Quality, value, convenience and great schools….these words describe The Hideaway, a SEDA New Homes’ community located just south of A1A on US-17 in Nassau County.

 With homes starting in the low $150’s, no money downopportunities and standard features that include architectural shingles, irrigation system, full security system, gourmet kitchens with stainless appliances, solid surface countertops  and  42” premium maple cabinetry, homebuyers can feel confident that they are making a smart investment in their future.

 “Quality has always been top on our list,” says Linda Semanik of SEDA New Homes, one of Jacksonville’s largest locally owned home builders. “For 30 years, we have been building homes for thousands of First Coast families.  Many of our customers have built numerous homes with us and trust us so much that they have referred their families and friends to us.”

 SEDA has been recognized for their quality construction throughout the years with numerous gold and silver awards from the Northeast Florida Builders Association Parade of Homes. 

 “We pride ourselves on offering a superior product to our customers,” says Semanik. “In today’s difficult market, the fact that we are still doing well speaks volumes about our reputation as a sound builder.”

 In addition to the quality construction, the community itself offers great value for homebuyers. Residents in The Hideaway will enjoy a picturesque community with two beautiful spring-fed lakes and many private, cul-de-sac streets. The amenity center features a Cabana and pool, where family and friends can gather on a sunny afternoon.

As SEDA New Homes, one of Jacksonville’s largest locally owned home builders, approaches their 30^th anniversary in the home building industry, they reflect on what has made the journey the most rewarding.

“We are a family business,” says Linda Semanik, Sales Manager for SEDA New Homes. “I mean that in every sense of the word, from family members, to our employees and subcontractors, to our homebuyers. It is the relationships that we have built along the way that have meant the most to us.”

Back in 1982, John A. “Sandy” and Linda Semanik began with the vision of providing Jacksonville home buyers with the best quality home for their money and the best service, both before and after the sale. During the past 29 years, three generations of the family have worked for the company, from John’s father to the couple’s children.

“Many of our subdivisions and streets are named after family members,” says Linda Semanik. “For example, Flora Parke in Fernandina is named after Sandy’s mother, and we built the community of Arnold Ridge, which is named after Sandy’s father. The community of Sandy Creek in St. Johns County is named after Sandy, and Linda Lake Lane is named after me.”

The Semaniks credit much of their success to their employees, who they say are like family.

“Many of our employees have been with us over 12 years, some of which have been here over 20 years,” says Semanik. “We have been there for one another during the ups and downs of life, and the ups and downs of this unpredictable real estate market.”

On this upcoming 10^th anniversary of September 11, 2001, it is a time for our nation to reflect on what it means to be the “land of the free, and the home of the brave.”

Our freedom is not something to be taken for granted, but instead treasured, because as it has been said, “Freedom is not free.” 

At SEDA, we honor the brave men and women in uniform whose sacrifice keeps our nation safe and our country free.

As a marine who served during the Vietnam War (’66-’69), I deeply appreciate the dedication that these men and women have for our country. My father was an Air Force P51 fighter pilot who served during WWII, so respect for our military runs deep with me.

We are proud to assist our military when they purchase a SEDA home by offering our $1 Military Move-In Special.

In addition, we also recognize those who serve our community and make our neighborhoods a better place to live. For those service professionals, including police, firefighters, teachers and medical professionals, SEDA offers special incentives when they purchase one of our homes.

I read an interesting quote from an unknown author. It read:

Freedom is a lot like air.
When it is around, you hardly notice it.
Once taken from you, you notice it instantly.

Something for us to think about as we freely come together on this September 11^th to remember those who lost their lives on that historic day.

Respectfully,

John A. Semanik
