The Crown Jewels of Texas Hill Country Living
The Gemstone Series is the second set of floor plans that fall under the award-winning Advantage Collection, designed to help meet the growing demand of multi-generational housing. Tailored specifically for the 80-foot-wide lots, like those found in the Riverside community in Georgetown, TX, these floor plan designs offer a more efficient use of space while maintaining Giddens’ signature luxury craftsmanship. All Gemstone Series plans feature front-facing garages and an option to include an extended family suite, making them the ideal plan for families looking for modern, multi-generational living.
“For the Gemstone series, we wanted to try something new than what is the typical Giddens floor plan. We had our first true two-story plans, with the living room with 24-foot ceilings, great natural light, large square footage up to 5,000 square feet that all fit on an 80-foot lot, which is really hard to come by with a still usable backyard.”

Floor Plans for Every Lifestyle
The Gemstone Series is perfect for those who are growing their family and looking for multi-generational housing, but also for those looking to downsize.
“The target homeowner for our Gemstone Series is going to be young families that are growing that need the extra flex space for playrooms, game rooms, movie rooms, all those types of activities, and people with another generation, their parents are moving back in with them so they can have the extended family suite, or their adult children are moving back in with them. So they have that flex space.”

The Emerald is the smallest floor plan offered in the Gemstone Series. It is a 2,951-square-foot one-story home with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. This home is perfect for those looking to downsize while still having room to host and entertain. The floor plan comes with a game room and a study at the front of the home, and the primary suite tucked in the back of the home. The addition of the optional Extended Family Suite adds approximately 276 square feet.
If you are looking for more space, the Sapphire plan offers a generous 3,346 square feet in a one-story layout. With 4 beds, 3 baths, a study, and a game room, this plan is ideal for families who prefer the convenience of one-story living. With both a one-story layout and added bedroom spaces, the Sapphire is perfect for any lifestyle and the needs of a growing family.

Some prefer a two-story layout, which makes the Ruby floor plan the perfect fit. This 4,610-square-foot, two-story home is ideal for families looking for multi-generational living. The Ruby has an upstairs game room and media room, making it the optimal space for children to have fun or for evenings together watching a family favorite movie. The first floor includes the primary suite, along with a second bedroom with a full bathroom, a study, and a powder room. The second floor has four bedrooms with three full bathrooms, which allows a perfect balance of individual spaces and seclusion from the first floor. With the extended family suite option, a first-floor bedroom would be converted into its own private suite with its own kitchenette, private living space and entrances.
