This two-story lake home with a walk-out basement underwent a full-home renovation to open the floor plan, maximize views and blend modern farmhouse comfort with classic lake house style—all without expanding the original footprint.
REMODELED ENTRYWAY
The original side entry led to a cramped stairwell and obstructed the home’s flow. The remodel addressed this by:
- Relocating main entryway to the front of the home
- Extending the façade by four feet to create a functional covered porch
- Custom cedar brackets and beams for architectural character
- Modern cable railing system to complement new white board-and-batten siding and black trim
OPEN FLOOR PLAN & KITCHEN RENOVATION
Inside, the home now features a cohesive, welcoming layout:
- Open foyer with custom bench and storage closet
- Fully remodeled bath with glass shower, tile flooring, decorative vanity and champagne bronze fixtures
- Open kitchen with custom island, luxury appliances, custom cabinetry and white oak flooring
- Great room and kitchen share a full wall of windows for abundant natural light
- Two glass patio doors leading to a deck with black railing matching the window trim and front porch
- Custom built-ins and newly milled open stairs with white oak treads and black risers
MASTER SUITE UPGRADE
The new front porch and entryway created additional space upstairs, allowing the master suite to be fully reimagined:
- Spacious bedroom with private balcony
- Custom walk-in closet
- Full bathroom with marble flooring, custom tile shower with marble niche, and built-in vanity
MAXIMIZING THE LAKE VIEW
The remodel emphasized the home’s scenic location:
- Added six extra-tall, lake-facing windows to bring in light and views
- Rebuilt the original three-seasons room to code with engineered supports
- New room includes built-ins, gas fireplace, full wet bar with beverage center and ice maker, and large picture windows framing the patio doors
RESULTS
From open-concept living and luxury finishes to panoramic lake views and a stunning three-seasons room, every detail of this renovation was designed to enhance how the homeowners live, entertain and enjoy their unique waterfront setting.
