Designed by Tidewater Homes, it seamlessly blends the timeless elegance of traditional design with the clean lines and functionality of contemporary style. Rich emerald tones, custom millwork, and a thoughtful mix of classic and luxe elements create a space that feels both sophisticated and inviting. More than just a model home, this project represents a bold vision—where high-end craftsmanship, efficient execution, and refined design come together to set a new standard for boutique home building.

From the designer… Building this model home was more than just another project—it was a defining moment for our boutique home building business in Jacksonville, Florida. We set out to create a home that embodies timeless transitional chic design, blending classic elegance with modern functionality. What made this project truly stand apart was not just the sophisticated, jewel-toned aesthetic or the meticulously crafted details, but rather the challenge of executing it all within an accelerated timeframe—without compromising on the level of craftsmanship that defines our brand. By leveraging our expert trades to their fullest potential, we were able to bring this vision to life with an uncompromising standard of quality, ensuring that every detail, from custom millwork to high-end finishes, was executed flawlessly.

More than just a showcase of our capabilities, this home represents the next evolution of our business. Designed with our own families in mind, every space was thoughtfully planned to be both functional and luxurious—from open-concept living areas that encourage connection to refined private retreats that exude elegance and comfort. This home sets the stage for how we approach custom home building, proving that elevated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and efficient execution can coexist. It’s not just a house; it’s a statement of what’s possible when passion meets precision, and it marks the next chapter in our journey as Jacksonville’s premier boutique home builder.
