Floor Plan Profile: Hammock House

When you want a custom coastal home that honors the area’s architectural history and the nature that surrounds it, Glenn Layton Homes is the only custom home builder in Jacksonville Beach FL that you should call. Combining beauty and the latest in smarthome technology, Glenn Layton Homes has a variety of floor plans from which to choose, including the stunning Hammock House.

The Hammock House is a beautiful blend of the layered, Mediterranean style reminiscent of the famous Florida architect Addison Mizner, combined with contemporary lines that help to make it timeless. This is a home with fantastic curb appeal and that’s just the outside.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious home that makes the most of the indoor/outdoor living that Glenn Layton Homes is proud to do so well that it feels almost seamless. The home has four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 4,015 square feet spread over two floors. With high ceilings open to the second floor, front and back covered porches, and even an upstairs balcony, this home is a classic, while featuring all of the things people want in a home these days.

On the first floor, the spacious foyer welcomes you into the home and gives you a feel of what you can expect. Much of the home is open plan, perfect for catching cool breezes, but there are also plenty of areas separated for the peace and privacy you need. For example, just off the foyer, but with the doors opening onto the large family room, is a spacious study, perfect as a home office or a bibliophile’s dream library. Meanwhile on the other side of the foyer is an open dining room that is defined with the use of stylish columns designating the corners of the area. This gives it more attention than a simple open dining area, while allowing for a range of decorating styles.

The foyer has a view toward the magnificent living room that is open to the second floor and also features sliding glass doors along the back wall for a sense of limitless space. And for the occasional chilly evening, especially in coastal areas, the living room includes a beautiful fireplace. Next to the living room is a large kitchen, which includes an island, a built-in bar area and a wealth of cabinet and storage space, as well as more access to the covered back porch, perfect for entertaining.

In addition to all of this, there is a mud room and a half bath on the first floor, as well as two bedrooms, including the owner’s suite, which takes up one whole side of the home, offering plenty of space for relaxation. The owner’s suite has access to its own section of the back patio, along with two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom with separate bathtub and a shower with a built-in bench. The other large bedroom is located on the other side of the home and has its own private bathroom, making it perfect for family or guests.

Upstairs are the two additional bedrooms, along with the view overlooking the family room. Both bedrooms have access to a full bathroom, though the bedroom in the back of the house has an ensuite bathroom, and the other bathroom is open to the rest of the floor, which features a rec room area separating the two bedrooms. This flexible space can serve a variety of purposes, depending on the family’s lifestyle. The bedroom in the front of the home, as well as the rec room, have doors that lead out on the long balcony running across the front of much of the home.

Like all of the homes Glenn Layton builds, there can always be changes made to meet your specific needs. This is why they’re an award-wining and highly respected custom home builder in Jacksonville Beach FL. If you’re dreaming of an ideal coastal home, then Glenn Layton Homes is perfect for you.
