European Elegance Found in the Meridian House Plan

Attractive stone veneer columns and wainscoting lend a comforting sense of permanence to the Meridian, a rambling Tuscan-style house plan with a pool and more than 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor living space.

An elegant welcome is found with the raised stone trim that overarches the vaulted porch. Inside the vaulted foyer, columns flank arched openings that lead to the living room on the left, dining room straight ahead, and hallways to the left and right. This design offers a wealth of generous gathering spaces, inside and out.

Family living is well-provided for. The large vaulted family room is naturally bright, with wide expanses of glass on two sides. A gas fireplace nestles into a rear corner.

Standing at the kitchen sink, you can stay in tuned of the goings-on inside and out. You can even keep an eye on the swimming pool. Storage and counter space are in abundant supply, boosted by a triangular step-in pantry.

A powder room is convenient to all of the gathering spaces, and a full bathroom is nearby, next to the guest suite. Utilities and another bathroom line a hallway that links the kitchen to the patio and pool.

The owners' suite is a quiet retreat, and also offering direct access to the covered patio and pool. Features include a large spa tub, walk-in closet, double vanity, and separately enclosed toilet. The nearby den could be used as a home office.

Two bedrooms, a recreation room, a bathroom and a loft are found on the second floor.
