El Fureidis, Mediterranean villa in Montecito, United States.
El Fureidis features a Roman-style architecture with Persian gardens, steel-reinforced concrete construction, and a central courtyard surrounded by public rooms.
James Waldron Gillespie established the estate in 1906 after a year-long journey through Europe and the Mediterranean region with architect Bertram Goodhue.
The formal dining room displays a barrel ceiling painted in gold leaf, depicting Alexander the Great's conquest of Persepolis by artist Henry Moore.
The recently renovated estate includes three guest suites, modern bathrooms, radiant floor heating, and a kitchen equipped with current appliances.
The conversation room features an 18-foot-high Byzantine-style dome decorated with floral patterns in gold and blue, modeled after Rome's St. John Lateran.
