			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<div id="attachment_226" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.sedaconstruction.com/news/2012/04/the-hideaway/seda-pool-at-hideaway-amenity-center-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-226"><img class="size-medium wp-image-226" title="SEDA-pool at Hideaway amenity center" src="http://www.sedaconstruction.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SEDA-pool-at-Hideaway-amenity-center1-300x131.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="131" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Community Pool at The Hideaway</p></div>
<p> With homes starting in the <strong>low $150’s</strong>, 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.</p>
<p> “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.”</p>
<p> 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. </p>
<p> “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.”</p>
<p> 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.  </p>
<p> <span id="more-224"></span>For the fifth straight year, Nassau County schools have been recognized as an Academically High-Performing District by the Florida State Board of Education. According to the Northeast Florida Education Guide, only five districts in Florida have achieved this status.</p>
<p>“With no CDD fees and low HOA dues, homebuyers get so much value for their money here,” says Semanik. “All of this <strong>AND</strong> a great location.”</p>
<p> The community is convenient to the Jacksonville International Airport, King’s Bay Naval Base and downtown Jacksonville, which is only 20 minutes away. Residents will enjoy nearby shopping at the River City Marketplace Mall, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, Publix and Kohls to name a few.</p>
<p> Located only 10 miles from Fernandina beach, homebuyers will also enjoy all of the activities that the island has to offer. With nearly 10 percent of the island dedicated to parks, residents can go exploring and kayaking through the natural wetlands and creeks, or go shell-seeking along miles of Fernandina’s pristine beaches.  History buffs will want to venture to Fort Clinch State Park located on the north end of the island, which encompasses 1,121 acres of beaches, dunes, nature trails, salt marshes and ponds.  Avid golfers will enjoy all of the beautiful golf courses available in the area.</p>
<p> SEDA offers many floor plans from which to choose, that range from 1,273 sq. ft. to 2,170 sq. ft., with many homes available now for immediate occupancy.</p>
<p> One of the plans available now is the Greenland Select III on lot 2-112. The efficient  4 bedroom, 2-bath plan gives buyers an abundance of square footage for the money, and it is priced at only $159,800.</p>
<p> In addition to building in The Hideaway, SEDA New Homes is also building in Flora Parke, located on A1A just a 2 miles west of the Intracoastal Waterway in Fernandina. Homes in Flora Parke start from $198,700. SEDA also builds in 10 other communities located throughout Jacksonville and surrounding areas, and they are one of the few homebuilders who will build their floor plan on your land.  </p>
<p>  To get to The Hideaway, take I-95 north to the A1A/Fernandina Beach exit, head east, go 4 miles to the first traffic light (U.S. 17/ Main St.), turn right, go 1 mile south to The Hideaway entrance on the left.</p>
<p>For more information, contact Shay Schoonover or Gerry Groger at the SEDA model center at (904) 225-2734. The model is located at 86152 Vegas Blvd., Yulee, FL 32097. Model hours are Monday &#8211; Saturday  10:00 am &#8211; 6:00 pm, and Sunday from 12:30 &#8211; 6:00 pm.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEDA New Homes unveiled their newest townhome building in Georgetown at the <a href="http://www.sedaconstruction.com/news/2012/03/seda-unveils-new-building-at-georgetown/seda-georgetown-alexandria-exterior/" rel="attachment wp-att-216"><img class="alignright  wp-image-216" title="SEDA - Georgetown-Alexandria-exterior" src="http://www.sedaconstruction.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/SEDA-Georgetown-Alexandria-exterior-750x671.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="173" /></a>St Johns Town Center.</p>
<p>“This new building offers a prime location with luxurious features such as 3 cm granite countertops in the kitchen and baths, tile in all of the wet areas, stainless steel appliances and refrigerator, washer, dryer, screened lanai and window blinds,” says Linda Semanik of SEDA New Homes.  “These new units are available on a first come, first serve basis, and are sure to go quickly.”</p>
