Dreaming of your own little piece of Italy? Affinity Homes’ Tuscan-inspired Bella Vista has just what you’re looking for. A one-of-a-kind community conveniently located in St. Peters, near the intersection of Hwy. 94 and the Page Avenue Extension, Bella Vista features warm and charming single-family homes built with expert craftsmanship, natural textures and innovative architectural features.

Only open a short while, this new-home destination has already become a hit with homebuyers. “And now that the streets are poured and finished, interested buyers will be able to tour the community to pick out their homesites with ease,” says Community Sales Manager Sheri Luster. “Stop by the sales office today to get the best selection of homesites, because they are filling up fast.

This beautiful neighborhood features 139 single-family homes innovatively designed and priced from $240’s to $400’s. Not to mention its convenience to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. “The good news about being near the Page Avenue Extension is that it provides a short commute to Clayton, West Port and the West County areas,” Luster notes. Those with children will be pleased to know that Bella Vista serves the highly desirable Francis Howell School District.

In addition to its prime location, Bella Vista offers six impressive and spacious models including ranch, 1 ½-story and two-story designs. “Our ranch models have 1,685-2,060 square feet of living space, and the 1 ½-story and two-story designs will have between 2,160-3,100 square feet of living space,” says Luster. “Each plan has three to five bedrooms and 2 to 3 ½ baths, allowing plenty of room for a growing family or for entertaining guests.”

“These are all new designs that have never been seen before. Each model has its own unique character with brick, stone and siding exteriors with steeply pitched or elegantly swooping rooflines. These are features you don’t see in this price range.”

For example, the exceptional 1 ½-story Estancia design is a flexible plan which will accommodate four-five bedrooms, 2 ½ - 4 ½ baths, has a spacious 2,788 square feet of living space and an oversized two-car garage.

“The dramatic two-story living room or great room with a fireplace is the ideal place to gather with family and friends. Also conveniently located on the first floor is the master suite, laundry room and powder room. The spacious kitchen and breakfast room includes a center island, optional T.V. niche, optional butler’s pantry or planning desk and plenty of cabinet space,” adds Luster.

“Even better, the second level includes a highly desirable bonus room/loft area,” Luster notes. “There’s even an option of adding a media center in the bonus room, creating the perfect den or office area.” Base price of the Estancia is $280,350.

“Best yet, every Bella Vista home comes complete with a two-car garage or with the option of a three-car garage on a select number of sites, abundant walk-in closets, Whirlpool kitchen appliances and luxurious master suites, just to name a few. Even more, the standard features included at Bella Vista such as 9’ first-floor ceilings, carriage-style garage doors and Perma Cast porch columns, are not typically standard on homes in this price range,” says Luster. “The homes also feature many built-ins like bookcases, media niches and window seats and eye-catching architectural details like rich interior finishes with dark wood, warm tones and natural textures.”

Using techniques such as Optimum Value Engineering, Affinity includes many features that help create the character that you see in the older neighborhoods of St. Louis. “Providing a positive homebuilding experience for our customers is one of our founding principles,” says Luster. “Our philosophy is to build spacious, family-friendly, and stylish homes at affordable prices with several levels of luxury offered to personalize your new home.”
