Heartland Homes, the well-known Metro East homebuilder known for several outstanding communities in the greater Southwestern Illinois area, has recently joined Stumpf Homes in building homes at Willow Bend.

              Heartland Homes has a remarkable “ready-now” Carlton ranch home filled with superb features at Willow Bend!  This professionally decorated 2,350 square foot split bedroom ranch masterpiece has three bedrooms, 2 ½ baths and boasts an exquisite elevation dominated by brick and stone, a transom window over the front entry and a 3-car garage with decorative glass in the garage doors.  Inside, prospective purchasers will discover a vaulted great room and foyer ceiling, extensive hardwood flooring, gas fireplace in the hearth room with granite surround, 42” glazed maple cabinetry topped with crown molding, granite kitchen counter tops, and a master suite which is secluded on its own side of the home.  The home includes a beautiful covered deck that is accessible from both the breakfast room and master suite.  The covered deck has stairs leading to the large recreational rear yard, which has plenty of space for a pool or large outdoor entertainment area.  This home is situated on a private cul-de-sac lookout homesite and includes a partially framed rear wall with five large windows.  The homesite is sodded and seeded, professionally landscaped, and has an in-ground sprinkler system.  This “ready-now” Carlton is yours for the remarkable price of $319,000.  This is obviously a dream price on a dream home, so hurry before this opportunity is gone.

              Stumpf Homes and Heartland Homes worked together to design and develop Willow Bend.  This intimate enclave is completely self-contained with only one-way in and one-way out for maximum privacy and safety and every one of the 20 sites are wide and expansive which guarantees there will be plenty of room between the homes.  Families who have their hearts set on a preferred cul-de-sac site will be happy to see there is a nice supply to pick from.  Heartland Homes prestigious portfolio starts from the $270’s and Stumpf Homes luxurious plans begin in the $280’s.  Willow Bend is convenient to Scott Air Force Base and Downtown St. Louis and best yet, it is located in the highly acclaimed Wolf Branch School District.

              One thing that buyers should pay close attention to, besides the very favorable savings, is the fact that Willow Bend only offers a total of 20 homes.  Other nearby communities have 100 to 200 homesites which means it may take several years of living with the dust and dirt from construction before they sell out.  Of course, at Willow Bend the residents won’t have to worry about any of this, because as soon as the 20 homes are sold, Willow Bend will be a beautiful completed community.

            To reach Willow Bend, open 11-5 daily, take Route 159 to east on Frank Scott Parkway, right on Old Collinsville Road, and right on Munie Road.
