"Kenwood Builders built my home and didn't cut a single corner. Their attention to detail, adherence to quality and genuine artistry are unmatched. In addition, they continued to work with me long after the papers were passed. Any necessary repairs — big or small — were attended to immediately, and they remained in constant contact to ensure I was happy with my purchase. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience. I'd recommend them without reservation." — DENNIS LEHANE, AUTHOR OF MYSTIC RIVER AND SHUTTER ISLAND A spec house just a few doors away from the Beech Street residence boasts a classic Back Bay design, with three lev- els, a finished basement and a completely remodeled interior.
