Home of the Week: Rocker’s retreat on Lake Sherwood offers a taste of the Old World

Picture windows and terrace balconies frame passing kayaks and pontoon boats at this villa-style home, a Lake Sherwood retreat enjoyed by singer-songwriter Tom Petty.

Called Casa Della Madonna, the Old World residence was built in 1931 and incorporates fieldstone locally sourced from the area. A later renovation saw the addition of the master retreat, which boasts a dry sauna, a soaking tub and a balcony overlooking the water.
