We understand how challenging it is to find affordable housing in our area right now. That’s why we’re committed to building high-quality spec homes that are both stunning and budget-friendly.

This new home in Oakwood Hills is one of our latest builds. It features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,300 square feet of well-designed living space. The open layout, vaulted ceilings, and durable luxury vinyl plank flooring give it a bright, spacious feel that works great for everyday living.

We paid attention to the details in this one, like quartz countertops, soft-close cabinets, a farmhouse sink, and GE stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. The primary suite features a tiled shower and stylish finishes that add a touch of luxury. There’s also a large laundry room with extra storage space, and the backyard is fully sodded with a 6-foot privacy fence, perfect for kids, pets, or just relaxing.

Seller is offering $9,000 toward closing costs with a full-price offer, so now’s a great time to take a look.

We’re proud to be building homes that help make affordable living possible, without sacrificing quality.

ICF WALLS ARE GOING UP

Big things are happening at our 8,000 sq. ft. custom home build in DeFuniak Springs! The ICF (insulated concrete form) walls are going up, and we’re loving how it’s all coming together.

These walls aren’t just tough—they’re super energy-efficient and built to handle whatever Mother Nature throws their way. Our team is carefully stacking and securing each form to make sure this home is solid, sustainable, and built to last.

It’s exciting to see the structure start to take shape, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next. Stay tuned—more updates coming soon!
