When the Devines moved here in the summer of 1997, they added this skylight-enhanced porte cochere to provide cover from the weather. The compound has a 5,200-square-foot main house, 3,600-square foot guesthouse and separate three-car garage. The knockers on the cypress door were found on a trip in Italy. The couple took Italian language courses, which came in handy because Foy negotiated for these pieces with a vendor in Bellagio.
