Ever since BDG ran a “Successful Women in Building” feature two years ago and
dubbed Eleni Kaplan of E.K. Sanford Builders one to watch, we’ve been tracking her
career and progress in a highly competitive field. In just two years, she’s completed a
spec home in Sudbury, a custom build in Sudbury, numerous bathroom and kitchen
remodels, and her newest project—a sunny, stunning new construction in Weston
that falls somewhere in between—a turnkey home with all of the custom, high-end
features homeowners today are seeking.
“It’s a beautiful house with a lot of details and curves everywhere,” says Eleni, laden
with finishes that homeowners would have chosen themselves had they been in
on the construction process. The home is graced with elements Eleni has admired
over the years when working alongside her father Marc Kaplan of Sanford Custom
Builders, as well as features sure to appeal to buyers—picture windows throughout,
a tranquil master bath and a showcase kitchen with two islands and a secret pantry.
As of press time, this home—Eleni’s latest masterpiece—is on the market. To learn
more, email eleni@sanfordcustom.com or call 617-719-9273.
