A private ornamental iron electric gate opens to a meandering drive beneath mature live oaks and Spanish moss.

Inside, the Grand Reception Hall and Foyer feature a vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, exposed beams, crystal chandelier and wall of windows. Villa Tranquilla's interior is richly individual, with substantial stained millwork, paneled corridors, layered crown molding, fluted casings, custom built-ins, wrought-iron details, textured walls, hand-painted woodwork, patterned wallpapers and antique, artisan and sculptural lighting. Principal gathering spaces include a large Great Room with wood-burning fireplace, granite surround, illuminated custom cabinetry and expansive picture windows overlooking the grounds. The adjoining Parlor connects the home's entertaining spaces, while Formal Banquet Dining and a Billiard/Flex Room provide additional space for gathering and entertaining. The Estate Support Wing includes the functional kitchen, butler's pantry/pantry, utility/laundry room and mudroom/back foyer, providing extensive cabinetry, storage and workspace. The Owner's Private Wing includes the bedroom, ensuite bath, private sitting area, dedicated office, walk-in closet, dressing and boudoir spaces and extensive built-in wardrobe cabinetry. Three additional guest accommodations offer exterior access, porch connections and access to two guest baths.
