A Place to Call Home: The Green Street at Union Village Ohio

The homebuilder has left its distinctive mark with two uniquely crafted homes on Allen Street. The Orchard was featured during Homearama: Lifestyle Edition. As the second home, The Green Street, nears completion, it resembles the other home in just one way: it’s simply remarkable.

Nate Clemens, vice president and Dayton project manager, describes the inspiration and features of the Italianate-style home, which is for sale at Union Village.

What inspired you to build The Green Street at Union Village?

Clemens: “Our inspiration on The Green Street design came from a house located on Green Street in the Oregon District of Dayton. When we had the opportunity to be a part of Union Village, my wife and I drove through that neighborhood to get ideas on house designs that would fit with the concepts of Union Village. We just so happened to stumble across this house.”

How is the historic house plan adapted to fit into the Union Village neighborhood?

Clemens: “We incorporated an open layout on the main floor with a two and a half car garage that is in the rear of the home with alley access. Also, this plan offers a covered patio off the kitchen, with open patio space for grilling. There is a finished sitting area in the basement with optional space for a mini bar.”

What are some of the noteworthy details of the The Green Street?

Clemons: “Some key features we have in this plan are custom Amish-built cabinets and solid oak floors on the main level and the loft with wire brushed finish.

“Throughout the home we placed granite countertops and luxury light fixtures with LED lighting. We hung solid wood exterior doors and 8-foot solid core interior doors. There are rock cast limestone accents around the exterior windows and full-depth rock cast stone below the water table.”
