This home was built for a retired couple, and we began by tearing down an existing, old lake home that was on this waterfront lot.

The exterior of the home is brick, rubbed down (with carpet) when the mortar was wet in order to give it an older look. 

The intent was to make the home look like it had been there for years but use the high quality of modern construction methods.  With cedar lintels and real operating gas lanterns on the exterior, it truly captures an old, classic feel:

Landscaping compliments the lot and the look:

The rear of the home has a large open deck made of Ipe wood – a durable Brazilian wood.

Using the hand-crafted oak stairs is optional – with an elevator that serves all levels of the home.
