House No. 5 in the 2023 Stark County Parade of Homes was built by Rea Custom Homes.

House No. 5 in the 2023 Parade of Homes is a 2,748-square-foot home built by Rea Custom Homes.

The 59th edition of the Parade of Homes in Hartville will feature seven brand new homes, which all show off the latest in new home interior design, floor plans, technology and green building.

Rea Custom Homes has incorporated many unique design concepts from custom finishes to amazing textures.

Home No. 5, at 763 Fair Vista Circle, is a highly customized version of Rea’s very popular Southridge house plan. This house has three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a first-floor owner’s suite, a first-floor office and partially finished basement.  The front elevation has a combination of stone, board and batten siding, brick pillars and metal roof accents.

Double front doors welcome you to the home, which has fantastic flow through the main living areas with spacious, arched doorways. Both the foyer and family room have cathedral ceilings with a hand-made ridge beam. The great room fireplace has a unique limestone plaster and is finished off with a custom crafted mantle.

They have highlighted the powder room with wallpaper, champagne bronze metals and a custom vanity adding a pop of color in a very subtle green tone.

The first-floor owner suite has a beamed ceiling, large walk-in closet, double vanity with shiplap wall in the owners’ bath, with a customized tile shower with a barrier free entry.

The kitchen cabinets are made by Shiloh, a company based out of Dudley, Missouri, which is a small town 30 minutes south of St. Louis. This custom cabinetry shop produces most of its goods, therefore providing great quality control. This house features an all-wood constructed, beaded inset cabinet style, which gives it a high-end furniture feel. Combined with a marble-look quartz countertop, this kitchen is elegant, comfortable, and built to last.

The second floor has two large bedrooms. The shared bath has a split bathroom design that keeps the vanity separate from the shower/tub and commode.

The lower level is a 9’ poured wall foundation. A rec room, bar area and bathroom are ready to be finished.  A 3-1/2 car garage with an extra wide 18’ double door and an extra overhead door at the back of the garage offers ease to get lawn equipment to the backyard.

Mechanical systems include a Navien tankless hot water system with a PEX Mana block; water softener; Lennox 96% efficient, two-stage, natural gas furnace with Merv media filter and a 14 SEER air conditioner.

Josh Hostetler is 2023 president of the Building Industry Association of Stark & East Central Ohio.
