Welcome to Villa Barton built in 1993 and remodeled in 2006. The villa is located in Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland. It has 5bds, 6ba, and is listed for €4.5M / $4,903,078.50. I don't know how to describe the decor, you just have to see it for yourself.

The tour begins with this very large room lined with wood paneling, and travertine floors.

If you like this carpet, good news, b/c you'll see it again.

Like here, in the sitting room with red walls to match. Note that the bar is quilted in red leather to match the Chesterfield sofas.

Quite a large bar with plenty of space for bottles.

The room also has an ornate fireplace.

This is my favorite room, big, white, and perfect for showing off the best feature of all- the big gold legs screwed into the ceiling.

This is some big dining room. It appears that the carpet is framed by the floor. This table seats 16.

Initially, I thought, what is a kitchen set doing in an office? But, it's the kitchen, which is so large, but so disappointingly sparse. They don't even show the stove or anything.

More hall, more carpet.

This is a very cool home gym. Barbie would love it.

Purple walls with the red carpet wouldn't have been my choice.

I think that this may be the empty wine cellar.

This is one of the bedrooms, and it's quite spacious. Could be a guest room.

The matching en suite has a big jetted tub. Does the floor match the wall? I've never see anything like that.

This palatial white, black & gold bedroom is the primary. You can see that it also has a large sitting room.

It has an en-suite, with that carpet. The shower seems awfully high off the floor.

Wow, look at the office. I've never seen computer screens attached like that. What the listing photos don't show, and I wouldn't expect them to, is the home's safe room, in case of a home invasion.

Look at this patio and garden. It's like in a movie.

The outdoor grounds are stunning.

The bad news is that the nearby golf course was designed by the famous golfer Arnold Palmer, and there is a mandatory yearly service charge and membership fee of €5,244.26 / $5,714.88.

"Sharon Devlin (@sharondevlin_art) is an established, professional Irish artist. Her work has been commissioned by The Citywest Hotel Dublin (where 9 pieces are in their permanent collection and are on display in their public areas), The Harcourt Inn Dublin (who acquired 5 pieces of her work), and many private national and international collections. Her work has been exhibited in Rua Red Arts Gallery, Tallaght Community Arts Gallery, Straffan Antiques and Design Centre, The Connolly Centre, and many group shows at Russborough House Wicklow. With this, her new commercial website, Sharon talks of bringing her art out to ""fresh new pastures of promise where the air will be kind and blushed with beginning"" - quoting the great John O'Donohue. She is also looking forward to working with some of Ireland's and Europe's large businesses, hotels and organizations, assisting them with expanding their rich cultural offering to their clients and customers. Sharon uses a range of media in her work. For richer, deeper and impactful pieces, she works with oils or acrylics. For more gentle and subtle pieces, she works with watercolours. Sharon also works with mixed media in some of her sculptural pieces. She is inspired by story, folklore, Irish history and the beautiful landscapes and seascapes of Ireland."
