The new homes in Mediterra provide stunning outdoor living spaces with options that make them entertainment ready; making it easy for families and friends to reinforce life-long bonds over a few glasses of vintage red wine.

Here are a few unique features that make entertaining al fresco effortless at Mediterra: 

Open-Concept Living Spaces 

Floorplans at Mediterra have been designed to blend indoor and outdoor living spaces into a single fluid experience through subtle features including multiple sliding-glass doors and covered lanais. The great room of the Bettina flows directly onto an expansive patio overlooking the custom pool and spa, allowing guests to navigate an al fresco gathering with ease. The home’s interior design by Romanza pulls in blues and greens to impart a cohesive coastal theme, inside and out.

The outdoor kitchen in the Girona features a large stainless-steel built-in gas grill with hood vent, marble backsplash, and sink to ensure that al fresco meals taste as good as their accompanying atmosphere looks. The openness of the Girona and its connection to the surrounding outdoor spaces captures the essence of Florida lifestyle.
