You will be living in Italian luxury at less than a fourth of the cost!

Portofino homes feature brick paver driveways and walkways, colonial windows, professionally designed landscaping, granite countertops, backsplash, ceramic tile, Victorian baseboards, custom wood windowsills with aprons, enamel wood trim finish, roman tub, designer chrome faucets and hardware and much more!
