Villa Serena, had been on the market in 2007 — and a developer was planning to buy it, raze it and build several homes in its place. Arsht reportedly worked with local historians to give it a historical designation, then bought it for $12 million. Villa Serena took upwards of four years and several million dollars to restore. After work on it was completed in 2011, Arsht tapped the interior designer Tom Bendt to source period-appropriate decor, which included wicker rocking chairs.

Inside, Villa Serena has two staircases that lead to private sleeping quarters. There’s also a detached guest house above a three-car garage.
