If Houses Were Ice Cream Flavors…

Summer in Jacksonville is all about sunshine, sunscreen, and sweet treats—and what better way to celebrate than by comparing our favorite home styles to everyone’s favorite frozen indulgence?

If houses were ice cream flavors,

here’s how they’d scoop out:

Craftsman Bungalow = Classic Vanilla Bean

Simple? Yes. Boring? Never. Just like a good vanilla bean, these homes are timeless, full of charm, and never go out of style. With tapered columns, wide front porches, and built-in character for days, they’re the kind of home that goes with everything—and everyone loves them.

Mid-Century Modern = Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt

Bold. Sleek. A little retro, a little daring. Mid-century homes serve up strong lines, open layouts, and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors in. They’re not for everyone—but for those who get it? Total obsession.

 Historic Four-Square = Strawberry Shortcake

These beauties are sweet, structured, and full of vintage charm. Tall ceilings, detailed trim, and big front porches make these homes feel like summer nostalgia in the best way. Bonus: They photograph as well as they show.

 New Construction = Cookies & Cream

Polished, familiar, and a crowd-pleaser. New builds come with that perfect blend of neutral finishes, clean lines, and just the right sprinkle of personalization. You know what you’re getting—and it’s delicious.

 Florida Ranch = Lemon Sorbet

Bright, low-maintenance, and refreshingly simple. Florida ranch homes are the ultimateone-level living with room to spread out and breathe. Just like lemon sorbet, they’re easy on the palate—and perfect on a hot summer day.

 Coastal Cottage = Coconut Cream

Light, breezy, and beachy vibes all day. With shiplap walls, pastel colors, and a porch swing out front, this one’s basically a vacation in a waffle cone.

So, what flavor is your dream home? Whether you’re into the bold and modern or sweet and classic, Jacksonville has a scoop for every style.
