  • This home blends the styles of a lodge-like exterior with a bright, contemporary interior.
  • A hammer beam entry sits at the corner of a walk-around deck, inviting visitors to choose between the formal entrance to the left or a path to the lakeside on their right.
  • The generous lakeside deck features a high timber canopy extending from the main interior living area, complemented by two flanking verandas with ample seating to enjoy lake views.
  • The timber accents repeat the “hammer beam truss” motif throughout the home’s interior.  Here, the timber’s warm wood tones make a nice counterpoint to the bright white of the ceilings and walls.
  • A large, four-season sunroom is a wonderful gathering space, and the ceiling’s wood beams and planks add to the relaxed atmosphere.
