COLUMBUS, OH -- M/I Homes Inc. has introduced a new "eco series" line of homes, which the builder describes as efficiently designed, economically priced, and ecologically smart homes.
Ranging from 1,265 to 2,350 square feet, every eco series home is 100% ENERGY STAR qualified, helping homeowners save up to 30% on annual energy costs. Base prices start at $120,000, reflecting today's socially conscious "less is more" attitude.
"We are offering a smart, new approach to homebuilding that addresses the way many people choose to live today," said Robert H. Schottenstein, Chairman and CEO of M/I Homes. "M/I Homes' new eco series is more efficient, environmentally responsible and affordable for those seeking a home in central Ohio."
Characteristics of the "eco series" from M/I Homes include:
--Kitchens that open to living areas, emphasizing natural light and clear sight lines
--Oversized garages allowing for additional storage
--Nine-foot first floor ceilings for a sense of openness
---Zone centers wired to allow connection/recharging of laptops, PDAs, phones, etc.
--Oversized master bedrooms with connected master bath and large walk-in closets
--Upstairs laundry rooms available for added convenience
The smart new eco series puts an emphasis on living efficiently and economically within an earth-friendly footprint. With a wide array of new architectural plans, buyers will have a number of distinct architectural choices.
M/I Homes launched the eco series on April 18, 2009, making it first available for purchase in the Columbus, Ohio market within selected M/I communities, including: Cedar Run, Cherry Landing, Hayden Farms, Scott Farms, Summerlyn, Upper Albany West, Villages at Sycamore and Waggoner Trace. M/I plans to offer the eco series in many of its other markets during the coming months. For more information, visit www.mihomes.com
