Celebrating 60 Years of Luxury Home Building with New Evans Farm Show Home 360

Written by: Scott Shively, Bob Webb Homes

For the past six decades, Bob Webb Homes has been building custom luxury homes for families in Central Ohio, and even with all of that experience the focus on innovation and cutting-edge home design has not wavered. Since our inception, our family-owned company has built thousands of homes. Each project is special to us and unique in its own way – especially the new homes we’re building in phase 1 of Evans Farm.

Bob Webb Homes is one of the oldest and most reputable luxury custom home builders in Ohio, known for our undeniable craftsmanship and unmatched attention to detail. We greatly value the reputation we have earned and are committed to making every home truly custom to you and your needs. Driven by a desire for innovative design, high standards of excellence and exceptional customer service, our team at Bob Webb Homes works with contractors and suppliers who share this passion – many of whom have been with the company since the very beginning.

We are a proud recipient of 20 Consumer’s Choice Awards for Best Custom Builder, and at last year’s BIA Parade of Homes, our own Ohio’s Most Impressive Show Home came away with 10 awards, more than any other home in the Parade. We also were voted as the Best Custom Home Builder in Columbus CEO’s Best of Business issue.

At the 2018 BIA Parade of Homes, the Bob Webb Show Home featured a large eat-in kitchen with custom island, our famous Messy Kitchen, a glamorous master bath, a spacious nanny suite, a retractable glass wall that opened up to a stunning patio, and of course, eye-catching curb appeal. https://bobwebb.com/project/ohios-impressive-show-home/

Our Show Home 360 at Evans Farm promises to be just as impressive and a perfect way to celebrate our 60th anniversary. You won’t want to miss an inch of this home which will leave visitors inspired to envision their own custom home within the Evans Farm community. To realize your vision for your dream home, contact us for a private tour. We’d be happy to show you around and help you design the luxury home you have worked so hard to achieve.

During phase 1, we will build four new inventory homes that will feature custom details Bob Webb is known for such as our Exclusive Messy Kitchen, which is a separate cooking space used to prepare food so your primary kitchen remains beautiful for entertaining. Our team will be building both custom homes as well as Simplified Living homes in Evans Farms. A Bob Webb custom home is truly one-of-a-kind and created to fit each individual homeowner’s needs. When selecting a Simplified Living home, a homeowner is choosing to enjoy life without the hassle of regular home maintenance – no mowing or snow shoveling required with this home style. It is important for us to build homes that work for your phase of life and that means allowing you more time spent with family and friends, traveling, entertaining and doing the things you want to do.

Spring Preview

Although it was far from a “spring” preview, each Sunday in March attracted between 200-300 guests to our community to learn more about our neighborhoods and tour several homes. Evans Farm coordinated with eleven of our builders to open fifteen homes for public tours during our four-week event. All of these homes are in various stages of construction and were open to the public on Sundays for a few hours.

Each week, Evans Farm asked a local professional to open the day by speaking briefly about a topic related to our community. The topics ranged from the “2019 BIA Parade of Homes” to “The Parks at Evans Farm” to “The Commercial District” and finally “Building an Energy Efficient Home”. After the presentations, a short question and answer session took place and then all of the houses were open for viewing.

Since there was such a strong interest in this event, the Evans Farm staff and our builders have agreed to continue opening the homes to our guests for the month of April. We will coordinate with the builders to have several houses open April 7, 14 and 28 from 2-5pm.

“Under the Boardwalk”

One of the most popular features of Evans Farm will be the connectivity throughout the neighborhood. The boardwalk, found in the heart of Central Park will allow residents a shortcut to travel to nearby amenities. In addition, the 2019 BIA Parade of Homes’ visitors will have easy access to all 14 homes.

In keeping with our vision of sustainability, this boardwalk is constructed using mostly recycled materials. The Evans Farm staff reused old telephone poles that were pulled from the entrance of Evans Farm Drive for the foundation. The decking planks were milled from trees that were removed onsite.

Greenhouse & Nursery

Evans Farm’s greenhouse and nursery has been relocated since last growing season. It can be found on Shanahan Road, just north of North Road. Already this growing season we have several oaks, sycamores, buckeyes and other seeds planted. In addition, some of our older trees, in the nursery are starting to bud. It’s a good sign that spring is finally here!
