Thinking of moving to a warm, sunny area? Would homeowners like to put small homes behind them in favor of large, cool rooms and sweeping vistas? These home seekers would appreciate the advantages of a Mediterranean style home on their new Flagler Beach property. What are these advantages?
What Is Mediterranean Style?
Often mistaken for Spanish style architecture, the Mediterranean home features high ceilings for optimal coolness, red terra cotta roof tiles curved to provide more coolness, many arches, blonde brick or stucco, lots of decorative iron on balconies and stair cases, courtyards, outdoor living spaces, exotic pool areas, and open floor plans.
Found in warm areas of the country and coastal regions, Mediterranean style homes were designed to keep out the heat and humidity, leaving a comfortable room temperature behind. They bring to mind Italian coastal homes and opulence.
Advantages
Few house plans can match the stunning wide spaces and large arched walls of windows in the Mediterranean style house. The hallmark of Mediterranean architecture is its verandas, allowing homeowners of Flagler Beach property to revel in those sweeping blue vistas (and the breezes.)
The Mediterranean style home is often hardscaped along with lush landscaping to include walkways, arbors, garden seating, and sculptured pool coping. From these advantages, homeowners can enjoy not only the beach life, but the temperate atmosphere of coastal living.
One of the most desired advantages of Mediterranean style architecture is that many of the rooms open onto beautifully hardscaped patios and walkways. It’s not uncommon to find wrought iron garden seating and patio tables and chairs on these patios and walkways.
Homeowners can enjoy the luxury of relaxing in such glorious surroundings. Luxury is one of the first things people think of when they see Mediterranean style houses. Homeowners can have it without breaking the bank, too.
