was designed by Citterio F.lli, with Cristiano Mattia Ferme as the chief architect, in collaboration with Yuri Puchinsky, with landscape design by Mor Avidan. The residence showcases exquisite marble, onyx, lapis lazuli, tiger\u2019s eye, and malachite stonework, accented with 14-karat gold-leaf detailing and silk trim. Fluted Corinthian columns, massive\u00a0chandeliers, intricately inlaid wood and stone floors, ceiling murals, and garden-themed stained glass add to its sumptuous character.<\/p>\n
