“I have a great appreciation for what it is now,” said Carey. "I know what’s beneath the floors, what’s behind the walls, how many approvals from mechanical, electrical, to plumbing, etc. Karl had to pass. It’s a very old, place steeped with rich history, yet it’s modern, up-to-date, and all within a park setting. In most new developments or renovated homes, you don’t know the longevity or how smartly the construction was done. You tour a new home, meet the realtor (almost never the actual builder) and still question whether the quality is as good as it might appear. I witnessed Karl's commitment throughout the process. I saw how the buildings became integrated into a special community of its own. I saw his expertise, enthusiasm and vision. He put in his heart and soul. I found everything I wanted and more for a new beginning."

"The quality of workmanship really shows: in the materials used, the consistency of pattern elements in each space, as well as the thoughtfulness that went into the custom design for every space."
