Grandly designed, 17 luxurious rooms meld together in opulence and couture design.

Versace, the late fashion tycoon purchased the neoclassical building in 1995 and fully redesigned the interior with the same Italian Baroque style often referenced in his over-the-top couture including intricate Italian Marble floors, painted ceilings and walls, mosaic and Austrian parquet floors, five fireplaces, and opulent Baths. Versace’s genius and vision is revealed over the first 4 floors, each presenting the designer’s legendary taste and permeates the home. The upper two floors were redesigned in a lighter, more whimsical manner. These levels include terrazzo floorings with marble inserts, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, a Game Lounge with billiards and arcade games, and a Moroccan-style Media Room.
