Payne Family Homes makes its debut in O’Fallon, MO!

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Payne Family Homes seems to have found the key to success, gaining prominence in the regional St. Louis market in just a few short years.  Already recognized with numerous awards for construction excellence, Payne Family currently offers 10 residential communities in St. Charles, St. Peters, Cottleville, Wentzville, Fenton, and Eureka – and is about to make its initial entry into O’Fallon (MO).

 The company’s newest acquisition consists of 44 attached villa sites in Walden Pond, an established, multi-product development located off Elaine Drive, north of Interstate 70, in North O’Fallon.  The community portfolio will feature three villa designs that have been wildly popular with the full spectrum of homebuyers in The Pointe at Heritage Crossing, a Payne Family neighborhood in St. Peters, plus two new plans that have recently made their debut.

Grouped in pairs, the various models are offered in ranch, story-&-a-half, and two-story styles, with 1338 to 2424 square feet on the main levels.  All include a 2-car garage and full basement, which can be finished for additional living space.  Several attractive new elevations will also be unveiled at Walden Pond, showcasing assorted combinations of brick, stone, stucco, shake, and siding.

A sneak peak of one of the exterior elevation options of the villa homes offered at Walden Pond!

 According to Shawn Arterburn, vice president of operations, “It’s the pricing structure for these quality-built villa homes that is most likely to impress our customers.  The collection is based from the $130’s, which is an amazing price point for this product line.” 

 The Agenda

Walden Pond’s temporary onsite sales center to opened to the public last weekend and Grand Opening is projected for spring.  Construction of Walden Pond’s “Earhart” display, a 1444-square-foot ranch with two bedrooms and two full baths, is expected to begin shortly.  Shoppers can also experience one of the models offered at Walden Pond, the “Keller“, which is now on display in The Pointe. 

Wonderfully livable and ideal for entertaining, the Earhart’s activity areas – living room, dining room, and kitchen – are completely open and extend the full depth of the home.  Flexibility, is another feature Payne will be showcasing at Walden Pond.  Two of the floorplans offered provide buyers with the ability to build up, or down, or both!  Payne’s “Earhart” display will be highlighting the optional 2nd floor plan offered in a loft or 3rd bed/3rd bath configuration–providing buyers with ample flexibility to have guest quarters, space for grandkids, holiday quarters for a child returning from college, crafting room, reading nook, 2nd office, and much more!

Although all of the walk-out and ingrade sites are available for purchase, prime site selection isn’t the only good reason to be among the early villa owners at Walden Pond.  Payne Family Homes is offering a valuable Preview Special – one year of free Homeowner Association dues (including provided exterior maintenance services) plus $2,500 toward closings – to pre-grand opening buyers.

 A Great Place to Live

Highly selective in its choice of geographic locations, Payne Family Homes carefully evaluates the anticipated “lifestyle considerations” of each community’s future residents – commuter access, quality schools, and nearby commercial, recreational, and entertainment amenities.  And the City of O’Fallon certainly meets – and exceeds – those standards.

Twice ranked among America’s “100 Best Places to Live” by Money magazine, O’Fallon offers a wealth of shopping, dining, and recreational opportunities, including 475 acres of city parks and Renaud Spirit Center, with its state-of-the-art fitness, sports, and aquatic facilities.  Public education is provided by the top-rated Fort Zumwalt School District.

Affordable pricing.  Award-winning quality.  Easy-maintenance living.  A fabulous location.  And outstanding customer service.  Walden Pond is destined to be a winner!

Interested villa buyers can inquire about Walden Pond with Community Sales Manager, Jane Peacock, by simply calling (314)-996-9909, clicking www.PayneFamilyHomes.com, or stopping by!  You can also request more information by clicking here and directions to Walden Pond can be found here.

New Homesites, New Plans at Ohmes Farm!

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Payne Family Homes has announced the acquisition of 157 additional homesites in two villages at Ohmes Farm, a 250-acre, master-planned community on Ohmes Road in St. Peters.

