Meet Bernie Kurlemann, founder of Classic Living Homes

"Classic Living Homes are more than quality materials, built into a detailed plan and brought together by experienced professionals. We start there, and extend the process further to ensure that the custom home we build for you fits your lifestyle. Instead of coming home to someone else’s idea of what your dream home should be, your involvement and inspirations make your Classic Living home truly a unique statement. The goal is a custom home that is right for you and your family."

Building in Cincinnati’s best communities

An option that is steadily growing in popularity with our home buyers is building new custom homes in some of Cincinnati’s finest existing communities. As building lots become more limited in areas such as Montgomery, Indian Hill, Kenwood, Madeira, Mariemont, and Hyde Park, we are always in search of opportunities to purchase old-stock homes for tear down and lots that make sense for new home construction. The benefits are many for those looking to locate in a well-established community, but have a custom built home with today’s latest amenities and technologies.

"We design, build, and service our customer’s homes to exceed expectations. Timeless architectural integrity and attention to detail will come together in a residence worthy of your signature. From the initial vision, through design and construction, your experience will be enjoyable, participatory and gratifying."
