Categories: Homes, Southern Living

As the sun rises and sets on Crane Island, you are certain to get a picture perfect, no-filter needed view of the stunning surroundings when living in this Portfolio Home built by Riverside Homes Custom. The sounds of birds, views of cranes flying over the Intracoastal waterway, the squeaks of rocking chairs on the four porches while holding a cold slippery glass of ice tea bring this low country gem straight out of a southern novel and into reality.

The Park House, a collaboration of Riverside Homes Custom and Moser Design Group, is currently underway. Located at 71 Old Well Road in Fernandina Beach on Crane Island, home of the 2019 Southern Living Idea House also built by Riverside Homes Custom, this home has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 3,695 square feet. But what makes the home a true showstopper are the four porches that total more than 1,200 square feet.

“Our custom homebuyers are always looking for a floorplan that provides an ideal atmosphere for entertaining. And why wouldn’t they? Especially when they’re building a home with breathtaking views of the Intracoastal,” said Matt Birdwell, President of Riverside Homes Custom, “The Park House was thoughtfully designed for entertaining and creating a space for people to gather, spread out and celebrate any of life’s occasions.” From the porches, you can enjoy Mother Nature’s beautiful canvas of marshes, the Intracoastal and Alice Park. The Park House boasts a two-story wrap-around porch. “The design team, Moser Design Group from Beaufort, South Carolina, was inspired by the historic design heritage of Old Fernandina Beach,” Birdwell shared, “Our award-winning team at Riverside Homes Custom is excited about this collaboration and opportunity to build a custom home with today’s custom features and finishes yet with the architectural vernacular of the best of Old Fernandina Beach. It really is the perfect combination.”

 

     

Currently priced at $1,925,000, the Park House is located in the nationally-recognized community of Crane Island. Southern Living cast a spotlight on this community when they selected Crane Island as the perfect location for their 2019 Southern Living Idea House and chose Riverside Homes Custom as the builder for the home that was featured in an 18-page spread.
