Presenting the award winning Tuckerman Home Group's William model. Currently under construction, this model will be ready by June 2008. Situated in serene wooded community of Hannah Farms, the site of the BIA 2008 Parade of Homes., this beautiful multi-level is warm and inviting with a French country flair. Generous living areas, boasting over 4,000 sq ft of functional living space. Great attention was placed on the design and livability of this floor plan. Custom built-ins and lockers in the mudroom, walk in pantry, rear first floor laundry and full sized coat closet all off the 3-car garage to make keeping your home organized an easy task! Bright sun-filled breakfast area flows directly into the gourmet kitchen with custom island double stainless ovens and dishwashers, 42" maple cabinetry, wood beams and wrought iron light fixtures. The kitchen opens to a light filled two story great room. Adding interest and functionality to this room is a wall of built-in white custom cabinets surrounding the stone and gas fireplace. Up one level is the owner's retreat with His and Her closets, luxurious owners bath with whirlpool tub, glass shower surrounded by multiple shower heads, one which cascades from the ceiling. Continuing up one level are 3 generous bedrooms and 2 full baths. With a beautiful view of the great room and foyer below. Completing this home is a finished lower level surrounded by presidential wainscoting, stone and granite wet bar. Also of note, Gahanna is the Herb City for Ohio and each Parade house landscaping scheme will incorporate an herb garden. For information on this you can visit The Ohio Herb Education Center or The City of Gahanna. Check back for updates as we complete this beautiful home.

This year The Tuckerman Home Group has generously taken on the task of building the 2008 BIA Parade of Homes Foundation House. Each year one builder takes on the responsibility of building the Foundation House and with assistance of donations from subcontractors for skills and materials, they help those in need. Proceeds from the Foundation House's sale are donated to Children's Hospital and other BIA Foundation charities. The Tuckerman Home Group has been building in the Columbus area for more than 18 years and understands the importance of giving back to the community. We are very excited about this opportunity to help our community and increasing awareness of Children's Hospital's importance.