According to community sales manager Brooke Mayer, the decision was based on Payne’s brisk sales tempo in The Meadows at Ohmes Farm.  Featuring the builder’s newest and most popular single-family design collections, the 59-homesite village is already nearly half-sold.

“This is a great neighborhood in an outstanding location,” Mayer stated.  “St. Peters is ranked among MONEY Magazine’s Best Places to Live in America.  People want to live here – and we’re ready to accommodate them!”

In The Meadows, Payne Family Homes will continue to offer the Vision Series, starting from $179,900, and the Lifestyle Series, based from $204,900.  Both hot-selling portfolios were designed in response to customer requests and emphasize highly functional, adaptable living spaces, as represented by the “Meridian” display, a spacious split-bedroom ranch that is open for touring daily.

Now, however, buyers have the choice of 125 newly-added single-family homesites in The Crossings at Ohmes Farm.  Grouped around nine cul-de-sacs and ranging in size from 10,000 to 27,000 square feet, the lots have 80-foot frontages, and some are wooded or back to trees.

The Crossings showcases all 12 Lifestyle plans, plus the “San Marino,” an upscale ranch with enduring customer appeal.   Pricing starts from $229,900, and several characteristics will distinguish the homes in this fashionable village, including all-premium elevations and a standard 3-car front-entry garage.

The Crossings’ generous homesites also allow for a variety of unique garage configurations.  Purchasers can opt for a 3-car garage with one front entry and two side entries, and 4-car tandem garages are available, as well.

“Keeping up with demand for inventory homes has been a real challenge in this neighborhood,” Mayer remarked, “so we already have our first inventory home under construction.”  The wildly popular “Breckenridge II“, with four bedrooms and nearly 3,400 square feet of living space will be available for a Spring 2012 move-in.

There’s exciting news for buyers hoping to enjoy easy-maintenance living at Ohmes Farm, too!  Payne Family Homes is introducing detached villas in The Chateaux, a private, 42-site enclave located at the development’s northern perimeter.

“We’ve had tremendous success with villas elsewhere in St. Charles County, and buyers are going to be thrilled to find this lifestyle option now available here at Ohmes Farm,” said Mayer.

Payne’s all-new Chateaux collection is comprised of four free-standing ranches with wonderfully innovative floorplans with 2-3 bedrooms and 1300 to 1750 square feet on the main level.  Notable standard amenities include 2-car garages, handsome brick-&-stone elevations, architectural shingles, aggregate driveways and 4-foot-wide walks, and lawn irrigation systems.

Full basements allow for finished lower levels, and villa customers also have the unique option of adding an upper-level “eagle’s nest” on select plans.

The newly-designed “Hamilton” is under construction as The Chateaux’s display model and is projected to be open for viewing in early Spring 2012.

Here's a sneak peak of what the Hamilton Display at The Chateaux at Ohmes Farm is going to look like!

Payne Family Homes’ expanded offering is clearly the “pick of the crop” at Ohmes Farm, and Mayer encourages homebuyers to ask about special incentives currently in effect in all three villages.

For more information you can call Brooke Mayer at 314-713-0838, stop into our Sales Center located at 712 Magnolia Trails Lane, St. Peters, MO 63376, or visit us online anytime at www.PayneFamilyHomes.com.  You can also simply request more information by clicking here!

Internet “Match” Leads to the Ideal Payne Family Home

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Wedding bells will be ringing for Joel Lester and Saretta Wade at the Jewel Box in Forest Park on October 7, with Saretta’s 9-year-old daughter Alexis proudly serving as junior bridesmaid.  (Correction! – that’s nine-and-a-half, according to this vivacious, articulate 4th-grader.) Joel is a native St. Louisan.  Saretta was born and raised in Tupelo, Mississippi.  So, how did this stunning young couple meet back in 2008?  Silly question in today’s cyber-world! – on the Internet, of course.  And how did they find their gorgeous new Payne Family Home in The Pointe at Heritage Crossing?  Well, that story is a bit more complicated…

