The Classic Group's Project to Be Featured on NECN's New England Dream House


LEXINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - October 13, 2009) - The Classic Group, Inc., architects and builders located in Lexington, is pleased to announce a recently completed project will be featured on NECN's New England Dream House to air at 10:30AM and 7:30PM on October 25, repeating at 3:00PM on October 26, October 29, November 3, and November 11.

The featured project is a renovation and restoration of a 75-year-old classic Georgian home and estate owned by local auto magnate Ernie Boch Jr. The Classic Group renovated the 21-room home to represent the era from which it was built and subsequently design and constructed several other structures on the property. The design highlights of the home include custom paneling boasting no less than 350 modillions, the gourmet kitchen which incorporates the best of both French and English design, a fully integrated lighting/music/security system which can be controlled from anywhere in the house, a stunning 80-foot indoor pool house complete with a caterers kitchen, a Greek-revival designed guest house and a custom music and entertainment room above the multi-car garage.

"We've had the pleasure of working with the Bochs for quite some time on the renovation of this estate," notes Philip Bates, principal of The Classic Group. "It is a project we are extremely proud of and New England Dream House is a fantastic way to showcase the work we've done on this property."

The Classic Group designs, builds and renovates distinctive private residences, practicing a collaborative approach to architecture and building and a clear, deliberate communication approach on every project.
