Modern Mediterranean house
Mediterranean Facade with Modern Interiors

Creative design at its best is evident in this split-type Mediterranean house. A dramatic trellis-covered courtyard opens into a foyer that holds a big surprise-- a central sky lit atrium with a waterfall!

A few steps up reveal a huge living area encompassing a living/dining room combination where sliding glass doors reveal a rear garden. From the living room where one can enjoy the relaxing sound of cascading water, one can either go up to the family hall or down to a sunken, carpeted TV parlor that looks out to the front courtyard. A U-shaped kitchen adjacent to the dining provides an efficient workspace. It has a pass-through counter to the dining room, a big prep island, a walk-in pantry, and access to an auxiliary kitchen.

Upstairs, a landing awaits and connects a guest room with a private bath and two bedrooms with a shared bath. A few more steps up heralds one to a balcony hallway that overlooks the living room and atrium below, and bridges the master suite. The cozy master bedroom has wooden shutters that swing out affording a view of the living area and creating a ‘piazza’ effect below. The bedroom also has a sliding door that opens to a bridge hallway connecting the panorama nook. This bayed nook surrounded by huge windows, makes a wonderful spot for meditating and enjoying the view of the mountainside. The master bath is the essence of luxury with an oversized walk-in closet, a compartmented toilet, a shower, a garden bathtub, and a wide lavatory top.
