Modern Farmhouse Inspiration | From Design to Completion

Our latest ground-up custom home by Blue Crane Homes is nestled in the heart of Tampa Heights, overlooking the picturesque Riverside waterfront. This stunning residence exemplifies our dedication to craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and construction expertise—transforming a challenging site into a one-of-a-kind home that perfectly blends modern comfort with timeless farmhouse charm.

This project came with unique site conditions that demanded precision and experience. Located within a flood zone with a grade level of just 7.5 feet, our team elevated the home to 12 feet to meet FEMA requirements and ensure long-term safety.

In addition, a Grand Oak tree at the rear of the lot required meticulous planning and collaboration with a licensed arborist and the City of Tampa Natural Resources Department. Working carefully to preserve the tree’s root system, we installed foundation piles with exacting care—a process that showcases our commitment to both environmental stewardship and engineering excellence.

Spanning 3,905 square feet of living space and 5,028 square feet under roof, this custom home offers the perfect balance of space, functionality, and elegance. Designed for homeowners who work from home, the layout includes five bedrooms and two private offices, blending productivity and relaxation seamlessly under one roof.

The modern farmhouse exterior features a harmonious mix of Hardie Board horizontal plank and board-and-batten siding, finished in crisp white with striking black window frames, a combination metal and shingle roof, and stylish garage doors. A welcoming front porch opens to an inviting foyer and spacious living room that flows effortlessly to a back patio with Synergy Wood ceilings, framing panoramic views of the river.

Inside, every detail was designed to reflect the homeowner’s vision and lifestyle. Custom cabinetry by Schlabach Wood Design elevates every space—from the kitchen and entertainment center to the mudroom, offices, laundry room, and bathrooms.

Wall paneling, shiplap ceilings, and a modern open stairway create layers of warmth and character, while high-end appliances, luxury lighting, and designer plumbing fixtures add refinement throughout. Carefully selected tilework introduces movement and texture, ensuring every room tells a cohesive story of craftsmanship and care.

This Tampa Heights custom home stands as a true reflection of Blue Crane Homes’ unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and client satisfaction. Every challenge was met with creativity and expertise—resulting in a home that’s as beautiful as it is resilient.
