Home of the Day: Seaside living with a French twist
Kayakers and Duffy boaters skimming along the Naples Canal can’t help but look twice at this French Normandy-style house on Treasure Island. Leaded stained glass, turrets and a steep roofline draw the eye to the storybook home.
Interior details include a stone fireplace imported from France, a chef’s kitchen and custom aquarium. A private 50-foot boat dock sits adjacent to the 1929 home. How do you say “best of both worlds” in French?
