Mediterranean Revival is an architecture style introduced in the United States in the late 19th century, variously incorporating references from Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Beaux-Arts and Italian Renaissance architecture. The movement drew on the style of palaces and seaside villas and applied them to the rapidly expanding coastal resorts of California and Florida. In the 1920s and ’30s, Hollywood movies featured romantic Mediterranean sets, and celebrity magazines showed stars living in glamorous Mediterranean manors. The style’s design cues include stucco walls, red tile roofs and balconies made of wood or wrought iron.

The condominium at 2800 Lakeside Parkway Unit #1401 is represented by Allison Hayden and Deborah Arnold and priced $1,999,000.
