At Jacksonville FL home builder Starr® Custom Homes, your home is customized with whatever features you decide to include – we don’t force “standard features” like other builders.

DreamDesign® 16
However, to provide you with a frame of reference for value and comparison, we have defined a ‘benchmark’ of included features that would typically be a part of any Starr® custom home. Of course, any of our Benchmark Features can be changed to suit your wishes – and with no option mark-ups from us.
