They also wanted a mudroom and a three-car garage, which was no problem for us. But what really got them to purchase was the new kitchen and the quality, detailed finishes throughout the house. They seemed to have forgotten all about the back yard . They told us that they looked at 50 homes in this prestigious area but none matched the quality of our finishes. Boris and our kitchen designer went above and beyond on this project." A new deck overlooks the brook. The Beech Street house in the Longwood Mall area of Brookline — located on one of the top 20 streets in America, according to a Google search — begged for a garage to be added to the house. The broker selling the house had dozens of potential buyers, but none could visualize the garage or f ig u r e out to add it , e xc ept K enwo o d Builders. The house was totally renovated, including a new deck and the garage. This house is another example of how Kenwood Builders can restore and rebuild an old house updated with new materials, keeping the historical preservation com- mittee happy, and at the same time make the entire inside of the house contemporary, fulfilling the client's needs and desires. A new project for Kenwood Builders required moving the old home to restore it. It will be moved back to the new foundation on the same property. Architect: Duckham Architecture and Interiors.