<p>All of the townhomes will be “Move-In Ready” with no extra costs after closing. </p>
<p> “The townhomes in Georgetown offer flexible layouts and luxurious features,” says Semanik. “The units are spacious with 2,133 square feet and priced from the low $200’s.”</p>
<p><span id="more-215"></span>The 3-story plans feature the main living area on the second floor. This room is ideal for entertaining with the kitchen, dining room, living room and balcony all flowing together.</p>
<p>Homebuyers can choose either a 3 bedroom plan with 2 master suites on the upper level, or a 4 bedroom plan with 1 master suite on the upper level. Both plans have 3 ½ baths and a first-floor retreat. The master bedroom is located on the upper floor, offering privacy from the main living area. The first-floor “retreat” features a large bedroom, full bath with a walk-in shower, large closet and a screened lanai, giving homebuyers the option of using it as a media room, game room, office or a private guest suite. </p>
<p>“The design of the community allows for a lake view or a private view of lush trees from the first floor lanai and second story balcony,” says Semanik.</p>
<p>All townhomes are loaded with great features such as GE kitchen appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator, glass-top self-cleaning range, space-saver microwave and extra large capacity dishwasher, Moen faucets, lever door hardware, crown molding in the foyer and great room, 42” maple cabinets in the kitchen, recess lighting, Frieze carpet, security system and garage door opener with keypad &amp; remote just to name a few.</p>
<p>“Now is a great time to buy,” says Semanik. “You have the best selection and interest rates are at historically low levels.”</p>
<p>For those wanting to live in the epicenter of Jacksonville’s best shopping and dining, Georgetown has it all. As the only townhome community at St. Johns Town Center, homeowners will enjoy the benefits of townhome living as well as the proximity to outstanding restaurants and shopping that are all within walking distance.  No other townhome community offers this, making Georgetown truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity.</p>
<p>&#8220;The location has been popular to vast array of homebuyers, including professionals, families, retirees, and even Jaguar football players and former NFL officials,” says Semanik.</p>
<p>Many large corporations are located on the Southside, offering residents the ability to live, work and play in the same area. No more long commutes or aggravating traffic jams.</p>
<p> “Being located in the heart of Jacksonville, you are close to everything,” says Semanik. “The University of North Florida is located less than 2 miles away and the beaches are only 10 miles from Georgetown.”  </p>
<p>In addition to its great location, another benefit of living at Georgetown is an amenity center that includes a swimming pool and fitness center. It also features three beautiful lakes and a quaint canal running through the center of the community, with a pedestrian bridge connecting both sides of the community.</p>
<p>“Georgetown provides a ‘maintenance-free’ lifestyle, as all exterior maintenance is taken care of for you,” says Semanik. “Your free time is yours to enjoy.”</p>
<p>In addition to Georgetown, SEDA New Homes is building in 12 other communities located throughout Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau and Baker counties.  SEDA is also one of the few builders who will build their floor plan on your lot.</p>
<p>For more information on Georgetown, call the model at (904) 998-3628 or Larry Lanier at (904) 237-5844. The model is located at 4380 Ellipse Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246. To get to Georgetown from J. Turner Butler Blvd., exit on Gate Parkway heading north, turn right on Town Center Parkway, continue east to Brightman Blvd., turn right and Georgetown will be on the right. The model office hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10-5 p.m., Sunday 12:30 – 5 p.m., and Tuesday by appointment only.  For more details visit SEDA’s website at <a href="http://www.sedanewhomes.com/" target="_blank">www.SEDANewHomes.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sedaconstruction.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SEDA-LOVES-REALTORS-IMAGE.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-144 alignright" title="SEDA LOVES REALTORS IMAGE" src="http://www.sedaconstruction.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SEDA-LOVES-REALTORS-IMAGE.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="224" /></a>As SEDA New Homes, one of Jacksonville’s largest locally owned home builders, approaches their 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary in the home building industry, they reflect on what has made the journey the most rewarding.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>The Semaniks credit much of their success to their employees, who they say are like family.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p><span id="more-143"></span>Another reason that SEDA offers a superior product is because of their relationships with their subcontractors.</p>
