Bright and Sunny Mediterranean Home has Many Elegant Touches

A bright stucco exterior and high, arched windows lend the Mediterranean-style Corsica an actractive sunny appearance. Keystones offer a classic touch, over the garage-door lintels and at the center of all five majestic front arches.

Passing through the arched front porch, you step into an exceptionally bright entry. Natural light flows in through sidelights and a graceful half-circle transom.

The foyer's ceiling soars 13 feet high. A recessed display niche is on the right side, opposite a set of ornamental columns that welcome the living room's wide opening.

Stacked windows fill the great room's rear wall. The top edge of the upper windows forms a gentle arch. Built-in cabinetry on both sides of the gas fireplace can function as a home entertainment center.

The roomy combination kitchen/dining room is open to the great room. Counters, a desk, pantry, sink and appliances line two walls, while a large cook-top work island rimmed by a flush eating bar is at the center. A second pantry is nearby, along the hallway that leads to a bathroom, utility room, and a den with bay window and patio access.

The dining room has access to a partially covered section of the patio, along with another glass door across the way in the master suite. Other luxurious amenities include his-and-hers walk-in closets, twin vanities, walk-in shower, deep soaking tub and totally private toilet.

Two more bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs, along with a storage room.
