Lakeside sanctuary with stunning lake views and two en-suites with private balconies

The owners of the original three-bedroom Lower Nashota lake home needed more room. But with limited space and lake lot restrictions, only eight feet could be added to the lower level and main floors. Once this addition was complete, a third floor was added to provide the homeowners with the space they needed. 

This revamped retreat balances classic charm and contemporary luxury. Every detail of the home has been meticulously redesigned to maximize breathtaking lake vistas, enhance comfort, and create a bright, airy atmosphere. From the expansive main level to the unique finishes throughout, this getaway takes lakeside living to a whole new level.

Key Features

Renz Construction completely gutted and reimagined the home to offer lake views from every angle. The master suite’s relocation to the lakeside was a notable change, providing stunning water vistas from the bed. Extending the lower level and main floor by eight feet created more space and fluidity in the design. The home’s stunning location is highlighted by the new second floor, featuring two private en-suites with lake views.
