This renovation of an American family’s residence is what a house in the woods should be like. On a lake, of course, with half an acre of complete privacy. This comfortable, 3,050 square foot home reflects its period. A long entry hall opens into the intimate atmosphere of a cottage, with walls, open beamed ceilings and floors in wood. Large windows let in the light and survey a spectacular view of the lake and a covered boat dock large enough for entertaining. Two deck levels overlook a gently sloping lawn that is bordered by pyramidalis and runs across the entire 75’ of sandy beach. A generous circular drive, fruit trees, large work shop, tool or potting shed and potential separate apartment distinguish this extraordinary property. There is a sense of permanence here in the shade of old cedars. |