<p>“We are very proud of the longevity of our relationships with our subcontracts,” says Semanik. “The consistency and volume pricing allows for dependability and low prices, so SEDA is able to produce a high quality home with upgraded features at an affordable price.”</p>
<p> While the real estate market has been difficult over the past few years, many of SEDA’s buyers are repeat business or referred by happy SEDA homeowners. Many of SEDA’s employees and subcontractors have also purchased a SEDA home.</p>
<p>“When it was time to upsize or downsize, many of our homebuyers have come back to us to purchase their second or third SEDA home,” says Semanik. “We even have buyers who, after closing, have thrown us a party in their new home as a way of saying thank you.”</p>
<p> Another reason that SEDA is able to offer a superior product is because of their relationship with their subcontractors. The consistency and volume pricing allows for dependability and low prices, so SEDA is able to produce a high quality home with upgraded features at an affordable price.</p>
<p>SEDA New Homes has sold over 6,000 homes in Jacksonville and are now building in eleven communities located throughout Duval, Clay, Nassau, Baker and St. Johns counties. Prices range from $120,000 in Magnolia West lot 136, to the upper $300’s in Isle de Mai on Amelia Island. All of SEDA’s communities feature NO CDD Fees.  </p>
<p>In addition to building in their communities, SEDA will also build their customized floor plan on your lot. For more information about SEDA New Homes, their communities and their model office hours, visit their website at <a href="http://www.sedanewhomes.com/">www.SEDANewHomes.com</a>.</p>

<p>SEDA New Homes, Jacksonville’s largest locally owned home builder, has broken ground on their community park at Sandy Creek.</p>
<p>“The homeowners are very excited,” says SEDA sales agent Sydney Blount. “It’s going to be a great place for neighbors to come together and play football or soccer, picnic or even fish in the lake.” </p>
<p>Conveniently located in St. Johns County, Sandy Creek offers homebuyers an opportunity to build the home of their dreams in one of Jacksonville’s ideal settings.</p>
<p>This serene community was designed with nature in mind.</p>
<p>“When we designed this community, we wanted to maintain the natural ambiance of the area,” says John Semanik of SEDA New Homes. “It is a very private neighborhood, with one road leading in and many cul-de-sac streets.  Most of the generous-sized lots are nestled among magnificent preservation areas and gorgeous lakes.</p>
<p><span id="more-102"></span>“These homesites are absolutely beautiful,” says Kim Holder of SEDA New Homes. </p>
<p>Homebuyers need to act fast as these premier lots are selling quickly.</p>
<p>SEDA has homes ready for quick move-in starting at only $199,990, such as the Wimbledon II B on lot 61. This 4 bedroom, 2-bath home features a lanai that overlooks one of the large, picturesque lakes in the community. This home also includes stainless appliances, making it truly move-in ready.</p>
<p>The homes in Sandy Creek include impressive features such as full stucco exteriors, architectural shingles, spacious gathering rooms, expansive lanais, tiled wet areas, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and window blinds throughout the home.</p>
<p>In addition to inventory homes, SEDA offers 15 home designs ranging in square footage from 1,850 to 2,950 square feet.  It is also one of the few communities in St. Johns County with NO CDD fee.</p>
<p>Conveniently located at I-95 and C.R.210, homeowners are just minutes to many businesses and area attractions.</p>
<p>Baptist South Hospital is located only 3 miles away, and the Avenues Mall and the Southside area are only 10 minutes away.</p>
<p>Located only 15 minutes away is historic St. Augustine, with rich history, unique shops, quaint restaurants and beautiful beaches.</p>
<p>Other attractions located close by include the World Golf Village, IMAX Theater,  Micklers Landing Beach Access in Ponte Vedra, the St. Augustine Outlet Mall, the Veteran’s Public Skate Park and numerous public golf courses within minutes.</p>
