Karen Lewis brings a diversity of schooling and work experience to her real estate business that spans much of the US.

She grew up in one of Boston’s south shore fishing villages. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Speech and Hearing Therapy and went on to study speech in a master’s program. She went to the prestigious Radcliffe College to study Landscape Design. Her first home was a modest three bedroom, 2 bath in Andover, one of Boston’s bedroom communities. Major landscaping and some interior design updates led to a 65% increase in the value of that home in two years.

Her husband’s business took the family cross country to Portland, Oregon where after significant interior design changes and landscaping enhancements she sold that property for a strong 120% increase in just three years.

Returning East she took a turn of the century home in need of significant updating and decorating and turned it into one of the neighborhoods premier garden homes. During her time in Stamford, CT she was a member and judge with the Shippan Point Garden Club. Her landscape design background coupled with her love for gardening was having a major impact on her philosophy of focusing on the transitional spaces from indoor to outdoors. Patios, decks, gardens, sun rooms, the use of plant material, window treatments and moldings were used to leverage the value of that home.
From Stamford the family moved to Bryn Mawr, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. There Karen was Assistant Store Manager for Calico Corners where her service orientation and love for fabrics helped drive the store into the top 10 nationwide for this chain of home fashion stores. Fabrics for high end window treatments and upholstering of fine furniture were the cornerstone of that business. She worked closely with the in-store design team as well as freelance designers.

Now in St. Augustine, Karen is combining her real estate, interior design, landscape design and service orientation to the benefit of her customers.
