WHY ITWORKED: Historically correct new homes in a revitalized, historic neighborhood is a combination that can't be beat. Five Craftsman-style home plans offer period charm as well as updated amenities.

  • SRG made its name in Atlanta with infill construction. It's continuing that work with 150 vacant lots in Jacksonville's Historic Springfield neighborhood.
  • Exterior details on the 1,974-square-foot Saxelbye model (shown) include a second-story front porch, vintage architectural trim, and wood windows.
  • Features inside the Saxelbye include extensive crown molding, 10-foot ceilings, and recessed lighting.
  • All five models meet Florida's hurricane wind code and energy code requirements.
  • A detached, 576-square-foot, two-car garage is available with space suitable for a furnished apartment or office on the second floor.
