This weekend, fellow builder and friend Todd Ehlers of Trinity Homes is unveiling the 2007 “House Of Hope,” sponsored by the Central Oklahoma Homebuilders Association.  Each year, COHBA’s charitable sub-organization called “Homebuilders Care” chooses one builder to construct this annual project and all proceeds are donated to a local children’s charity.  This year’s proceeds will benefit the Oklahoma Baptist Homes For Children organization.

Deziray and I toured the home last night during the private COHBA Preview Party, and I must say, the home is top-notch.  Priced in the mid-$300s, and located at 1117 SW 117th St in the Meadowlake Farms addition in South Oklahoma City, this 2,800+ square foot, 3-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home with study and flex room, would make a great family home for anyone in the market for such a home.  I’ve gotten to know Todd over the past several months and from what I’ve seen of both his personal integrity and the quality of his work, I would highly recommend checking out this, or any of his other homes.  The 2007 COHBA House Of Hope, which is available for purchase, will be open this weekend from 2-7pm each day.  Private showings outside of these hours can be scheduled by calling 401-6500.

Jeff Click Homes built the 2004 House Of Hope for COHBA and raised a record $70,000 that was distributed among 5 local children’s related charities including The Ronald McDonald House, Sky’s The Limit Ranch, YWCA Passageways, Calm Waters, and Make-A-Wish.  Based on what I saw last night, I both hope and expect that the proceeds from Todd’s home will break that record, providing quite a contribution to this year’s beneficiary.