<p>This ideal location also boasts an “A” rated school district including Nease High School.</p>
<p>According to the St. Johns County School District’s official website, the county has been awarded the grade of an “A” eight years in a row, one of only 10 school districts in the state.</p>
<p>In addition to building in Sandy Creek, SEDA is also one of the few builders who will build their floor plan on your lot.</p>
<p>To get to the Sandy Creek model center from Jacksonville, take I-95 South to County Road 210 East.   Once you go under the I-95 overpass, the entrance to Sandy Creek will be immediately on your right.</p>
<p>For more information, call Sydney Blount and Kim Holder at 904-829-5041, or visit <a href="http://www.sedanewhomes.com/">www.SEDAnewhomes.com</a>.  The model office hours are Monday – Saturday 10-5:30 p.m. and Sunday 12:30 – 5:30 p.m.</p>

Now, in addition, the company has also been able to purchase prime waterfront home sites at incredible prices to offer homebuyers the opportunity of a lifetime.</p>
<p>The home sites are located in St. Johns Landing Estates, which is an upscale boating community with a private boat ramp that provides direct access to the southern shore of the St. Johns River. Located in Duval County on Reed Island Drive in the Fort Caroline area, St. Johns Landing Estates is less than 10 miles east of downtown Jacksonville with quick access to the Beaches and the Jacksonville International Airport.</p>
<p>This gated community features a recreation center and community pool that is located adjacent to the St. Johns River. Most of the lots are waterfront with scenic views.</p>
<p>In addition to St. Johns Landing Estates, SEDA’s “Build on Your Lot” Division also built the model home at the Jacksonville Ranch Club. This designer home is located on a one acre lot and includes luxurious features such as granite countertops, a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, an expansive lanai and much more. This beautifully furnished model, complete with furnishings, appliances and window treatments, is currently available for sale.</p>
<p>“We have homes available for immediate move-in starting from $273,900,” says Linda Semanik of the ‘Build on Your Lot’ Division of SEDA. </p>
<p><span id="more-96"></span>For those who currently own a lot and are looking to build on it, the SEDA “Build on Your Lot” Division has over 30 floor plans from which to choose and homebuyers are able to personalize and make modifications to the plan to fit their family’s needs.</p>
<p>“We have seen many homebuyers who were pricing custom-built homes but decided to build with us because we can make their dollar go farther,” says Semanik. “Landowners who choose SEDA get the benefits of volume pricing and engineered plans, which will save a buyer thousands of dollars. Buyers also save money with us because we offer items like free granite in the kitchen and bathrooms. With the lowest rates in 50 years, now is the best time to buy.”</p>
<p>“The process of home building can be daunting,” says Regina Lee, who built with SEDA’s ‘Build on Your Lot’ Division. “But your people handled our building process in an honest, upfront, informative way that made us feel satisfied and secure. Any questions or concerns that we had were quickly, efficiently and politely taken care of. Thank you for such a great experience.”</p>
<p>As one of Jacksonville’s largest locally owned and operated homebuilders, SEDA Construction Company developed this specialized team to help landowners find a flexible and affordable way to build on their land.</p>
<p>“Custom homes at production prices is our motto,” says Semanik. “When you choose the SEDA ‘Builds on Your Lot’ Division team, you have professionals, like our Field Specialist who is licensed as a general contractor, working for you. Many other members of the team have over 35 years in the home building industry. They know the steps that each of the counties requires throughout the entire building process, and their knowledge takes the stress off of you.”      </p>
<p>SEDA’s team gives personalized attention throughout the entire building process, from the home site assessment and floor plan selection, to your new home orientation and final walk-thru.</p>
<p>Don and Pam Mozick from Middleburg commented about SEDA, “When presented with a very challenging lot for construction that included wetlands, right-of-way issues, and a very steep building lot…, they were able to meet the challenge and provided a very high quality home that exceeded our expectations.” </p>
