This Rembrandt Homes entry, one of two built by the Uniontown company for the parade, has been created to show that a “green” home can have the same appeal as any other. Featuring 1,972 square feet, The Greenville has an open floor plan that will allow the owner flexibility.

The builders earned certification at the Gold Level from the Northeast Ohio Green Building Initiative for the home, which they earned by scoring high in five different areas. The home was constructed with Insulated Concrete Form foundation, which is extremely energy efficient, according to company officials.

The ranch-style home also features a full basement that can be finished to almost double the home’s square footage. An open stairway leads to the basement.

The home’s entrance is remarkable for its dramatic barrel-rolled entrance in the foyer that leads to a unique coffered ceiling in the great room.

The kitchen is open and finished with maple cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops and a handmade brick backsplash.

Elsewhere in the home, a custom wood and stone fireplace creates a cozy feel, while the formal dining room has custom wainscoting. An oversized two-car garage includes extra space for storage.

The model home is listed at $319,000.