Saretta had already moved to the St. Louis area, where she’s employed as a labor and delivery nurse for St. John’s Hospital.  Joel is a Web and graphic designer for AT&T and a talented part-time photographer.  Once “matched,” the two found themselves going in opposite directions, each relocating to and from Atlanta at different times.  Eventually, though, they decided to marry and put down roots in St. Louis. Finding the right home for their family-to-be was at the top of the priority list.  But Joel was still in Atlanta, and Saretta was living in St. Charles.  So, Joel arranged for a local Realtor to do the legwork, then Saretta would tour the suggested homes.  Staying in the Francis Howell School District was important to mom, and easy commuter access was a must for this busy professional couple.

 From her first visit to the sales center at The Pointe, Saretta was impressed by the warm welcome she received from community sales manager Julie Jones and her staff.  And the two-story Breckenridge display was love at first sight!  “It was exactly what we wanted – big, open, and free-flowing,” Saretta recalls.  “From that moment on, nothing else measured up.”

 The couple made relatively few alterations to the basic floorplan, but were amazed by Payne Family’s willingness to personalize, saying, “Most other builders wouldn’t let us make any changes.” Joel flew in to finalize the contract on Valentine’s Day (symbolic?), and construction began under the meticulous supervision of builder Dave Wilcockson.  Once reestablished back in St. Louis, Joel visited the site every day.  Both he and Saretta appreciated the friendliness of Payne’s field personnel, who always invited them to inspect the home’s progress and quality, insisting, “This is your house!”

 When asked to describe the best aspects of their homebuilding experience, the pair chime, “The company’s timeliness, flexibility, and the personable treatment we received.  Even our Realtor was singing Payne’s praises!”

 ”We were very happy with Dave,” Saretta added.  “At the beginning, all we worried about was getting moved in before the wedding, but the house was actually completed ahead of schedule.”  And all three are delighted with every facet of their new home. One of the Breckenridge’s four spacious bedrooms serves as Joel’s office, the other as guest accommodations.  Saretta loves her second-floor laundry, and the unique kitchen flooring is a highlight for Joel.  Alexis has started school, found several neighborhood playmates, and is thrilled with the color of her room (a yummy shade of her favorite blue called “Dazzle”).

Just glowing in front of their new Breckenridge at The Pointe!

What amazing work Joel does!

So, all that’s left is to wish this lovely family a joyous wedding and every blessing as they begin their new life together.

Just two minutes from the juncture of Highway 94 and the Page Extension, The Pointe at Heritage Crossing is one of our most successful residential communities, featuring single family homes from $177,900 and attached & detached villas from the mid-$160s.  For more informatio

Payne Family Homes “Makes it Happen” for Ohmes Farm Homeowners

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

It was a surprisingly quiet Saturday afternoon in the Siders’ gorgeous new Payne Family home at Ohmes Farm.  Thirteen-year-old Spencer was in his “man cave”; toddlers Maggie and Hayden were down for their naps; and cherubic, copper-haired Anna, age 3, cheerfully abandoned the cartoons she’d been watching to supervise the interview with her parents.

Mom and dad to these active youngsters, Mackenzie and Ben Siders are a classic example of two highly successful young professionals who found their ideal “match” on the Internet.  Ben is an attorney with the Lewis Rice law firm, specializing in technology litigation.  Formerly a senior project manager with Express Scripts, Mackenzie now devotes her considerable management skills to organizing their busy household.

 By last year, the Siders family had outgrown their West County house, and Ben and Mackenzie began an intensive six-month search that included both pre-owned homes and new construction.  Space was a priority, and the couple had a clear vision of the home they wanted.

 Ultimately, their real estate agent found the perfect floorplan – a “Breckenridge II” two-story, one of 12 designs featured in Payne Family Homes’ Lifestyle Series and offered in several of the builder’s communities.  The logical neighborhood choice was Ohmes Farm, an expansive multi-village development in St. Peters, where Mackenzie’s brother was already a resident and her father lived nearby.

