This house is timeless both inside and out and it’s simplicity and modern furnishings continue through the trends.
This 4,000 square foot home has expansive windows overlooking the lake and a masonry stove with in-floor heating.
The north slope of the roof on the waterfront side blends nicely into the landscape which makes this house disappear into the landscape.
The south roof slope was prepared for solar panels which now make the home energy efficient.
The south has a wraparound porch that gives access to all the bedrooms and provides a cooling effect in the summer with additional breezes and provides sunshine heat in the winter.
