August 22, 2024 – Delray Beach, FL

When Steve Petrucci, the principal of Bella Homes, purchased a tract of land on historic N Swinton Ave. in the highly sought after Lake Ida area of Delray Beach, his vision was to create an intimate development a world apart, yet close to the beach and “The Avenue.”


The collaboration between Bella Homes and Richard Brummer, the principal of Opus Homes is nothing short of spectacular. Inspired by a home on Palm Beach Island, the collection of four homes marries a British West Indies style with the flare of Modern Farmhouse. The warmth in the material selection pairs well with the luxury finishes and the eco-friendly elements. Featured on the cover, the Coastal Modern home is one of the custom homes built in The Vineyard Delray by Bella Homes.

The natural stone and wood finishes bring the flavor of New England to south Florida with custom floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors that offer complete indoor-outdoor living, a quintessential part of our local lifestyle. Outside, a resort-style pool and full-size summer kitchen pairs nicely with our South Florida’s temperate climate.


All of the properties provide peaceful seclusion and enjoy the latest smart home technology and security features for a lifestyle of comfort and convenience. The designer kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, luxury appliances, and exquisite quartz counters with a waterfall edge countertop.Overall, the homes in The Vineyard are approximately 3,700 – 4,800 living SF. All homes come with a custom artistic concrete shell driveway with privacy gate, and a resort style pool.

Inside, features such as designer countertops, decorative backsplashes and extensive moulding, millwork throughout, 13’ ceilings in main areas, hurricane impact windows, a custom front door, 9’ sliders, and oversized garages are standard.


While all the homes in The Vineyard Delray are sold out, Steve has two projects in Ocean Ridge he is working on, most notably an oceanfront modern and eco-friendly masterpiece in Ocean Ridge, due to be complete in 14 months; and a spec home on Hudson Ave. in Ocean Ridge, located across the street from the beach with access to the beach.


When asked about his favorite features of his homes, Steve enthusiastically shares, “The design elements, attention to detail along with the technology.” Steve prides himself on staying at the forefront of technology and design trends in eco-luxury building.
