Lead Dog Builders, Red Bank, led by founder and president Michael Villane, is nearing the completion of a mid-century modern renovation in Shrewsbury. Located on Elm Lane, the home was built in 1958 and custom designed by Stanley James Goldstein, A.I.A. in Frank Lloyd Wright-style architecture.
Dr. Hector Morales, a dentist in Red Bank, purchased the home from its original owner in December 2019 with the intent to renovate.
Lead Dog Builders obtained the home’s original architectural plans and started the renovation with the goal of restoring the home to its former splendor. The renovation took about six months to complete. The four-bedroom, two-and-half-bath home features 2,168 square feet of living space with a finished basement.
Lead Dog Builders provides construction management, custom home building and renovations. For more information, call 732-747-3553.
