T
he Decorators ShowHouse returned to Shelby County in 2014. This year, Villa D’Ambra, a stunning 12,000-square-foot Mediterrenean home, was chosen as the showhouse for the annual fundraiser, which benefits the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.
Located in Greystone, Villa D’Ambra was built in 1994 by its current owners, Michelle and Michael D’Ambra. The home has six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms and four fireplaces. After building the home, the D’Ambras relocated to France for four years when Michael was transferred by Time Warner Cable.