 “Payne Family gave us the most home for the money,” Ben maintains, “and unlike many other builders, they were extremely flexible.”  In fact, the couple laughingly describe their home as a “guinea pig project,” explaining that this was the first time Payne had built the Breckenridge II with the modifications they requested. 

 Assisted by Payne’s community sales manager, the Siders’ adapted the plan to include six bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths, a loft, and a home office.  “It’s hard to put your dream together on paper,” Mackenzie noted.  “We’re reasonable but particular, and we wouldn’t have the same house if it weren’t for her.”

 Construction began the first week of January, with continual site inspections by one or both of the new homeowners.  “We rarely found anything amiss,” Ben recalls, “and anything we did find was addressed quickly.”

 Both attribute the smooth construction process to builder Bruce Wilson, and their assessment of his performance can only be described as glowing:  [He] “inspired tremendous confidence”; “was in charge”; “knew what he was talking about”; “got things done”; “definitely above and beyond.”  “The subs Payne works with are excellent, too – consultative and helpful,” Mackenzie added.

 Comfortably settled in their new home, the family celebrated with an open house in earlier this summer, proudly accepting enthusiastic compliments on the quality and styling from their guests.  But this excerpt from Mackenzie’s thank-you note to company headquarters may be the best summary of the Siders’ experience with Payne Family Homes:

 ”We’re trying to get all of our friends and family to move here!… We’re extremely pleased…  It didn’t matter what I asked for, you guys always tried to make it happen!… Service was great.  House is even better!”

Open daily, Ohmes Farm fronts Ohmes Road in St. Peters and showcases two of Payne Family Homes’ most popular single-family collections – a grand total of 20 home designs.  Pricing starts from $189,900, and details may be obtained by simply clicking here or by contacting Ashley, Payne Family Homes’ Online Sales Consultant.

Playing Host This New Year’s Eve

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

So you just found out you’re playing host this New Year’s Eve for your neighborhood friends. But don’t worry—there’s no need to stress or panic. Of course you want to have a fun party with fun decorations, food and drink (and Ryan Seacrest). Well, thanks to Better Homes and Gardens, we’re here to compile a quick New Year’s Eve to-do list for you!

Keep convenience in mind. When you’re deciding what foods to get and where to set everything up, make sure you spread things out and make getting around easy for your guests. Stick with finger foods for the evening—the easier, the better! A fun touch can be creating a menu card that lists the foods available. A fashionable (yet inexpensive) menu card lets your guests know what you’re offering and adds a touch of décor to the buffet line. Also, keep the adult beverage tray off to the side, away from the food and sitting areas. Create as much space as you can.

Pick a color scheme. This can be quite easy—popular New Year’s Eve colors include white and silver. Sometime sticking with this mix is the best idea—silver and white balloons, stars, and other simple touches will give the party a nice ring!

The kids are alright. It’s one thing to entertain adults (sometimes all you need is the champagne and pigs in a blanket). But don’t forget to have activities on hand for the little ones—coloring, separate TV room, and mess-free drinks and snacks (if that’s ever possible). You can even have some of the adults work with them on creating party hats for the ball drop at midnight!

Give them something to remember. Party favors are always a hit for New Year’s Eve. Depending on your budget, consider glassware, personalized party hats, or small cards with the date and place of the party. Most importantly… have fun with it!

Are you hosting or attending a neighborhood or family party for New Year’s Eve? Let us know what decorations or plans you have in mind!

Payne Family Homeowner Describes Her New Villa as the “Best Reward”

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

“Terrie, you deserve this!” chorused Terrie DuHadway’s friends as they lifted champagne flutes and toasted her mid-November move into a stunning new detached luxury villa in The Pointe at Heritage Crossing, Payne Family Homes’ multi-product neighborhood in St. Peters.

Terrie’s response illustrates the gracious personality of this world-traveling professional and proud mother of three. “The best reward,” she replied, “is to live the way you want to.”

