A Worthwhile Renovation

I've often considered how lovely it would be to take a home and transform it into it's original splendor and glory.  And then I think about the cost and headaches and figure - not for me.  Here is an example of just what I'm talking about.  Villa Maria in the Hamptons is just stunning considering it was once inhabited as a old age home.  The transformation is beautiful.  For a cool $50 million this too could be yours.  Only in my dreams.