<p>Homebuyers meet with SEDA’s design coordinator in the warm and relaxing atmosphere of SEDA Design Center to review their plans and make personal selections for their new home’s interior and exterior.</p>
<p>The Design Center features all of the products homebuyers choose in personalizing their new home such as the free granite for the countertops, the carpeting, cabinets, lighting, flooring and fixtures for the interior of the home. For the exterior, buyers can see samples of shingle, stucco, brick and siding colors.  </p>
<p>“Your dedicated employees have made every stage of the building process seamless and stress-free,” said SEDA customers Tom and Linda Baine. “SEDA is an outstanding organization with highly professional employees, an excellent work ethic, and superior, quality products.” </p>
<p>Another benefit of building with the SEDA Offsite Division is the peace of mind that comes with the 10-year structural warranty through Bonded Builders. SEDA is proud to say that they have been recognized through Bonded Builders as a “Claim-Free” builder.</p>
<p>“Our top priority is customer satisfaction,” says Semanik.</p>

<p>Our freedom is not something to be taken for granted, but instead treasured, because as it has been said, “Freedom is not free.” </p>
<p>At SEDA, we honor the brave men and women in uniform whose sacrifice keeps our nation safe and our country free.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>We are proud to assist our military when they purchase a SEDA home by offering our $1 Military Move-In Special.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I read an interesting quote from an unknown author. It read:</p>
<p>Freedom is a lot like air.<br />
When it is around, you hardly notice it.<br />
Once taken from you, you notice it instantly.</p>
<p>Something for us to think about as we freely come together on this September 11<sup>th</sup> to remember those who lost their lives on that historic day.</p>
<p>Respectfully,</p>
<p>John A. Semanik</p>

<p>SEDA New Homes is holding their “Dusty Shoe” Event today from noon until 5:30 p.m., to unveil their newest townhome building in Georgetown at the St Johns Town Center.</p>
<p>“This new building offers a prime location with luxurious features such as granite countertops in the kitchen and baths, tile in all of the wet areas, stainless steel appliances, washer, dryer and window blinds,” says Andrea Craig of SEDA New Homes.  “These new units are available on a first come, first serve basis, and are sure to go quickly.”</p>
<p>All of the townhomes will be “Move-In Ready” with no extra costs after closing. </p>
<p> “The townhomes in Georgetown offer flexible layouts and luxurious features,” says Craig. “The units are spacious with 2,133 square feet and priced from $210,000.&#8221; </p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span>The 3-story plans feature the main living area on the second floor. This room is ideal for entertaining with the kitchen, dining room, living room and balcony all flowing together.</p>
<p>Homebuyers can choose either a 3 bedroom plan with 2 master suites on the upper level, or a 4 bedroom plan with 1 master suite on the upper level. Both plans have 3 ½ baths and a first-floor retreat. The master bedroom is located on the upper floor, offering privacy from the main living area. The first-floor bedroom or “retreat” features a walk-in shower, large closet and a lanai, giving homebuyers the option of using it as a media room, game room, office or a private guest suite. </p>
<p>“The design of the community allows for a lake view or a private view of lush trees from the first floor lanai and second story balcony,” says Craig.</p>
<p>All townhomes are loaded with great features such as Whirlpool kitchen appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator, glass-top  self-cleaning range, space-saver microwave and extra large capacity dishwasher, Moen faucets, lever door hardware, crown molding in the foyer and great room, 42” maple cabinets in the kitchen, recess lighting, Frieze carpet, security system and garage door opener with keypad &amp; remote just to name a few.</p>
<p>“Now is a great time to buy,” says Craig. “You have the best selection and interest rates are at historically low levels.”</p>
<p>For those wanting to live in the epicenter of Jacksonville’s best shopping and dining, Georgetown has it all. As the only townhome community at St. Johns Town Center, homeowners will enjoy the benefits of townhome living as well as the proximity to outstanding restaurants and shopping that are all within walking distance.  No other townhome community offers this, making Georgetown truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity.</p>
