06/17/11 - Planning to make your move this summer?  Whether you’re in the market for a traditional single-family home or an easy-maintenance condominium, Fischer & Frichtel suggests you make Montecito your first stop. 

“With the sale prices we’re offering on our featured Showcase Inventories, you probably won’t want to look anywhere else,” added Kari Beanblossom, sales manager for the builder’s unique, “small town” multi-product neighborhood on Highway 94 in St. Charles County.

Condominium shoppers don’t have a minute to waste, though.  Only one more buyer has the chance to own in the tenth and final Terrace Condominium building at Montecito.  The “Madison III” is a split-bedroom, 2-bath plan with 1130 square feet of space, a covered deck, generous walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and a laundry room more than large enough for a full-size washer and dryer.

Close-out priced at $109,900, the Showcase model has been held at the drywall stage, allowing its future owner to choose interior colors.  The Madison III is located on the second floor and, like all condominiums in the village, is a sun-filled corner unit with windows on two sides.

A wide variety of homebuyers have found these quality-built, easy-care Fischer homes perfect for their busy lifestyles, and 119 have been sold.  Montecito’s neighborhood amenities – a delightful lakeside central park and walking trails – and the community’s exceptional location are major attractions, as well. 

It’s only a few minutes’ commute to the Highway 40 technology corridor and Chesterfield Valley; the second phase of the Page Extension, now nearing completion, is accessible from 94 at Mid Rivers Mall Drive; every imaginable shopping/dining/service complex can be found along 94; and a Gold’s Gym is situated right at Montecito’s entrance.

In the community’s single-family section, close to the park, a Showcase version of the “Winslow” two-story has just been completed and sale-priced at $229,900.  This charming Craftsman-styled home is a tremendous value with its nearly 2200 square feet of space, three bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, 9-foot main-floor ceilings, 42-inch maple cabinets, stylish stainless steel appliances, and luxury master bath with double-bowl vanity. 

“The Winslow is a great opportunity for the family with school-age children,” Beanblossom observed.  “They can be moved in and settled before the start of the fall term, and there are plenty of things for the kids to enjoy here during the rest of the summer.”  She invites questions at 636-477-2705, and floorplans and directions to Montecito are posted on the company website, FandFHomes.com
