eally, there wasn't much wrong with the California
contemporary where Alan Greene and Marilyn
Peters raised their two children.
"When we first moved in all we really needed to do
were some minor modifications," said Alan who, with
his wife, was smitten by the quality of materials and
enduring aesthetics of the architect-designed home.
But when Marilyn's recent decision to change the
kitchen countertops became a down-to-the-studs redo,
the couple decided "maybe it was time" to do
everything they'd ever dreamed of to the house they'd
enjoyed living in for 19 years. That's when they called
Gittleman Construction Company.
"What Gittleman did first was design a new master
suite...and then we worked with them on reconfiguring
doorways and hallways," said Alan. As the job
progressed, the couple expanded the scope of the work. "As we went along, we added things...we
just figured, if we are doing it, let's just do everything."
Now, Marilyn "absolutely loves" the results of what became a total home renovation. The all new
master suite with its huge closet and new private bath is a wonderful respite. Three other
bathrooms finally reflect the choices of Greene and Peters. The foyer, as redesigned by Gittleman,
once again makes a dramatic welcome with refreshed space and the addition of a skylight.
"When we first moved in, we thought we would probably move out of this house," said Alan. "But
we liked the location and now, we'll clearly stay here for a while. I want to enjoy it. Everything is
new." College student Sara and college grad Alex especially enjoy returning to their completely
updated childhood home.
So when the home you fall in love with starts to show its age, you could move on or you could
give it a whole new look with a phone call to Gittleman.
