Florida Woman Handed Key to Tradition Hilton Head’s First-Ever HGTV Green Home


HARDEEVILLE – (Friday, June 27, 2008) Marsha Coulthard, a Bradenton, Fla., medical billing clerk who once lived in Bluffton, got her first look at and the key to her new HGTV Green Home at Core Communities’ Tradition Hilton Head in Hardeeville on Friday.

Dozens of HGTV designers, Green Home sponsors and suppliers and Tradition Hilton Head officials applauded as Coulthard walked up the front steps to the new home she won after her name was drawn among more than 21 million mail-in and online entries this spring.

“My house, it’s so pretty,” said Coulthard as she dabbed away tears with a tissue. “It’s all just too much.” She was joined by her son, Matt Souligne, also of Bradenton. HGTV Green Home Designer Jack Thomasson handed Coulthard the key to the eco-friendly, sustainable home.

Also, officials from General Motors in Detroit gave Coulthard keys to a 2008 Hybrid Yukon.

Coulthard and Souligne were then given a tour of their new home by Thomasson and co-designer Linda Woodrum, a Hilton Head Island interior designer.

Tradition Hilton Head Public Relations Director Martin Sauls IV welcomed Coulthard and Souligne to their new home.

“We are excited to have you as a member of our family here at Tradition Hilton Head,” Sauls said. “And Core Communities congratulates HGTV and all of their sponsors who helped build this wonderful home which serves as a symbol of Tradition Hilton Head’s commitment to building with respect and protection of the environment.”

Sponsor representatives on hand for Friday’s Green Home key presentation were Shaw Industries Inc., Sears, General Motors, SCJ, Kohler, Caesarstone and Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp.

In addition to the fully furnished home and the GMC Yukon hybrid, Coulthard also was given an electric Club Car golf cart by Tradition Hilton Head. The golf cart’s battery is recharged by electricity provided by roof-top solar panels, which also serve as supplemental power for the home. The home is a 2,000-square-foot Lowcountry cottage style, three-bedroom, two-story design by Savannah architects Dawson Wissmach.

The entire prize package is valued at approximately $850,000.

Tradition Hilton Head is a 5,300-acre master-planned, sustainable community in Hardeeville.
