If you’re considering working with custom home builders in Jacksonville FL, look no further than Glenn Layton Homes. They build beautiful, custom, costal-living-style homes in breathtaking settings. As well as having built the 2013 HGTV Smart Home in Paradise Key South Beach, Jacksonville, Florida, they have completed a number of custom-built homes recently that show just how carefully and thoughtfully they combine open-air coastal living with modern comforts and design. You can see all of the stunning details of these homes in the Recent Projects Gallery on their website.

The Guana Landing home in Jacksonville is a spectacular example of coastal building, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living space. This three-story home draws the eye up the center of the home, starting with two elegant front doors and finishing on the top floor with a charming balcony. The grey-toned exterior is complemented by white trim, creating a clean coastal vibe.

The house itself is spacious and airy, with plenty of windows and double doors throughout to allow in sea breezes and lots of sunshine. Wood floors, stainless-steel appliances, granite and marble countertops and tiling in the kitchen and bath all add a sense of crisp, clean style. The beautiful dark-wood banister rail of the stairway is illuminated from multiple lights and windows. There are balconies and terraces throughout the home, with multiple sea views, culminating with the rooftop terrace with a spectacular view of the ocean and the surrounding coastal landscape.

The Serenata Beach house is another extremely spacious home with plenty of indoor and outdoor living space to be enjoyed year-round. The sand-colored home features black shutters and window frames offset by white trimwork and railings for a natural look. One of the standout elements of this home are the multiple covered verandas and porches on multiple sides of the home, offering great breezes and views, as well as additional living space.

The interior features cool shades of wood on the floors and along the walls and stairwells in certain parts to the house, creating a light beach-cottage atmosphere throughout the home. The spacious kitchen, custom cabinetry, and beautiful tile work throughout the bathrooms create a cool, calm oasis amid spectacular coastal scenery.

Finally, the Paradise Key South Beach home offers a spread-out beach cottage with plenty of space for family or guests. This two-story home is surrounded by covered porches with large windows and glass doors that provide views from throughout the home. The interior is filled with beautiful wood floors, and modern clean design, with top-quality fixtures and finishes, including granite kitchen countertops and marble-tiled bathrooms. This home also features extensive custom cabinetry for plenty of storage.

Each of these recently completed projects shows the variety of options available when you choose to work with custom home builders in Jacksonville FL like Glenn Layton Homes. Exceptional design is combined with efficient planning to create the ideal coastal living home.
