Bella Homes

Bella Homes, LLC is a premier design-build firm celebrated for creating homes and developments that combine character, warmth, and timeless sophistication. Guided by the philosophy of “Southern Living, Italian Style,” the company unites the elegance of Italian architectural traditions with the inviting comfort of Southern hospitality, creating spaces that are both refined and welcoming. 

For over 25 years, founders Kevin and Leslie Pagliari have drawn on their distinct heritages to craft spaces that are both graceful and welcoming. Kevin’s Italian design sensibility brings refined symmetry, elegant archways, and a sense of classical sophistication, while Leslie’s intuitive understanding of comfort and hospitality ensures every home feels lived-in and inviting. Together, they have developed a distinctive architectural language that balances heritage with modernity, translating personal stories into thoughtfully designed spaces. 

While Bella Homes is renowned for its luxurious private residences, its expertise extends to boutique hotels, luxury condominiums, commercial buildings, and multifamily developments. Kevin’s background as a licensed general contractor ensures that every project meets the highest standards of construction, while Leslie’s interior design expertise infuses each space with style, personality, and functionality. 

Sustainability and people-centered design are central to Bella Homes’ philosophy. Energy-efficient systems, eco-conscious materials, and advanced construction techniques are seamlessly integrated to create homes and developments that are comfortable, enduring, and environmentally responsible. 

With a growing legacy in Eastern North Carolina and ambitions for new coastal and metropolitan markets, Bella Homes continues to set benchmarks in luxury residential and commercial design, delivering spaces that embody elegance, warmth, and timeless charm.
