W

hen Stefanie and Brian Goldman began
looking for a new home four years ago, they
set their criteria but soon discovered that nothing
was going to match what they wanted, exactly.
They wanted waterfront, they wanted privacy, they
wanted spectacular.
"What we found was an old, old house on an
incredible lot, on a great lake, with lots of
privacy, " said Brian. They decided this was the
house of their future, moved in and then called
Gittleman Construction Company.
"As soon as we met Scott (Gittleman) I knew we
would work with him," said Brian. "He not only
had great ideas, he had a lot of vision."
Over the next six months, Scott and his team
moved walls and replaced them with panoramic windows, gutted the kitchen and rebuilt it
with everything state-of-the-art, installed hardwood floors. Basically, said Brian, they
transformed the Goldman's "dingy...worst of the 80's house" into something "fabulous."
"We are very pleased with everything they did. They made it more functional for our lifestyle"
not to mention absolutely gorgeous, he said. "These people really know what they are doing."
Now Brian, Stefanie and their 11-month old daughter Ellory enjoy a Tommy Bahama
lifestyle in a luxury home they never want to leave — and rarely do. Said Brian, "It's like
coming home to a vacation paradise every single night."
So next time you find a lot that you love with a house you don't like, remember that one
phone call to Gittleman Construction Company can turn it into the home of your dreams.
JUST ASK THE GOLDMAN'S.
