Fans of classical Greek and Roman architecture can experience these styles in the U.S., as they are embodied in the “Temple of Wings” estate in Berkeley, California.
According to forbes.com, Billionaire Gordon Getty and his late wife, Ann, purchased the home in 1994. Originally designed by Bernard Maybeck and completed by A. Randolph Monroe, this 1911-built residence features Corinthian columns, open-air spaces, and a grand pavilion.
Listed for $5 million, the home blends historical significance and luxurious design, nestled in the Berkeley Hills. The home looks plucked from ancient Greece or Rome, with its classical Greek and Roman architectural styles. You access the home via a cobblestone driveway, flanked by Parisian-style lamp posts and immaculate hedges. Stone steps lead you to the open-air entry.
The front of the home has a semi-circular pavilion with 16 soaring Corinthian columns that allow for seamless indoor-outdoor access within the breezy Roman-style pavilion.
