“The grandeur of this porch,
accented by a galvanized metal roof, visually extends
the living space from inside the home,” noted
Wayne Visbeen, AIA, IIDA of Visbeen Associates Inc. “Outdoor
living is huge at a lake, and the porch also allows
enjoyment of the setting from three different directions:
If you want to get out of the wind, you can, but you
don’t have to sacrifice your view or fresh air.”
The family room opens to a spacious
kitchen and dining room, off which is a deck or could
be a screened room; entry to the home from the wrap-around
porch leads into the foyer and hall area that Visbeen
designed to be “strewn with function.”
“When friends or family members
come in from the lake, everything they need is here,” he
said. The space includes lockers, a full bath, laundry
room, home management center, boot bench and walk-in
closet.
Up a U-shaped stairway, the master
suite retreat enjoys a spacious loft area with built-in
desk and interior great room overlook, private balcony,
luxurious bath featuring a garden tub with view and
full shower, and an expansive walk-in closet.
On the walk-out lower level, a second
family room, refreshment center/bar, three additional
bedrooms, a full bath and generous storage space
are options.
