Unique Indoor-Outdoor Layouts

Unique “Florida Room”

Relaxed yet luxurious, this Mediterranean-style plan is perfect for an easygoing lifestyle. The unique, super-versatile “Florida room” opens up on two sides for an outstanding indoor/outdoor hangout. Enjoy meals at the kitchen’s peninsula counter, or nearby in the open dining room. The master suite features dual closets and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and two sinks. Don’t miss the spacious utility room and handy “family valet” area by the garage. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Private Master Courtyard

Six – yes, six – different outdoor living areas make this home an outstanding choice for a warm climate. Perhaps the most enticing of these is a private courtyard for the master suite that’s complete with a fireplace (there’s another one in the bedroom, too). The other three bedrooms each access a separate porch or patio on the second level. Other highlights of this impressive home include the kitchen’s generous island, a small office nearby, and a kid-friendly family room upstairs. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Large Courtyard on the Side

This unique Mediterranean design wraps around a private courtyard that can hold a pool for the ultimate in relaxation and comfort. The separate cabana includes a super-spacious bedroom, private bathroom, and a huge walk-in closet to give outstanding comfort to a live-in relative or guests. Even more impressive, the master suite offers outstanding relaxation in its luxurious bath. In the main gathering areas, the open layout is spacious and inviting, with a cozy fireplace and easy access to the island kitchen. A third bedroom suite could easily serve as a home office. See more images, information, and the floor plan.

Private Patios

Natural light floods every room of this sleek home, especially the large great room with its magnificent window walls. The dining area features its own wall of retractable glass doors leading to the outdoor living space, which has a built-in area for grilling. The unique master suite offers a built-in dresser, a private patio, and a spacious bath with a walk-in shower. Just outside the master suite, you’ll find the den/fourth bedroom, which also opens to a small private patio. On the opposite side of the house are two bedrooms sharing a bath.
