Freedom of Expression Fischer & Frichtel's Montecito in St. Charles

From The Outset, It Was a Bold Concept
A master-planned development that would recapture the nostalgic, friendly atmosphere of “small town” America.  A variety of  “life-cycle” product lines that would appeal to the broadest spectrum of homebuyers at one single location.  A neighborhood that would bridge the generation gap, bring together residents of all ages, and offer homeowners the freedom to transition from one housing product to another as their needs and lifestyles changed.

Blending the latest in architectural design with the warmth, comfort, and convenience of neighborhoods from a gentler era, Fischer & Fritchtel drew from the past to create the gracious “hometown” environment that is Montecito.

Planned for more than 320 families, Montecito enjoys one of the most desirable, close-in residential locations still available in St. Charles County.  The tree-lines, 73.8-acre property extends along Highway 94 between Mid Rivers Mall Drive and Wolfrum Road, providing quick access to both highway 40 and the Page Avenue bridge.  Chesterfield is just a 10-minute drive from the neighborhood entrance.

Fischer & Frichtel’s various attached and detached home designs were created specifically for Montecito and are grouped into distinct villages that are unified by a consistent architectural theme.

Sidewalk-lined avenues wind through the community and walking trails meander through the grounds, encouraging neighborly interaction.  At the heart of the neighborhood is a beautifully landscaped, 5-acre park that has become a favorite gathering place for residents with its sparkling lake and 30-foot fountain.

A Homestyle for Almost Any Lifestyle
Like any real “town,” Montecito allows for diverse tastes and Lifestyles.  Fischer & Frichtel’s 72 unique Carriage Home Condominiums sold out in record time, and only a handful of ownership opportunities remain in the Portico Home village, which offers traditional, single-family living on manageably-sized home sites.

Pricing for Portico Homes starts in the low $230’s, and the various models emphasize the charm and sophistication of modernized Craftsman styling with the nostalgic detailing, carriage-style garage doors, and quaint front porches.

Fischer & Frichtel launched the new year with two brand new displays in Montecito’s carefree Terrace Condominium village.  Seven of the village’s 11 planned walk-up and elevator buildings are now completed.  Each houses 12 residences-all sunny corner units with two bedrooms, two baths, and a covered deck or patio, and pricing starts from an amazing economical $119,900!

Freedom Homes: Montecito’s Tour de Force
The fourth and final product line to be introduced, Freedom Home Detached Villas round out the comprehensive selection of lifestyle options at Montecito.

Based from $199,900, the Freedom Home collection features five luxurious, full-size, free-standing ranch and story-&-a-half designs, with yard care, snow and trash removal, and other exterior maintenance services provided to owners.

Forty-eight prime home sites grouped around three cul-de-sacs comprise The Enclave at Montecito, a separate section earmarked elusively for Freedom Homes.  The village offers some of the most private, scenic home settings in the community, and more than half are walk-outs.

Open for touring daily, the “Newport II” display model represents three new ranch plans added to the detached Villa portfolio last fall, and several Showcase Inventories are currently sale-priced and available for immediate possession in The Enclave..
