Arranged around an open floor plan, this exceptional home offers practical conveniences and a welcoming environment. The layout of the kitchen, dining area and living room lends a family oriented quality to the center of the home.

This is Larry Driskill’s second consecutive year for building ‘Green’ in the Parade. This home was designed and constructed utilizing the National Home Builders Association’s Green Building Guidelines. Green built homes are energy efficient, high performance homes that incorporate environmental considerations into the building process. Green building is a great defense against soaring energy costs and also offers improved indoor air quality and water efficiency. The drought tolerant landscaping follows West Texas SmartScape® guidelines.