<p> “Being located in the heart of Jacksonville, you are close to everything. The University of North Florida is down the road,” says Craig. “Or you can get on Beach Blvd. and be at the ocean in just minutes. Some of the best golf courses in Jacksonville are just a few miles away and many large corporations are located in the Southside area. No more commuting, no more traffic, you can finally live, work and play in the same area.”</p>
<p>In addition to its great location, another benefit of living at Georgetown is an amenity center that includes a swimming pool and fitness center. It also features three beautiful lakes and a quaint canal running through the center of the community, with a pedestrian bridge connecting both sides of the community.</p>
<p>“Georgetown provides a ‘maintenance-free’ lifestyle, as all exterior maintenance is taken care of for you,” says Craig. “Your free time is yours to enjoy.”</p>
<p>In addition to Georgetown, SEDA New Homes is building in 12 other communities located throughout Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau and Baker counties.  SEDA is also one of the few builders who will build their floor plan on your lot.</p>
<p>For more information on Georgetown, call 998-3628 or visit the model center located at 4378 and 4380 Ellipse Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246. To get to Georgetown from J. Turner Butler Blvd., exit on Gate Parkway heading north, turn right on Town Center Parkway, continue east to Brightman Blvd., turn right and Georgetown will be on the right. The model office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday 10-5:30 p.m., Sunday 12:30 – 5:30 p.m., and Wednesday and Thursday by appointment only.  For more details visit SEDA’s website at <a href="http://www.sedanewhomes.com/" target="_blank">www.SEDANewHomes.com</a>.</p>

<p>Residents of the SEDA New Homes community of Isle de Mai, located on Amelia Island, enjoyed their Annual Summer Splash held last Saturday.</p>
<p>“We have a great sense of community here at Isle de Mai,” says Tara Hatton of SEDA New Homes. “Homeowners came together to share food, fun and friendships. Everyone looks forward to this event.”</p>
<p>The event was held at the Isle de Mai community pool and cabana.</p>
<p>“In addition to gathering at the pool, our homeowners plan neighborhood outings and special events,” says Dawn Cronin of SEDA New Homes. “On July 4<sup>th</sup>, 47 homeowners enjoyed a day on the river aboard the Amelia River Cruise. Based on the positive response, we are anticipating 80 homeowners to cruise next year.”</p>
<p>SEDA is proud that their neighborhood brings people together to build a friendly community.</p>
<p>“When a buyer purchases a home in Isle de Mai, SEDA gives them a membership to the Beach Club at Amelia,” says Heather Dunwoody of SEDA New Homes. “It’s another opportunity for our residents to meet and get to know one another.”</p>
<p><span id="more-71"></span>Amelia Island and Fernandina offer an array of hobbies that friends can enjoy together, such as golfing on the amazing area courses, fishing or kayaking in the creeks of the Intracoastal Waterway or the Atlantic Ocean, or bird watching or biking on the nature trails.</p>
<p>“Our homebuyers love living on Amelia Island,” says Hatton. “SEDA New Homes is one of the few builders building ‘on island.’”</p>
<p>Isle de Mai is a quaint community of only 195 homes that feature floorplans that offer luxurious living with incomparable value. SEDA’s homes include gourmet kitchens, cozy breakfast nooks, enhanced dining rooms, generous great rooms, garden view lanais and lavish owner’s suites.</p>
<p>“Homes in Isle de Mai include upscale finishes such as full stucco, paver driveways and walks, crown molding, soaring ceilings, 42” raised panel cabinetry, Granite or Silestone countertops in the kitchen, tile flooring throughout, and much more,” says Cronin.</p>
<p>For those wishing to move quickly, SEDA has homes available now for immediate occupancy in Isle de Mai.</p>
<p>In addition to building in Isle de Mai, SEDA New Homes is also building homes in 11 other communities located throughout Jacksonville and surrounding areas.</p>
<p>“For over 29 years, SEDA has been building homes for thousands of First Coast families,” says John Semanik of SEDA New Homes.</p>
<p>By striving to be the best, SEDA has grown to be the largest locally owned builder in Jacksonville. They are currently building in Duval, Clay, St. John’s, Nassau and Baker counties. In addition to their communities, SEDA is one of the few builders who will build their floor plan on your lot.</p>
