If Pip's nemesis Miss Havisham lived in Chapel Hill, this is where she'd live (or at least buy furniture).. In Short
Built in the 1960s by an artist who admired Italian mansions, the Villa is a sprawling, echoing house constructed of stucco, tile, cobblestone and restored wood. Perhaps the most striking feature is a lower-level water fountain that's set against an ornate floor-to-ceiling stained-glass window. Though the house is packed with heavy European antiques, artful furniture placement helps the villa retains its private residence feel, albeit an opulent one.
