What Makes This House Special?

This house is quite unique! It has two and a half stories and is covered in a smooth material called stucco. Its design is a mix of two cool styles: Italian Renaissance Revival and Mediterranean Revival.

Italian Renaissance Style

The Italian Renaissance style gets its ideas from the art and buildings of old Italy. Think of grand palaces and beautiful villas. This style often uses balanced shapes and classic details. It makes buildings look elegant and strong.

Mediterranean Revival Style

The Mediterranean Revival style brings a bit of sunny, warm places to mind. It often features stucco walls, low-pitched roofs, and arched windows. These elements make a house feel like it belongs in a coastal town. The Sutliff House combines these two styles for its own special look.
