The community of Beacon Lake and its premier Phase I builder team, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes, were recently honored with three Parade of Homes awards, recognizing the lakefront lifestyle community’s designer-decorated model homes.

Hosted by the Northeast Florida Builders Association, the Parade of Homes showcased models highlighting the latest in craftsmanship, design and innovation in more than 65 neighborhoods across Northeast Florida. At Beacon Lake, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes are building coastal-inspired homes featuring welcoming front porches and open floor plans.

“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our model homes at Beacon Lake,” said Bruce J. Parker, Managing Director for BBX Capital Real Estate, Beacon Lake’s master developer. “With award-winning home designs, family-friendly lakefront amenities and a welcoming neighborhood environment, Beacon Lake is quickly becoming the finest place to call home.”

Beacon Lake has five beautifully furnished and decorated model homes showcasing the latest in home design trends by Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes. The community offers residents the very best of St. Johns County living with a convenient location and top-rated St. Johns County schools. The thoughtfully designed neighborhood features pocket parks and stop-a-whiles for enjoying the community’s natural surroundings and has an intimate and friendly feel, making it an excellent place to live and raise a family.

Anchored by a 43-acre, paddle-friendly lake and nestled within 358 acres of nature preserve, Beacon Lake’s amenities make it a one-of-a-kind neighborhood. The graciously designed 8,200-square-foot Lake House Amenity and Fitness Center, which is under construction and anticipated to open in early 2019, will be the heart of Beacon Lake and home to fun and fitness. The Lake House will include a fitness center with cardio, strength training, aerobics, spinning, free weights and yoga studio, a culinary studio and demonstration kitchen, spacious entertainment and dining areas, as well as covered porches and a fire pit for relaxing and socializing. Outdoor amenities include a splash park, Junior Olympic lap pool, a dog park, sand beach, playing fields and tennis courts.  The dockside Crew House will provide kayak, canoe and paddleboard storage as well as a launch area, making it easy for residents to enjoy Beacon Lake.
