The possibilitiesare endless with this well-built custom home. Our home was designed by us, and expertly crafted by our builder-Rick Pratt. There is nothing else like it. Good taste, simple design. No skimping on materials, all quality products were selected. We took no short-cuts.
Features I will try to list… Lot size: 5.87 acres. House sits on the highest point in Massillon, actually Tuscawaras Township. Beautiful sunsets occur on the wide-open horizon. Quiet road witheleven houses,a farm to the west, woods to the east. Farmer next door currently cuts unused areas for hay. Drive is 850’ long, lined with American chestnut trees. All utilities are buried: natural gas, electric, cable, phone.
Close to route 30 & 21. 60 miles south of Cleveland, 12 miles west of Canton, sixteen miles south of Green.
Energy-efficiency is what we had in mind. Two car garage, pocketed between MB and other two first floor bedrooms. House has 2X6 exterior walls, 10/12 pitch roof with architectural shingles. 250’long covered-porch. Wood casement Marvin Integrity windows that tilt in, and have removable grids. Noise batting between rooms. Reward Wall poured foundation, and a 13 course basement. Radiant floor heat with 5 zones, garage and basement included. Central air with April Air cleaner. FM interior antenna, wired for sound in great room. Thermostat controlled attic/gable fan. Hot water circulating pump, water softener, anti-scald faucets, 220’ deep well into the “Big Indian” that give you excellent water.
No skimping on our investment. Front Door is steel w/wood skin and lead glass sidelights.

Wheelchair accessible doorways(36”). First floor living, washer/dryer across from walk-in pantry. Rear porch has 2 sets of French doors and a gas line ready for a 3-4 season room.
One set of French doors goes to kitchen, other to MB suite. This is a private suite, 525 sq ft. Spacious with large walk-in closet. MBath has garden tub and a shower, pocket door on toilet, his & her sinks, wall sconces, recessed and pendant lights. Corner crank-out windows at garden tub.
