Spring is just around the corner! With these teasing temperatures and the preview of the spring storms we’ve had, are just reminders that spring is closer than we think. And, believe it or not, all the snow that came this winter will actually help us with our gardening this year.
So, who is excited for spring and the chance to start gardening and doing some home improvements? St. Louis is! The St. Louis Builders Home & Garden Show is this weekend, March 3-6.
From the 34th Annual St. Louis Home & Garden Show website, the show is described as:
“The St. Louis Builders Home & Garden Show is the largest quality consumer home show in North America. More than 500 exhibitors and 1,800 booths will fill almost 400,000 square feet of America’s Center and Edward Jones Dome in downtown St. Louis! The show has been in existence for more than 30 years and is the place for area consumers to see, touch, compare and buy everything they need for their homes and gardens.
The Builders Home and Garden Show is actually 5 complete shows in one – Lawn and Garden, Pool and Spa, Kitchen & Bath, Interior Design and Building Products. Enormous feature gardens, local and national celebrity speakers and family fun areas are just a few of the reasons this show is a must-see. If there is something you need for your home or garden, you’ll find it here!”
Will you be there? Is there anything you have on your to-do list for this Spring? Time to revitalize your home? Been thinking about updating your kitchen? Adding a deck or multi-season room? Opening up your living spaces – or adding more? If home improvements are on the list, remember Fischer and Frichtel is here to help!

New Home News recently featured Fischer and Frichtel in their latest Home Builder news. As always, Fischer and Frichtel is very grateful for the feature, loved the article and wanted to share it with all of you.
“Responding to market demand last summer, Fischer & Frichtel set aside several homesites at Kendall Bluffs in Chesterfield for detached Luxury Villas and unveiled a new ‘Auburn II’ display in the prestigious all-villa community.
Buyer interest in the free-standing Auburn plans was immediate and, only a few months later, the display had already been purchased. Construction of another detached model began right away, and community Sales Manager John Fister will be moving into the 2011 Auburn show home shortly.
Spread along the majestic bluffs overlooking the Missouri River west of Olive Boulevard and two miles north of Highway 40, Kendall Bluffs has been a haven for affluent West County downsizers and professionals who enjoy the fashionable Chesterfield lifestyle and don’t have the time or inclination for exterior home maintenance.
Last spring, however, the trend changed. According to Fister, ‘We began welcoming more ‘snowbirds’ – people who own additional homes in more temperate climates and only spend a few months of the year here in St. Louis. While here, though, they want a luxury home that’s manageably-sized, yet spacious enough to entertain family and friends.’
As a result, timing became a key issue for Fischer & Frichtel. ‘These villa customers aren’t in town long enough to build and are looking for a completed home,’ Fister explained. ‘So, we shifted our focus, developing a supply of Showcase Inventories either owner-ready or available for move-in within a short period of time.’
Fister noted that even the new Auburn display is for sale to the buyer in need of quick occupancy. Offered at $511,618, this exquisite 2-bedroom ranch encompasses more than 2000 square feet and features a 2-car garage, 9-foot and designer ceilings, transom windows, granite countertops and premium appliances, extensive hardwood flooring, and security and lawn irrigation systems. Rough-ins for a full bath and wet bar on the lower level allow for future expansion and approximately 1000 square feet of additional living space.
Another detached Auburn is currently at the framing stage, leaving only seven of the homesites reserved for detached Luxury Villas open for purchase.
Two Showcase versions of the ‘Campton,’ Kendall Bluffs’ most popular attached ranch plan, are also available and include 3-car garages. On Homesite 61 is a finished and lavishly customized Campton, dramatically reduced to $695,509. The Campton on Site 28 has been held at the framing stage for completion to owner specification.
