Featured Florida House Plan:
A Florida house embraces the elements of many styles that allow comfort during the heat of the day. It is especially reminiscent of the Mediterranean house with its shallow, sloping tile roof and verandas. It also includes the Tidewater or raised Key West house, faced with wood, one or more porches and verandas and windows that provide the cooling breezes to freely flow throughout. These homes make great vacation homes in southern latitudes.
Arched windows and interesting roof lines invite you into this Florida-style contemporary home. Inside, high-volume ceilings and the lavish use of glass make for an airy, spacious ambiance.
From the sheltered, recessed entry, you step into the foyer, and from there down into the living room, where a bowed mitered-glass window overlooks the covered patio. The adjoining dining room shares the view.
The huge family area includes a kitchen with lots of extras: a walk-in pantry, a built-in desk and both food-preparation and eating islands. The kitchen abuts the breakfast nook and the family room, where a fireplace and TV niche are placed side by side.
A unique six-sided window spotlights the master bedroom. The compartmented master bath includes two walk-in closets, one of which can be optionally extended. The second first-floor bedroom uses the pool bath.
The second floor bedrooms share a bath, an activity space and a balcony.
