Outdoor
patios or courtyards extend the living space of these single family ranch and
villa homes constructed by Wilcox Communities.
A home’s square footage is no longer
confined to its four walls. Today’s trends are favoring private, outdoor
areas, like patios and courtyards, which extend a home’s living space to the
yard. These outside living rooms become a homeowner’s outdoor
oasis—and when designed correctly can add viable living space to the home; as
well as scenic beauty, privacy, and the perfect arena for backyard
entertainment. Patios and courtyards are extremely
popular with new home buyers and are considered one of the favorite features
available in the single family ranch and villa floor plans constructed by
Wilcox Communities.
“We believe that a properly
designed outdoor area becomes a natural extension of a homeowner’s indoor
living space. By adding features like a fire pit, water features, furniture and
landscaping to a courtyard or patio, it’s easy to achieve indoor comforts
outdoors for relaxation and entertaining,” said Leigh Nevers, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing.

Depending on a homeowner’s budget and space,
options for outfitting a patio or courtyard are virtually endless. For those
who enjoy entertaining, an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, grilling area or bar are
great additions. Or, to achieve an outdoor retreat for
momentarily escaping life’s responsibilities, consider calming elements like water
features, gardens and seat walls that blend seamlessly with the home’s
landscaping to create a peaceful outdoor sanctuary.
Wilcox Communities has vast experience
designing attractive and versatile outdoor patios and courtyards that
complement its beautiful ranch and villa style floor plans. Landscaped patios
are an option available in Wilcox’s Cathedral Series homes. Private courtyards
come standard in their Courtyard Series homes with optional features available including
covered or screened porches, as well as a variety of landscaping packages. Courtyards
and patios provide customers welcomed privacy and extra comforts to their
