Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Want outdoor entertaining year-round with a built-in spa area (expansive rear veranda with spa)
  • Need a four-car garage on a wide lot without compromising curb appeal (dual two-car courtyard garages, 100–109 ft wide)
  • Desire an exercise room attached to the master suite (first-floor master with dedicated exercise area)
  • Love Mediterranean or Tuscan style with architectural drama (Roman pillars, grand foyer, stone and stucco)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a single-story layout — this is a two-story design
  • Have a narrow lot under 100 ft — this plan needs 100–109 ft of width
  • Want a compact home to minimize build costs — 4,600 sq ft is a substantial footprint
  • Need more than one first-floor master suite — only one first-floor master is provided

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Mediterranean Mansion with Courtyard Garage and Rear Veranda

The Katheko is a 4,600 sq ft Mediterranean mansion that makes a commanding statement with its motor court, dual two-car garages, and grand 20-foot foyer framed by Roman pillars. This four-bedroom luxury home is ideal for wide lots, with a distinctive Tuscan flair and courtyard-style garage layout that preserves the home's elegant front elevation.

The interior centers on an open family gathering area where a gourmet kitchen with large breakfast bar flows into a corner-fireplace family room and sunny breakfast nook. An expansive rear veranda equipped with large pillars and private spa extends the entertaining space year-round. The first-floor master suite offers its own exercise area and direct veranda access, creating a luxurious owner's retreat.

Upstairs, two additional bedroom suites and a high-energy game room with balcony access complete the design. Built on a slab foundation with stone and stucco details, the Katheko features split bedrooms, a home office, walk-in pantry, formal dining room, and keeping room—delivering the space and architectural presence active families depend on.
