By Kevin WeaKsIt’s the most affordable way to become

a homeowner, but you don’t have to give up any of the luxury at Dettmer Homes’ new Bramblett Crossing Condominiums, which start in the $120s. Plus, qualified first-time homebuyers get a tax credit of up to $8,000.

And there’s one more thing: “We are right at the intersection of Mexico Road and Hwy. K, so location doesn’t get much better,” said Scott Dettmer.

A tax credit of up to $8,000 is available for qualified first-time home buyers pur-chasing a principal residence on or after Jan. 1, 2009 and before Dec. 1, 2009. The law defines “first-time home buyer” as a buyer who has not owned a principal resi-dence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.

Bramblett Crossing Condominiums, when completed, will consist of 20 build-ings with 12 units in each. The low-main-tenance, garden-style condominiums are unusually large with a spacious 1,119 square feet of living space that includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a dining area, kitchen with breakfast bar, large living room with porch or patio view and a full-sized laundry room. Upper level condos

have vaulted ceilings.“We have more standard features in these

than some builders have in their single-family homes,” Dettmer said.

Covered parking is available, and resi-dents will enjoy a community pool and pool house and 8 acres of common ground.

Uniquely in these condominiums, both

the first and second floors have ground level access. The community will have a pool and pool house when completed, and low-maintenance living.

“Currently we have nine inventory units nearing completion and ready for quick occupancy,” said Dettmer.

Watch for news about the grand opening this month. Meanwhile, you can arrange a sneak preview by calling 240-4082.

By Kevin WeaKsGot a dollar? If you’re a first–time

homebuyer or haven’t owned a home in three years, all you need is a dollar down this weekend to move into a new, carefree condominium at Greater Missouri Build-ers’ Greendale Manor or Queensbrooke Village condominium - all thanks to the $8,000 federal home buyer tax credit and GMB’s “once-in-a-lifetime” price reduc-tions to $124,900.

Greendale Manor, located just south of I-70 off Old Hwy. 94 next to First State Bank in St. Charles, features spacious two-bedroom, two-bath condomin-ium homes for adults age 55 and up and priced from $124,900. There is an on-site activity center with library, coffee bar and com-puter facilities. Greendale is completely ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible.

These 56 condos are config-ured in two four-story buildings with elevators and secure storage facilities and boast a wonderful list of stan-dard features like 9-foot ceilings, white two-panel doors with colonist trim, laundry enclosure for full-sized machines, designer lighting, Whirlpool self-cleaning oven with smooth-top range and hood, dishwasher, adult-height vanities in all baths, master bath shower with fold-down seat, grab bar and shower door, and even an in-home computer package with Internet communi-cation and covered parking for one car. To visit Greendale Manor take I-70 to Hwy. 94 south (First Capitol) to right on Sherman Drive. Call 314-941-8485.

Just south of Greendale Manor off Hwy. 94 and Harvester Road is Queensbrooke Village, where just a dollar lets you enjoy

“Urban Living in suburban St. Peters.” Queensbrooke Village, also now from $124,900, features stylish, 1,100-square-foot, two-bedroom condos in a 24-unit elevator building. Priced from $124,900, all have a long list of standard features that include Whirlpool appliances with smooth surface range and space-saver microwave, two-panel doors with lever handles, 9 foot ceilings, and full-sized laundry room. Top-

floor condos have vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom suite has a bay window, walk-in closet and bath with walk-in shower. Each condo has an assigned cov-ered parking place.

Incidentally, only two popular town-home models – a two-bedroom and a three-bedroom - remain at Queens-brooke. Each features a two-car garage and both are priced at $169,000. To visit Queensbrooke Village take Hwy. 94 (First Capitol) to north on Harvester Road to left on Queens Brooke Boulevard to left on Queens Court Place then left on St. James Court. Call 314-941-8485.

Both communities are open Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

By Kevin WeaKsWith only four homesites remaining at

Locksley Crossing in Lake Saint Louis, Helmut Weber Construction is treating buyers to unprecedented closeout sav-ings. Because these homesites are not built on, buyers still can choose from 12 floor plans that include ranches, two-stories, and story-and-a-half models in a variety of square footages to meet the needs of both down-sizing and expanding families.

Plus, Weber is now offering two styl-ish inventory homes in time for fall move-in. The two-story Craftsman-style, 3,000-square-foot “Birch” with four bed-rooms, bonus room and three-car garage is now priced at just $285,900.

Also just completed is the popular “Willow” a two-story with over 3,500 square feet and priced to sell at just $329,900. Both inven-tories for sale include fully sodded yards and landscape packages. To see all the additional features included visit hwcstl.com or the com-munity today. Take Hwy. 40 or Lake Saint Louis Boulevard. to north on Technology Drive to the com-munity. Call 379-2009 or 314-401-3208 to schedule an appointment.

“Country charm” describes the ambi-ence of Falcon Crest in nearby O’Fallon, recently voted one of Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live.” One of the few loca-tions where you can still find single family homes offering affordability coupled with unprecedented craftsmanship and starting from the upper $170s.

Falcon Crest features a new “country cottage” look that deviates from the typi-cal styles that have saturated the market.

“We’ve brought a new trend in housing to buyers who want exciting new construc-tion in O’Fallon at an affordable price,” said sales manager Sheila Knutson. Living spaces will range from 1,200 to 2,100 square feet and include many upgrade fea-tures that are standard in their base price.

A two-story inventory home is avail-able for immediate move in. Priced at just $204,900 it has too many upgrades to list. This home is priced for fast sale and geared towards first-time homebuyers wanting to take advantage of the tax credit that ends on Dec. 1, 2009.

Take I-70 to north on Hwy. K-M, which changes to Main Street, and then turn west on Civic Park Drive to right on Emge and

then stay on Emge as it winds back left into Falcon Crest on the left, and turn onto Sunset Lane. Call 379-2009.
