Dreambuilder Nine, a master bath remodel we did last year for the Hughes family, was featured in this month’s issue of Florida Homebuyer / Remodel Jacksonville. The magazine featured an article on remodeling projects that cost under $15,000.
Dreambuilder Nine took a drab, low-grade bathroom and transformed it into a contemporary spa retreat. It was recognized with a First Coast Remodeler’s Award last year.
You can check out the digital version of the magazine here, and go to page 41. You can also see our ad on page 19.

Dreambuilder 15
Dreambuilder Custom Homes is excited to announce the commencement of Dreambuilder 15, the first of two luxury custom homes in the new community of Avalon in south Jacksonville Beach.
The first of two homes available for sale, Dreambuilder 15 is nearly 3100 SF with four bedrooms, three and a half baths, loft and study. Exterior and interior details follow the ‘Shingle’ style of residential architecture, bringing to mind images of Cape Cod and the New England coast. Being just two blocks from the ocean, this is a fitting style for this Jacksonville Beach home.
Visit our Dream Home Gallery to view the floorplans and our special Avalon community page for more information on Dreambuilder 15 and the other lot that is available.
More information on these exciting projects will be posted soon!

The result is a work space that feels apart from the rest of the house, a quality enhanced by the fact that the office is accessible only by an exterior door at the end of a long covered porch. (more…)
Mortgage rates hit another record low this week, with the 30-year fixed rate landing at 3.83%. This is the lowest rate ever since record keeping began in the 1950s.

Dreambuilder can help you take advantage of these low rates by connecting you with our network of financial contacts. Then all we have to do is plan for life in your new custom dream home.
