In June, we completed a stunning custom home in the Lakota subdivision of Jonesville, just outside Gainesville, FL. As a Gainesville custom home builder, we take pride in creating spaces that reflect our clients’ vision while blending seamlessly into the community. This 2,767 sq. ft. heated and cooled residence (4,023 sq. ft. total) offers three bedrooms, two and a half baths, plus a dedicated office—perfect for both family life and modern work-from-home living.
From the moment you pull up, the home makes an impression. The exterior features Hardie board siding, Owens Corning shingles, and standing seam painted metal accents from Tri County Metals on the porch and awnings. While many new homes in 2025 lean toward crisp white exteriors, our clients opted for a timeless alternative: Dorian Gray paint, a gray roof, and striking black windows. This palette of neutral, earthy tones sets the house apart while still feeling grounded in its natural surroundings.
Step inside, and the natural tones continue. Stained maple cabinetry pairs beautifully with engineered wood flooring, while the warmth of stained tongue-and-groove cypress ceilings elevates the foyer, living room, and master suite. Medium wood tones balance the lighter walls and countertops, creating a warm yet airy interior that feels both stylish and welcoming.
This home exemplifies the modern farmhouse aesthetic Gainesville homeowners love—an open floor plan, clean lines, and inviting finishes—all tailored to our clients’ preferences. Nestled in the heart of Jonesville, the home not only reflects their lifestyle but also adds to the charm and character of the Lakota community.
For us, every project is more than construction—it’s about building homes that tell a story, and this one is a perfect chapter in Gainesville’s growing tradition of custom living.
