Iam excited to welcome you to the 2023 Parade of Homes presented by the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut. The Parade of Homes truly is “Where Dreams Begin”
During the Parade of Homes, you are invited to step inside and explore a variety of home styles ranging from innovative to elegant, and at prices ranging from the $400,000’s to more than $3 million. We are excited to showcase the latest in new home construction, new home communities and fully remodeled homes.
Plan your daily visits to all the Parade homes by downloading the easy-to-use Connecticut Parade of Homes mobile app. The app provides easy access to the home details, directions, photos, videos, builder profiles and much more. The app will be your most useful tool before, during and after the tour.

Be sure to click on the VOTE feature in the mobile app menu and select your favorite home, kitchen, bathroom and special features. On behalf of the Parade of Homes Committee and my fellow builders and real estate professionals on the Parade, thank you very much for joining us and experiencing the latest home design trends in Connecticut.

100% Electric. This 4,600 sf new home operates solely on electricity. There is no gas, oil or liquid petroleum piped or stored for energy. It is prewired for solar power and a back-up storage battery, such as the Tesla Powerwall.
The goal is energy efficiency. A hybrid on-demand generation and storage system provides hot water. High-efficiency heat pumps provide heating and cooling. Individual Mitsubishi ceiling cassettes are installed throughout the house and are controlled either by hand-held remote controls or smartphone. The energy savings is substantial since heat or air conditioning can be manually adjusted or programmed
to automatically increase/decrease in selected rooms.

Newly renovated and located only 2 hours from New York City, our quaint cottage style home, located directly on the majestic Connecticut River, will provide the perfect escape for you and your family.
Overlooking the ever-changing vistas of the Connecticut River, River Watch features a classic shinglestyle exterior with a beautiful waterfront outdoor environment complete with deck, patio, and direct Connecticut River frontage. The cozy traditional style interior features three bedrooms and one bathroom classically styled trim work, a
completely reconfigured open concept floor plan and a well thought out and functional kitchen design with an island, a full suite of stainless-steel appliances, and marble countertops. A first-floor bedroom along with marble bath, a large dining area overlooking the water, and a cozy family room complete the first-floor layout.
The list of improvements to this tiny house is extensive. The rear of the house was in total disrepair and had to be rebuilt from the foundation up. The mechanical systems were also replaced and relocated to a higher elevation to comply with flood requirements. All new electrical, plumbing and HVAC were added. The first floor was reconfigured and redesigned to create a more open living arrangement and capture the beautiful river views from the kitchen and dining areas. The Original pine flooring was preserved and refinished where possible, and
new six-inch pine flooring was added where needed. A completely new kitchen and bath were installed to finish off the extensive interior renovations.
On the exterior, the house was completely re-sided in white cedar shingles, however the saw tooth gable detail and original star medallion were preserved, the deck was rebuilt, a covered patio was added, and finally the entire landscape was redone.
Whether you are looking to spend time reconnecting with family and friends, or you are traveling to Connecticut for an event or for work, River Watch is the ideal location for your time away.

This project is a newly renovated home that was completed in two phases. The first phase was the redesign of the entry from the garage, full bathroom, laundry room and master bedroom with bathroom. This project required the demolition of the first-floor area leading from the garage into the main part of the house. Once this area was disassembled and cleaned a new area could be created. We worked with the homeowner to bring their idea of an updated and modern concept first floor to fruition. The new laundry room, soundproof
7 REDBERRY LANE, PORTLAND
office and garage entry way are much more functional for leading from the garage into the main floor of the home. The new design of the master suite area created a walk-in closet, bathroom and bedroom that is much more private and functional.
The second phase of this project was to eliminate an unused second
floor patio and extend the first floor living room to have 16 foot vaulted ceilings with a floor to ceiling decorative stone fireplace. This project took this area out of the 70’s to a modern usable space. The new design also includes a balcony on the second floor and is all completely weather tight!

“Cool Ranch Reno” This 1978 ranch was beautifully transformed into an inviting boho chic farmhouse. From spatial arrangements that optimized utility, to moving walls to make room for an extra bedroom to add value to the home, every nook and cranny was thoughtfully redesigned to make the small home live large! Kellie Burke notes that it’s not just special finishes or timeless furniture that creates value in a home, but the overall flow and aesthetic. Even after perfecting the interior with a full Kitchen, Bath and Bedroom remodel, Kellie and her team did not stop there. They then redesigned the exterior of the home
transforming this standard ranch into an inviting farmhouse. Through collaboration, creativity, and a commitment to affordability, Kellie Burke Interiors turned a house into a dream home, while adding considerable value to the space. This project serves as a reminder that, with the right design
partner, homeowners can craft spaces that not only reflect their personalities but also fit snugly within their financial goals. As they step into a new horizon, the homeowners carry forward a story of aspiration, inspiration, and a future filled with beautifully designed possibilities.

Checklist for Finding and Hiring a Builder or Remodeler
Use this checklist to help you select a home builder or home remodeler to work on or build your home.
• Contact the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut for the names of member builders and remodelers. Search our members at hbracentralct.com. You can also ask family, friends or coworkers for recommendations.
• Make sure the builder or home remodeler has a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers.
• Find out how long they have been in the building business. It usually takes three to five years to establish a financially sound business. You want to make sure they will be around after the construction is complete to service any warranties.
• Check out the company’s rating and if there have been any complaints filed with your local Better Business Bureau: bbb.org.
• Make sure the builder/remodeler has sufficient workers compensation and general liability insurance. If not, you may be liable for any construction-related accidents on your premises.
• Ask the builder/remodeler to provide you with names of previous customers. If they
won’t, beware. If they do, ask the customers if they would hire the builder/remodeler again.
• Ask if you can see the builder/ remodelers work, both completed and in progress. Check for quality of workmanship and materials.
• Do you feel you can easily communicate with the builder/ remodeler? Remember you will be in close contact with them throughout the construction process and afterward as you live in your new home.
• Make sure the builder/remodeler provides you with a complete and clearly written contract. The contract will benefit both of you. If you are having a new home built, get and review a copy of
the home warranty and homeowner manual as well.
• Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. If the builder/ remodeler is unable to pay for the materials and labor as the project proceeds, this may indicate a potential problem. Keep in mind that less expensive does not necessarily mean better!
• Verify that your remodeler is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator if you are planning work in a pre-1978 home that will disturb more than six square feet of painted surfaces inside the home or 20 square feet on the exterior of the home.
