Christopher builds custom homes valleywide

Christopher Homes' custom division has expanded to accommodate clients throughout the Las Vegas Valley, according to Mark Stuhmer, division vice president.

"Until recently, our home building activities were predominantly on the western edge of Las Vegas, including such neighborhoods as Country Club Hills, Palisades, Vineyards and Bellacere in Summerlin; and also San Michelle in Queensridge," Stuhmer said.

"We soon realized that many prospective buyers were touring our model homes and saying they loved a certain residential design, but wished we were building it on their favorite side of town, or on a specific golf course, or perhaps along a lake. As a result, we greatly expanded and revised our custom-home program to accommodate people who appreciate the beauty and elegance of a Christopher home, but would prefer to have their own choice of community and home site."

The division currently has more than two dozen homes under way in communities such as Southern Highlands, Lake Las Vegas Resort, Seven Hills, Anthem, MacDonald Highlands and Summerlin.

"Our custom clients can have their residence built similar to one of our models, or they can utilize plans from dozens of our award-winning designs as a basis in the design/development phase of their own home," Stuhmer said. "Those who wish to highly customize can often combine features from different models and incorporate some of the most sought-after features in home building such as basements, elevators, detached casitas, wine cellars, fireside courtyards and much more. We can also help with the lot selection process and lend our expertise regarding local codes and the architectural review process in the various communities.

"The emphasis is on helping our clients create their personal dream home, without the hassles that are so often associated with designing and building a custom home from square one," he said. "...We have the finest in-house architectural designers, interior designers, purchasing agents, construction experts and customer service representatives. This ensures that our client's highest expectations can be realized with a minimum of guesswork and worry on their part."

The builder has a limited number of upgraded custom homes that are available for sale.

Information can be obtained in the sales office at Bellacere, which can be reached by taking Summerlin Parkway to Town Center Drive, going south to Alta Drive then heading east.

Office hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
