There is a popular adage familiar in American usage, “Less is more.” You’ve probably heard it, and thought, “That’s true.” The fact is, that sometimes it is. On the other hand, sometimes more is more-as is the case with this brilliant, split bedroom Southwestern Mediterranean inspired house plan. Offering just under 4500 square feet, five large bedrooms and three baths, this palatial estate can comfortably house even the largest of families, while still leaving room for growth. Imagine a gargantuan three bay garage, framed in by an elegant courtyard and roomy covered porch. Now imagine a regal great room, comfortable breakfast nook, and spacious kitchen perfect for preparing holiday feasts for those gathering beneath your raised ceilings. Gather your ingredients from the walk-in pantry. Encourage the children and grandchildren to grab a snack at the expansive island or eating bar as you listen to details from their lives. Later, enjoy some quality family time in the colossal basement rec room, or take advantage of the diversity offered by the adjoining flex room.
With a master suite boasting of a walk in closet, dual sinks, jetted tub, water closet, and walk in shower- not to mention the hardy exterior adobe façade, or the roomy utility room, and massive interior storage opportunity, this house plan is the perfect example of more actually being more.
