JACKSONVILLE, FL –
Providence Homes is nearly sold out in Shirley Oaks, a community located in North Jacksonville. This fast-selling single-family home community offers homes priced from the low $140s to the mid-$200s.

Of Providence Homes' original 35 lots, only six are left. "We began selling at the end of August and these homes have been going fast," said Debbie Gilbert, site agent for Providence Homes in Shirley Oaks. "People love this
neighborhood. We'll be out of here way ahead of schedule." Providence Homes began pre-selling Shirley Oaks from their Marshwinds model center. The area has been so popular, it nearly sold out before the model was finished.

The model, a Parade of Homes entry, is the Panama floor plan with 2282 square feet, 3-bedroom, two-and-a half-baths with plenty of living space for growing families. The Panama offers formal living and dining rooms, and a family room. "It's a two-story home, and it has a loft upstairs that you can use as a fourth bedroom or an office or a playroom," Gilbert said. "The options are endless."

The model also includes a covered lanai. "It's on a beautiful lake lot," she said. "So, you'll have lovely views of the lake from the family room, the owners' suite, and the upstairs bedrooms and the loft."

The airport is 15 minutes away in one direction; Regency Square is 15 minutes in the other. Downtown is a 20-minute drive, and local grocery stores and restaurants are less than a mile away. "You can't find a better value, especially since we're so convenient to grocery stores, shopping, work and schools," she said. "People are flocking to this area of town because you're in a very peaceful setting, and you have plenty of room to live."

Conservation, lake and heavily treed lots are still available; average lot sizes are 80 feet by 110 feet. "It's a beautiful community in the Dames Point area," Gilbert said. "The natural scenery is outstanding." Providence Homes offers a wide range of floor plans and prices in the picturesque community starting with the Augustine at $146,940. The 1777-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has everything families are looking for, from roominess to affordability. "It has a great family room, plus formal living and dining rooms," said Gilbert. "The kitchen has 10 foot ceilings; it's very spacious, especially since it opens to the large breakfast nook."
