This home, with its close proximity to deck, beach and dock was
designed to maximize the small site for family vacations and gatherings, as
well as enhancing the stunning lake view. Family and friends enjoy the multiple
outdoor gathering spaces and screen porch from spring to fall and the warmth of
the wood interiors and fieldstone fireplace create a comfortable atmosphere for
gathering during the winter months.
Capturing the views and breezes, the house is oriented to place
as many rooms on the lakeside as possible. The design of the home draws upon
the steep gabled Victorian cottages of a past era while integrating features of
the current lakeside vernacular. The first floor contains the major living
spaces, kitchen, dining, living and mudroom/laundry as well as an office that
doubles as an overflow bedroom for guests. The second floor consists of the master
suite, a guest bedroom and bunkroom for the children and another bathroom.
