Mediterranean Veracruz Design Wraps Around Courtyard

Featured House Plan of the Week, Mediterranean House Plan, Home Plan, Veracruz 11-118

The Verzruz has gridded windows that fill all of the gently arched openings giving this sun-bright stucco home a breezy Mediterranean-style ambiance. Dramatic stucco columns soar two stories high to support and highlight the grand entry.

The interior is breathtaking. Double doors open into a two-story foyer filled with natural light from the sidelights and transom. Arched openings access the formal rooms: the living room on the right, dining room on the left. Then the double doors straight ahead lead back out into an open courtyard. The arched-opening colonnade that runs along two sides of the inner courtyard provides direct access to most of the ground floor rooms.

Informal gathering spaces are on the left. Decorative columns anchor the four corners of the kitchen's work island. An eating bar runs along one side, while another flush eating bar rims the peninsular counter close to the ovens, prep sink, and roomy corner pantry. The double sink boasts a pass-through garden window with view to the courtyard.

The kitchen is open to the family room, and just a few steps from a large utility room with a powder room at the end. Past, or through, the living room, on the right side of the entry, is a large media room with a gas fireplace, adjoining bathroom, and covered patio.

Bedrooms are upstairs, joined by a lanai overlooking the courtyard. The luxury owners' suite has one large walk-in closet, and a smaller adjacent one. Secondary bedrooms and a bath are on the opposite wing, and has another set of stairs which lead to the family room.
