The owners of the original three-bedroom Lower Nashota lake home needed more room. But with limited space and lake lot restrictions, Renz Construction could only add eight feet to the lower level and main floors. Once this addition was complete, Renz added a third floor to deliver more space.
This revamped retreat balances classic charm and contemporary luxury. Every detail of the home was redesigned to maximize lake views, enhance comfort and create a bright, airy atmosphere. 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.
