Paradise Key South Beach more than halfway built
Eighteen of 40 sites remain at Paradise Key South Beach, a custom-home community five blocks from the ocean in Jacksonville Beach.
The vision for Paradise Key South Beach was inspired by Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast scenic route 30A, said developer Lon Walton.
The neighborhood features authentic coastal homes with metal roofs, front porches, white-picket fences and outdoor living areas.
Home prices start in the $600,000s. Buyers can choose from one- and two-story floor plans or design a custom plan with architect Michael Stauffer.
Paradise Key South Beach is home to 25 families. Seven homes are under construction and six lots are being prepared for construction.
Preferred builder, Ruggeri Construction, has broken ground on its latest spec home, the St. Croix.
The 2,125-square-foot three-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers block construction on the first floor and a two-by-six framed second floor. Inside, design highlights include a fireplace flanked by built-ins and transom windows over interior doors. The St. Croix is scheduled for completion in mid-July.
The other preferred builder, Glenn Layton Homes, has six homes under construction, including a spec home that will break ground early this year.
Layton achieved international attention for his work as the builder of the HGTV Smart Home 2013 in Paradise Key South Beach.
