Newsletter Riverside Home Custom Riverfront Traditional

We are thrilled to introduce our latest endeavor to keep you in the loop about all things Riverside Homes Custom – our brand-new quarterly newsletter, The Walkthrough! Our goal is not only to craft exceptional homes but also to cultivate lasting connections with our valued community.

In each newsletter issue, we will shine a spotlight on recent projects, showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity that define our work. Whether it’s the progress on an oceanfront residence under construction or the completion of a new custom home, you will get an exclusive look into the magic we bring to life.

At Riverside Homes Custom, our connection goes beyond the home. We are deeply rooted in the communities we serve, so we will be sharing local events and happenings that you will not want to miss.

We understand that the heart of a home is not just its structure; it is also the trends and styles that make it uniquely yours. That is why we will be delving into the latest design trends and ideas that can inspire your own home projects.

Each newsletter will additionally include a spotlight on a premium homesite listed by one of our valued Realtor partners. Whether you are in the market for a new home or simply love exploring the possibilities, these featured properties will give you a glimpse into the opportunities awaiting you.

We believe that the key to our success is keeping you informed and engaged, and our quarterly newsletter is one way we aim to achieve just that. Below is a recap from our first issue of The Walkthrough, where you will get an inside look at three of our recently completed Northeast Florida projects, the hottest design trends, upcoming local events, and a featured homesite that might just become your next dream address.

The Design Side of Riverside

Kitchen hoods are the equivalent of fireplaces in the living room. A natural focal point, custom range hoods should be chosen and designed properly. Design of the hood is just as important as the function. Their function is to help keep the air clean of smoke, grease, and other contaminants. By enhancing the overall ambiance of your kitchen space, range hoods make a lasting impression on all who enter.

Plaster – Plaster is durable enough to last for decades and can be painted or stained to match any decor. Its smooth, sculpted lines complement both traditional and modern aesthetics.

Wood – There are various species of wood, like oak, that can be stained or painted to create gorgeous range hoods.

Mixed – A plaster range hood accented with wood trim brings the perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary sophistication to complement any kitchen. 

 

Featured Homesite

We are proud to partner with Northeast Florida’s top Realtors and Brokers to bring clients’ dream custom homes to life. In this issue, we are shining a spotlight on Rachel Thompson, Broker/Owner of Thompson Realty & Development. Her listing at 229 Pelican Reef Drive, St. Augustine, FL, in Yachtsman’s Point at Pelican Reef is the ideal homesite to build your new home with Riverside Homes Custom on.

This unique nearly 1 acre tidal creek lot in Yachtsman’s Point at Pelican Reef (pictured above) has views all around and the added bonus of plenty of privacy. Lot price includes clearing, tree removal, 180 loads of dirt, soil compaction, engineering and soil boring tests. Lot will be build ready and will eliminate the need for pilings. A 22′ boat slip with lift at the community marina on the intracoastal waterway is also available for purchase. Boat on over to the city marina, tie up and have dinner in historic downtown St. Augustine. The developer has applied for a dock permit for a small platform/kayak and possible jet ski dock so that is a future possibility. This creek lot leads out to the intracoastal waterway. This rare lot is surrounded by all that coastal Florida beauty has to offer including salt marshes, tidal creeks, fiddler crabs and tons of shore birds. This could be your private backyard paradise.
