The People's Choice! Belmonte Builders Shines at the 2026 Saratoga Showcase
Belmonte's Mayfield Ranch earns two top honors and four runner-up awards in the Luxury Home category.
There's something especially rewarding about creating a home that resonates with the people who walk through its doors. That's why Belmonte Builders is particularly proud to announce that 21 Angeles Avenue, featuring our Mayfield Ranch floor plan, has won the coveted People's Choice Award in the Luxury Home category at the 2026 Saratoga Showcase of Homes!
Unlike awards determined by a panel of judges, the People's Choice Award is selected by visitors who tour the Showcase homes over two weekends and cast their votes. For our team, knowing that the people who experienced the home firsthand chose 21 Angeles Avenue as their favorite makes this recognition particularly meaningful.
And the honors didn't stop there!
An Award-Winning Showcase Home
21 Angeles Avenue received an impressive six honors in the Luxury Home category:
?? WINNER — People's Choice Award
?? WINNER — Best Landscaping
?? RUNNER-UP — Best Kitchen
?? RUNNER-UP — Best Exterior Architectural Design
?? RUNNER-UP — Best Workmanship
?? RUNNER-UP — Best Primary Bath
Together, these awards recognize the thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and attention to detail that went into creating this extraordinary home.
A Fresh Perspective on Single-Level Living
At the heart of 21 Angeles Avenue is Belmonte's Mayfield Ranch, one of our newest single-level home designs.
Offering approximately 2,380 square feet on the main level, plus an additional 1,160 square feet of beautifully finished lower-level living space, this customized home demonstrates just how sophisticated and versatile ranch living can be.
The Mayfield's thoughtfully arranged floor plan balances expansive gathering spaces with private retreats. A dramatic great room with a coffered ceiling and stone fireplace flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen and dining area, while a secluded study and luxurious primary suite provide peaceful spaces away from the home's main living areas.
Throughout the home, custom finishes, carefully selected materials, and thoughtful architectural details create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming.
A Kitchen Designed to Impress
Recognized as Runner-Up for Best Kitchen, the home's gourmet kitchen is a beautiful example of how exceptional design can combine style and everyday functionality.
Designed by Heather Lust of Curtis Lumber, the kitchen features a generous island with warm wood finishes, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, designer lighting, and an expansive walk-in pantry complete with additional cabinetry and a second refrigerator.
Open to the dining area and great room, the kitchen serves as a natural gathering place—equally suited to casual family meals and entertaining guests.
Outdoor Living That Steals the Show
The home's Best Landscaping award recognizes one of its most memorable features: an extraordinary backyard retreat that extends the home's living space well beyond its walls.
An expansive multi-level paver patio connects a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bar with dedicated dining, seating, recreation, and fire pit areas. Thoughtfully designed retaining walls, steps, landscape plantings, and integrated lighting create a cohesive outdoor environment that feels beautifully integrated into the wooded setting.
A deluxe screened porch featuring a cedar ceiling and wood-burning fireplace provides a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, offering a comfortable place to relax and entertain throughout much of the year.
These outdoor spaces are especially meaningful because they reflect the vision and expertise of the homeowner himself.
Chris Gennoy, owner of CPI Services, personally designed and brought to life the home's extensive outdoor living spaces, including the multi-level patio, outdoor kitchen, entertainment areas, and landscaping. His creativity and craftsmanship transformed the backyard into a remarkable private retreat.
A Home Built Through Collaboration
The success of 21 Angeles Avenue reflects something Belmonte Builders has always valued: the opportunity to work closely with homeowners and talented partners to create homes that are truly personal.
We extend a special thank you to Chris Gennoy and his family for trusting Belmonte Builders with their vision and for the incredible contributions Chris made to the home's outdoor environment.
We're also grateful to Heather Lust of Curtis Lumber for her exceptional kitchen design and Katelynn Johnson of Old Brick Furniture Company for her interior design expertise, which helped bring warmth, character, and sophistication throughout the home.
And, of course, we recognize our talented Belmonte Builders team and dedicated trade partners, whose craftsmanship and commitment to quality are evident in every detail.
The Greatest Compliment Comes From You
While we're honored by every award received at this year's Showcase, the People's Choice Award holds a special place in our hearts.
For nearly 50 years, Belmonte Builders has been committed to creating beautiful, thoughtfully designed homes for families throughout New York's Capital Region. To have Showcase visitors recognize that commitment by selecting 21 Angeles Avenue as their favorite is an honor we won't soon forget.
To everyone who toured, voted, and supported us during the 2026 Saratoga Showcase of Homes—thank you!
We're proud of what we created together, and even more grateful that so many of you loved it, too.
