The Isabella II offers a relaxed contemporary style, blending lightened driftwood finishes and darker tone furnishings accentuated with bright colors, contemporary artwork, and striking modern light fixtures. The Great Room design of the 3,009 square foot Isabella II offers a spacious Master Suite occupying one side of the home, and also includes luxury options such as a sparkling pool and summer kitchen overlooking one of Mediterra’s serene lakes.

The lower level family room sits out of view to the right of this picture. When looking out of the family room you see the pool wall, a mere 7' away. I incorporated three acrylic windows in the pool wall to both extend the visual distance and to provide additional light into the lower walkway area...at night, with the pool lit, the outlook from the family room is enchanting.
