Welcome to the Golf Cottages at The Jewel—where timeless architecture meets modern craftsmanship in one of Lake City’s most thoughtfully planned neighborhoods. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath Modern Cottage offers the rare combination of intentional design, enduring quality, and main-level living, all nestled among mature oak trees near the fairway of Hole 16 on the renowned Jewel Golf Course.
Expertly designed and sited by local professionals, this home reflects a deep understanding of architectural flow and natural light. The main level features three bedrooms, including a generous primary suite, and two full bathrooms. The open-concept living area is framed by custom quarter-sawn white oak trim and doors, with Brazilian oak hardwood flooring running throughout. Natural light fills the home, accentuating the richness of materials and precision of craftsmanship. Bathrooms feature black walnut cabinetry, tiled floors, and high-end fixtures that exude warmth and refinement.
The kitchen is a true showpiece featuring custom cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, and a beautifully crafted coffee bar that elevates everyday living. A large island provides a welcoming gathering space, while the adjacent dining and living areas are anchored by custom built-ins and a standalone natural gas fireplace—blending comfort and function seamlessly.
Above the garage, a spacious bonus room offers flexible living space—perfect for a guest suite, office, hobby studio, or bunkroom. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a home that is equally suited for rest, gathering, and inspired living.
Construction quality sets this home apart. Backed by over a century of generational building experience, the home is defined by integrity at every layer—from robust insulation and advanced structural detailing to exquisite trim, quartz window sills, energy-efficient mechanicals, comprehensive electrical systems, and gas line connections for the stove, fireplace, front porch lantern, and rear patio grill or fire pit.
The exterior showcases enduring craftsmanship: hand-set, locally quarried full-bed limestone is complemented by Belgian board siding and board-and-batten accents. The front porch is clad in hardwood sourced from Wisconsin old-growth forests, which evokes warmth and a stately presence. Mature backyard trees and fresh front landscaping provide a harmonious natural setting. A sprinkler system allowance is included to help bring your landscape vision to life.
The Golf Cottages at The Jewel offer more than just homes—they offer lifestyle. This charming, low-maintenance, walkable enclave is part of both a neighborhood and master association, with flexible bylaws allowing for individual or shared lawn and snow care management. It’s an ideal environment for those seeking the serenity of the bluffs, the connection of community, and the comfort of elevated living.
Discover enduring quality, local collaboration, and timeless design in this exceptional residence—The Modern Cottage at The Jewel.
