Steep Hill

Project Brief

This weekend home in Weston CT for a NYC family offers a well-deserved retreat from the grind of working for a national billion-dollar real estate company. The bonus of managing a giant real estate portfolio equaled massive personal discounts on appliances and materials--- that no local builder would be able to obtain. Why not have the best products for your home when it costs you pennies on the dollar?

Best Remodel

The renovation began as a simple kitchen update but slowly grew to addressing the entire first floor and lower level. The Kitchen features Bertazzoni appliances, a 14 ft island, and a custom handmade stainless-steel hood. The tri-color Stamen pendants from Design Within Reach add a subtle touch of color to the buffet—and standout as the client actually had to pay normal contractor costs for them.

The primary bath includes the Kohler Anthem Digital Shower system featuring a single knob with an integrated diverter and volume control for the rain shower, handheld and body sprays. Why use standard plumbing fixtures when you can get the latest and greatest products for a song? A new bar was created in the family room with blue velvet panels above a matching custom high gloss refrigerator and freezer drawers. In the solarium, the space was designed to accommodate multiple functions including gym, office, and hidden laundry. By building a custom desk and hiding the washer & dryer it helps you to feel the forest around the house from the 1980’s vintage solarium.

The client was very pleased with the update of this 1980’s contemporary house to 2023 details and finishes.

Working with Arnold and his team of professionals at Karp Associates is such a rewarding experience, and I think it's because they are all so passionate about what they do.

Always professional, they actually listen to their clients needs and unlike many other builders, they keep the project on budget and finish on time. The end result is a beautifully appointed, high-quality build that is top-notch construction.

Over the course of four years, thorough several phases, Karp Associates gave us the house of our dreams. Arnold is incredibly talented at what he does. He knows all the right people and is incredibly easy to work with. He has given us countless recommendations for things other than on the present job. We have two rooms left to renovate and are waiting to begin any day. I know that they will be completed stress-free with the style and professionalism we have grown to admire in Arnold.

Lee Ann Mistretta

It was wonderful to work with Karp Associates. We were new to the area and he helped us connect with the professionals we needed starting with the architect. We worked on a master plan that was implemented in 3 phases. All the employees were prompt, courteous, clean and professional. It was a good experience.
