2.  The founder and owner of the Diditan Group,
Arie Abekasis draws on an extensive design
background to create custom Tuscan homes.
Arie Abekasis maintains a commitment to
creating sophisticated homes that incorporate
the Italian love of beauty.
The Tuscan home, no longer found only in
Tuscany, communicates a timeless elegance. It
has a unique look that stems from its
characteristic stucco exteriors, stone features,
and Mediterranean golds, yellows, and browns.

3.  Interiors of the Tuscan home often
accentuate this color palate with muted
greens that call up images of vineyards and
olive trees, as well as with warm wood and
dark metal features.
The Tuscan home often includes Old World
characteristics, such as wrought iron gates,
tall windows, and cobblestone paths. Lines
are clean but soft and classic; the Tuscan
home rarely works well with sleeker, more
contemporary aesthetics.

4.  In keeping with this timeless European
style, most Tuscan homes feature a
fireplace and either terra cotta or
hardwood floors. Natural materials tend
to predominate, though landscaping
tends to be carefully crafted.
