In today’s residential real estate market, many of us ask our new custom Florida homes to do more than simply look resplendent.

They’ll do that, of course. But no matter their size and breadth, modern single-family homes increasingly must fulfill a myriad of functions besides the core necessities of cooking, eating, sleeping and lounging on the lanai.

Seven Pines, the standout master-planned community on Jacksonville’s southeast side, delivers on these mandates. And the two builders co-creating Seven Pines are more than up to the task.

David Weekley Homes and ICI Homes are fixtures in Builder Magazine’s annual Top 100 Builders list, and are longtime stalwarts in Florida’s residential construction.

With that, here’s an overall reminder of just how versatile new homes can be in Seven Pines.

Key takeaways

• Seven Pines offers a wide range of home sizes and layouts, from starter homes to large estate-style residences.
• Rear-load and front-load garage options give buyers more flexibility in how their home lives and functions.
• Many floor plans can support multigenerational living, outdoor living upgrades, and flexible-use spaces.
• Seven Pines homes are designed to balance privacy, open gathering areas, and practical everyday functionality.

Why it’s special

If you’re here, you might already know that Seven Pines encompasses more than 1,000 acres on coastal-forested land dotted by numerous ponds.

It’s also located at the intersection of Interstate 295 (Jacksonville’s beltway) and Butler Boulevard, putting Seven Pines residents only a few miles and minutes from Atlantic beaches, the area’s top retail, dining and services enclave of St. Johns Town Center, and easy access to downtown Jacksonville with its arts, culture and sporting attractions.

Homes for everyone

From homes under 2,000 square feet on 40-foot-wide homesites that can make great starter-home options for first-time buyers, to estate-sized floor plans ranging from approximately 3,500 to more than 5,000 square feet on 70-foot wide homesites, the choices and options can be right-sized to innumerable Seven Pines customers.

Rear-load homes, another versatile feature on-trend in today’s residential housing market, is another Seven Pines hallmark. These are homes designed with garages at the rear of the floor plan, which frees up living and lounging areas up front (and safer play spaces for little ones).

Rear-entry garages are reached by small street at the back of the home, often tucking outdoor living space just off the garage and at the back of a home. This creates a wonderful oasis that’s a private extension of indoor living space.

Don’t worry. There’re plenty of front-load floor plans of all sizes with the garage entry at the front of the home, a must-have for many Seven Pines customers.

Other helpful features

The ability to serve multiple functions is one reason Seven Pines floor plans are so versatile.

Two-vehicle garage or a three-vehicle garage? A one-level home or a two-level home? How about a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen or both?

Kitchen pantries that are handy yet invisible? Or glass-door pantries that show off organizational skills and treasured cooking collectibles?

Housing older family members or young-adult children who need more nest time? Many Seven Pines homes can be tailored to multigenerational living.

Last, perhaps the best feature: Seven Pines homes scale no matter what size. Flex spaces, privacy and open living, dining and social areas can be part of every Seven Pines home.
