What is a Spanish Style House?

Answer:
Very similar to the Mediterranean Style home,

the Spanish Style House is known for its heavy, terra cotta tile roofs and its gracefully arched doorways, windows, and entryways. The Spanish Style House is often decorated with graceful wrought iron features, such as light fixtures, railings, and fences, offering a striking contrast to the light colored stucco exterior walls.

Many Spanish Style Houses feature small verandas, porches, and balconies, gracefully attached to every room in the house. Many Spanish Style Houses are designed around elaborate courtyards and garden areas, with fountains and water features that transport the home owner to the beautiful Spanish countryside. Although Spanish Style Houses can be found in single and multi-level styles, the roof is usually low-pitched with the front entrance protected by a lovely stucco wall.
