A home is where the heart is. It’s also where families and friends gather to enjoy life’s most salient moments.

For Stephen Petrucci, founder and managing partner of Bella Homes, creating beautiful homes is his life’s most ambitious goal.
“To see all the different Bella Homes and communities we have built is thrilling for me, it’s what I want to be remembered for.”
Petrucci knew in college that he wanted to be in the real estate business. He studied real estate and finance at Florida State University and started his career buying and selling homes in South Florida.
He quickly found his passion in building custom homes. But not just any homes, ones that were built for discerning clients. That means discovering the miracles of technology and luxury construction.
That’s why Bella Homes is known as one of South Florida’s premier luxury builders. They have earned this reputation for designing homes that blend clean, modern architecture with warm sophisticated interiors. Add that to their innovative technology and environmentally conscious designs, and you have luxury homes with infinite grace.
“Every home is different,” said Petrucci. “And each one has its own personality, its own finishes and its own story.”
Since launching Bella Homes, Petrucci and his team have transformed the South Florida luxury landscape with custom residences and modern spec homes ranging from $4.5 million to $20 million.
What sets Bella Homes apart is their full-service approach.
From the first architectural concept to the final interior details, the company’s in-house design team works together to create a seamless structural masterpiece.
Clients are guided through every selection, from flooring and tile to cabinetry, lighting, appliances and designer finishes. This ensures that every detail reflects the clients’ lifestyle.
When he went from flipping homes to renovating them, Petrucci learned every aspect of construction, acquisitions, and sales. That hands-on experience became the foundation for Bella Homes.
“I started by buying and fixing homes. That experience taught me the importance of quality, craftsmanship, and understanding what buyers really want.”
His vision has expanded from renovations to creating luxury residences designed to enhance the South Florida coastal lifestyle.
Currently Bella Homes has a luxury estate home for sale in Ocean Ridge at 3 Hudson Avenue. It has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a sophisticated modern design with tranquil elegance that is unrivalled.
With an open floor layout, this 2-story home blends warm wood tones, sleek modern lines and Bella Homes signature sustainable features.
Priced at $11.5 million, it is 5,532-sq ft. and sits on a spacious 7000 sq. ft. lot in one of the most sought-after communities.
The home also comes with deeded beach access, giving residents the ultimate seaside lifestyle.
Inside, soaring windows invite natural light throughout the open floorplan. The designer kitchen showcases a premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance package, high-end designer finishes and custom cabinetry that complements the home’s coastal aesthetic.
There is Lutron Centralized Lighting System, Control4 LCD Display Panel, Sonos Sound System, Luma Video Camera, and pre-wired motorized shades and speakers.
Lutron HomeWorks allows homeowners to control lighting, shades, climate, security, and entertainment from anywhere in the world. With the touch of a button, homeowners can create custom lighting scenes, adjust temperatures, monitor security cameras, control pool settings, and prepare their home before they arrive.
“Technology should enhance the way people live. It should be simple, elegant, and something you enjoy every day. We don’t skimp. We believe our homeowners deserve the best.”
And they get it – in each and every detail.
The goal is to build homes that are efficient, comfortable, and designed for the future – yet enjoyed in the present.
Their portfolio of estates and homes continues to expand throughout Delray Beach, Ocean Ridge, and surrounding communities, with several luxury residences currently under development.
Current projects are in Delray’s Lake Ida and Lake Eden neighborhoods. They include a home on 17th Street and Swinton and 9th Street and Swinton.
They also have a beautiful new construction home at 720 NW 3rd Avenue (in Lake Ida) that is move-in ready. It’s only a golf cart away from the beach and downtown Delray.
In the next six months they will have two more homes for sale. One is at 101 NE 13th Street, and the other at 109 NE 13th Street. If you decide to purchase one now, you get your choice of finishes and colors.
Next year they’ll have a beautiful Mediterranean-style waterfront home for sale at 8 NW 24th Street in Lake Eden in Delray.
“We are bringing the Alys Beach architectural style homes to Delray Beach. You’ll feel like you’re living on a Greek Island. We want homeowners to feel like they’re on vacation every day.”
And they do.
“My husband and I purchased a Bella Home and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The quality and workmanship are unrivalled. If you want a creative design with high-end, state-of-the-art appliances and technology, they will exceed your expectations,” said Judy and Al.
For the team at Bella Homes, the greatest reward is seeing their luxury homes dotting the South Florida landscape.
With a passion for design, a commitment to sustainability, and a team dedicated to excellence, Bella Homes continues to redefine luxury living, one extraordinary home at a time.
