The $135,000 Entryway
You could hope your new house comes with a really cool piece of stained glass or vintage fireplace mantels or you could make your own luck by picking up a vintage piece from Architectural Artifacts, a company which I wrote about back in 2005 for their wrought iron specialties. They have stained glass, wood and marble fireplace mantels, lighting, doors, tiles, religious artifacts and amazing artifacts such as a the entire entrance of the Hillbrook mansion. The carved limestone entryway from Hillbrook, the estate of George Arents in Purchase, N.Y., includes a raised panel entry door. It sells for $135,000.

Truly gorgeous, but, it would be "like hanging a chandolier in a haunted house" on the face of mosts people's homes.I could just see some hillbilly winning the lottery and having this thing mounted to his doublewide. LMAO !!!!!

What a beautiful antique! Still disturbing to know that someone could be spending as much on an entranceway as I've spent for my entire house!
And, BTW, I know and LOVE and have shopped Architectural Artifacts, Inc. for years. If ever you need any kind of antiques or architectural appointments, they can't be beaten. They're also very willing to find exactly what you're looking for.

I don't care about the door, but Anthony Giuffrida of Investmentsonthebeach.com - your post and web site intrigues me. I never gave serious thought to retiring to a location out of the states, but now, it looks like the best option. A beautiful home on a beautiful beach away from the politics of the USA. Who could ask for more. It may just happen in a few years.
