Southern Charm in the Southern Living Idea House. Here’s What You Had to Say…
January 2, 2019
If you read the August 2019 issue of Southern Living you know that the Southern Living editor labeled the Riverside Homes’ Southern Living Idea House as a home with “timeless style” as well as a “grand, new-old home set on the water filled with inspiration around every corner.” The adjectives used to describe the home that our team at Riverside Homes built on Crane Island are as sweet as the tea you would expect people are drinking as they sit on the porches of this grand home! Throughout the 28-page spread dedicated to the Southern Living Idea House, Zoe Gowen, Southern Living’s writer described our home as refined, classic, show-stopping and serene.
As the builder of the Southern Living Idea House, our Riverside Homes team was equally (if not more) interested in how YOU would describe one of our grandest projects. Building the Southern Living Idea House was a pinnacle experience for Riverside Homes – putting one of our projects in an international spotlight and on the cover of one of the nation’s most iconic lifestyle magazines. But we build every home for every one of our homebuyers with the same critical eye, level of expertise and innovation. That’s why feedback and surveys matter to us.
As thousands of Southern Living enthusiasts and people looking for an idea for their own homes tour the Riverside Homes Southern Living Idea House on Amelia Island, we value their feedback and what they have to say:
