They beautifully incorporate outdoor living into the everyday experience to make the most of a sunny climate. Company coming for the holidays? Flexible guest suites are ready.

Narrow-Lot Farmhouse with Wide Appeal

Remarkably flexible and storage-filled, this slim-lot design can expand into a lower level to include an in-law suite with outdoor access. On the main level, the kitchen opens to the great room and dining area for a modern feeling, and also leads out to a sun deck. The master suite showcases a walk-in shower and large closet, along with two sinks. The study can become an additional bedroom, while two more secondary bedrooms and a game loft round out the upper level. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Veranda Connections

Outstanding flow between the main living areas and the spacious back veranda comes courtesy of many sets of French doors. Even the master suite and one of the guest rooms open outside, so it's easy to step out and enjoy a sunny day. The great room showcases decorative ceiling accents and total openness to the island kitchen. Extra storage in the garage is a nice touch. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Party in the Kitchen

Whoa! That's what guests will say when they see the enormous kitchen in this one-story home. The island begins next to the dining room and then goes on.. .and on...and on. There's even an extra sink on the far end. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

No need to purchase a big lot for this luxurious, gracious home. The simple footprint fits on a not-huge piece of land and showcases views from three levels of lanais for outstanding indoor-outdoor connections. The master suite sits on the main floor and showcases a spa-like private bathroom with a walk-in shower and centerpiece tub. Three guest suites occupy the upper level, along with a spacious game room and study. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
