Courter Homes

Exceptional Designs Created

with Extraordinary Craftsmanship

By Christine Von Kantor

When you combine a company that is built on the strong business principles of honesty, integrity, and guaranteed customer service with a president who constructs each home as if it were to be his own residence, the end result is a product of unparalleled excellence and a totally satisfied homeowner.

"Courter Homes will never sacrifice quality or the personal attention that is given to each customer. When an individual chooses Courter Homes as their builder, they can expect more than just a beautiful home-we strive to make the entire building experience a positive and enjoyable one," explains Chuck Courter, company founder and president. "We hire and closely supervise only the most skilled, professional subcontractors available, ensuring expert workman- ship in every comer of our customer's new home. All Courter Homes customers always have direct access to me throughout the building process. An open line of communication with the customer is estab- lished early in the building process, and our customers are continually updated on the progress of their new home through scheduled meetings with either myself, or the vice president of construction. It is our business philosophy that the customer's needs always come first."

Active in the home building industry since 1987, Chuck Courter has been involved in the construction of several hundred homes for some of the most successful developers in the nation. Courter Homes, Inc., which was founded in May 1997, is currently involved in many custom home projects throughout Pinellas and Hillsboro Counties, including:

bulletThe completion of Osprey Place, their exclusive subdivision in Dunedin-19 single-family home sites with homes designed around a Key West style of architecture;
bulletThe redevelopment of a $4 million lakefront property in Tampa.
bulletThe design and construction of a $1.1 million estate on the Intra-coastal Waterway in North Readington Beach

A Million-Dollar Dream

Currently in the permitting process, it is anticipated that this spectacular home will capture the architectural spirit and sophistication of the Mediterranean, while combining state-of - the-art technology with flawless craftsmanship and creative design. Built for open living and wide views of the waterway, the flowing floor plan will include four bedrooms plus a bonus room, three full and two half baths, a family room, and formal living and dining rooms within the home's 3,853 square feet of air-conditioned space.

A gated entry and the three-car garage will provide the homeowners with a sense of privacy and security, while their visitors will be greeted by lushly landscaped entry walls highlighted with stately royal palms and beautifully manicured for- mal gardens. The breathtaking water- front lot will afford an extraordinary opportunity to intertwine the natural environment of one's living space within a magnificent structure that is in harmony with nature, yet not dwarfed by it.

The outstanding interior appointments will exude a feeling of true luxury, from the imported marble and granite finishes to the customized wood cabinetry and deeply detailed crown mouldings, The professionally equipped kitchen will delight even the most discriminating gourmet cook,

" After owning two other new homes in the area and being rather disappointed with the quality, we were delighted to find Courter Homes. We immediately saw the difference in the materials used, and the care taken to build a really solid home. We have experienced Charles Courter to be a man of very high integrity. He is not willing to settle for anything less than the creation of a beautiful, high-quality home." -Dr. Janice Piro

We decided that the dream was worth the nightmare, but with Courter Homes, the nightmare never materialized. What we wanted, we got...no hassles, and no excuses. Now, thanks to Courter Homes, we are living our dream each day with- out nightmares each night." -The Koski Family .
