Our Featured Floor Plan – The Barlow

Allow us to introduce The Barlow. It has 4,992 square feet of living space, with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a 3-car garage. Like most of the plans we offer, The Barlow is a classically designed home, evoking an unusual level of grace and sophistication. The first floor is designed to fit today’s families, featuring everything you need for daily life – a large open living area, a huge mud room, plenty of storage, and flexible rooms that can adapt to your needs.

The Barlow features a stately front porch, which leads into a dramatic 2-story foyer highlighted by a sweeping central staircase. Just beyond the foyer, the combined great room/breakfast room/kitchen is the heart of the home. The gorgeous kitchen is the focal point, featuring white, Shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel, gourmet-style appliances, and a large center island with seating. The adjacent formal dining room is ideal for holidays and celebrations. The study is just off the great room, and offers a peaceful space to work or relax, while the living room adjacent to the foyer is perfect for entertaining guests. There is also a mud room with benches, cubbies & closets.

Upstairs, the elegant master suite includes an extensive walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with a shower and freestanding tub, marble tiles, and a double vanity. The additional bedrooms and baths are spacious and comfortable, with generous closet space. The second floor is also home to the laundry room, and may also include a large bonus room above the garage – the perfect spot for a game room, media room, fitness room or play room. A finished basement is another option for this spacious home as well. The Barlow also has dozens of stunning Calvosa details that make it unique, like white oak floors, 9-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, deluxe molding and trim, and a brick façade with elegant moldings.

The History of The Calvosa Organization

At The Calvosa Organization, we believe in the importance of home, family and communities in the lives of our homeowners. We are committed to building finely crafted custom homes and residential neighborhoods with exceptional lifestyle amenities. We pursue this goal – everyday – with sincerity and integrity. Our mission… Deliver a quality built home and an exceptional way of life.

As our president, Vincent Calvosa leads The Calvosa Organization’s commitment to superior design, construction and customer service. His impressive reputation for quality, value and experience has been formed over more than two decades, and is a testament to the exceptional building practices we espouse here at The Calvosa Organization.

Vincent Calvosa began his love affair with building at the age of 12 when he helped a builder as a summer job, and soon discovered the excitement of crafting things with his hands. He connected to the joy of seeing his labor take shape through the use of old-world skills that had been passed down from worker to worker, generation to generation. For Vincent, building was as natural as breathing. By the time he was 18, his summer job had turned into a supervisory job, and he had his first crew to run. His passion for building new homes was firmly rooted, and continues to make him happy. All these years later, his impeccable reputation speaks for itself, and his company continues to expand upon its impressive track record of performance.

The quality of The Calvosa Organization team is built upon years of relationships. On our job sites, it is not unusual to see Master Craftsmen with 30 years or more of experience, and tradesmen with extraordinary skills, working together with insight, harmo

ny and passion. We have assembled an outstanding team of professionals. Our dedicated and committed in-house staff, along with professional engineers, architects, land planners and craftsmen, ensure that our homes and neighborhoods maintain the tradition of exceptional quality and service we’re known for.

The Long Island Builders Institute has named us “Builder of the Year” in its Luxury Custom Home Building category for many years, and has awarded us their “Beam Award”, which recognizes the organization that uses the finest associates and trades for building their homes.

6 Benefits to Building a Custom Home

There are many reasons why someone might choose to build a custom Calvosa home over a semi-custom or production home. We’ve come up with some of the advantages we see in going custom.

1.) The Process. When you find the right builder, building your forever home is a really great experience. Just remember when you’re searching for a custom builder, look for one that has plenty of know-how, and has a tried and true process for everything. This is not the time to give an inexperienced builder a try.

2.) Choice. You have the opportunity to engineer everything from the placement of your appliances to the design of the custom cabinetry surrounding them. You pick the lot, the architecture, the paint colors, and the flooring. You make every decision from the foundation to the doorknobs. It is truly YOUR home!

3.) Uniqueness. For many people, it’s a once in a lifetime chance to design something that is truly unique. A custom home is personal, one-of-a-kind. It’s built just for your family.

4.) Your Lot. Finding that perfect piece of land is amazing. Being able to perfectly site your new home on it is even better. You have the opportunity to take advantage of the view, or tuck the home into a private corner.

5.) Quality. Custom builders like Calvosa are known for the quality of our work. We work with trusted craftsmen and take great pride in building homes that are masterpieces. We’re known for our old-world techniques, unparalleled integrity, and attention to detail.

6.) Flexibility. Do you need space for multiple generations of your family? Do you want the house to have Universal Design features? Are you a fitness nut who wants your own gym? Does your car collection need a new home? Custom building means you can adapt to any or all of these!

As you consider building a custom home, think about what you want, what you need, and what you’ve always dreamed of. Here at The Calvosa Organization, we believe in our process – and we look forward to helping you build your dream home!
