Mediterranean Curb Appeal, Palms, and a Dreamy Backyard

A sun-warmed Mediterranean welcome begins at the curb with palm trees lifting over a stucco façade, terra-cotta tones, and a stone walkway bordered by rosemary, lavender, and silvery olive shrubs. Arched accents and wrought-iron touches lead guests past bougainvillea and low, drought-wise plantings that keep the look lush while staying easy to maintain.

Out back, the mood opens to a private retreat with a generous patio for dining, a wood pergola that casts soft shade, and planters filled with citrus and herbs. There is ample lawn for play, a quiet corner with a bubbling fountain for morning coffee, and an evening gathering area around a built-in fire feature, all framed by palms that sway with coastal ease.