An executive publisher of medical journals with Elsevier, Terrie raised her children, now all in their twenties, in a large two-story home in St. Charles County. By the fall of 2009, the youngest was off to college, and Terrie was ready for a more manageably-sized home-– one that would free her from yardwork, allow her to enjoy the “empty-nester” lifestyle, and still provide plenty of space for entertaining, family gatherings, and the collegians coming home for school breaks.

Accompanied by a close friend, Terrie embarked on an exhaustive new-home search. The Pointe was one of their first stops, and Terrie found herself returning again and again. “I fell in love with the open floorplan of the Cape Cod ranch display, and nothing else ever compared,” she recalls.

Last spring, she made her purchase decision and, in spite of the slow housing market, her existing home sold quickly. Another good friend welcomed Terrie, her dog Isabelle, and cat Paco as house guests while the Cape Cod was under construction, a kindness for which Terrie is most grateful.

What followed was a picture-perfect homebuilding experience. According to Julie Jones, community sales manager for The Pointe, “Terrie is the homeowner we wish we had every time! She has great taste and a terrific sense of humor. When I stopped by with her housewarming gift, she even had gifts waiting for us!”

Terrie was equally appreciative of Jones’ expertise, saying, “The choices [with Payne Family] are endless, and Julie could visualize exactly what I wanted. It was fun!”  Superintendent Dave Wilcoxen earned similar accolades. “Dave went through every detail with me! After meeting with him, I knew my house would be built well and built right.”

Terrie personalized a few design elements, chose a contemporary décor, and finished the villa’s lower level with an optional recreation area, sewing studio, and a third bedroom suite (dubbed the “man cave”) for her son. Progress photos were sent to the kids regularly via phone (the newly-dug foundation was humorously labeled “our hole”), and future neighbors stopped by the site often, assuring Terrie that she would love living in The Pointe.

The elegant villa was completed in time for a gala Thanksgiving celebration. “My kids are thrilled,” she concludes, “and I feel like I’m living in a luxury vacation home!”

Blessed with a wonderful family, great friends, treasured pets, and a gorgeous new home, Terrie DuHadway is enjoying the “best reward”… living just the way she wants to in The Pointe.

Staying Cozy While Conserving Energy: Winter Tips For Your Home

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Fiscal conservation is all the rage these days, isn’t it? And as Old Man Winter begins to bear down on us, energy conservation becomes equally as important for homeowners whom are trying to save as much energy and money as possible.

Payne Family Homes knows how critical it can be to save even the smallest of amounts on your home heating costs. We want to share with you some conventional energy-saving tips that can make your bills more bearable and your holidays happier!

  • 68 is your new favorite number. Setting your thermostat to 68 degrees will allow your system to use less energy by operating less. And as you leave the house or head upstairs for bed, don’t hesitate to turn the thermostat down an additional 5 degrees to conserve additional energy. There is no use in using the heat when no one is home or awake. You can also purchase an inexpensive programmable thermostat to automatically adjust your home’s temperatures when you are sleeping our out of the home.
  • Here comes the sun. Little darling, take advantage of what Mother Nature has to offer—free sunlight. Open your south-facing window shades or coverings to let natural light in. At the same time, make sure those that cannot receive sunlight are closed. Close all the coverings at night to retain the heat and insulate from drafts.
  • Something scary is in your attic. That would be the lack of insulation that’s haunting you in the wintertime. Insulating your attic is an investment, but it’s also one of the most cost-effective methods to save costs in your home. Depending on what you plan to insulate (walls, crawlspace, etc.), you may need a contractor for assistance or consultation.
  • Payne can be a good thing! Payne Family Homes is working hard for our customers. Our Lifestyle Series offers an energy savings package which includes higher efficiency furnace and higher seer air conditioner, low-E windows, digital programmable thermostat, power cost monitor and higher r-values in the ceiling insulation. We try to practice what we preach, so feel free to contact us with any questions about our energy saving applications!

Of course, regardless of the home you’re in, there are other daily subtle changes that can help. Using cold water in your washing machine, running the dishwasher only when completely full, and closing the fireplace damper when not in use are effective and routine tasks that can save you money.

What are other ways you can save energy and prepare your home for the wintertime?
