Helping Build Futures Through Housing

ARTISAN HOME TOUR BY PARADE OF HOMES

SM

We’re pleased to present the 2020 Artisan Home Tour® where you’re invited to tour remarkable residences that are the epitome of exquisite craftsmanship.

These are homes that sing, with exceptional design around each turn. Every home has been superbly crafted, is full of high-quality products, and is brimming with the latest styles and designs. Whether you’re in the market for a home of this caliber, hoping to find your dream remodeler, or just seeking inspiration, this is the place to be—this is #OnlyArtisan.

The Artisan Home Tour helps to support the work of the Housing First Minnesota Foundation to end homelessness. By partnering with builders and remodelers, the Foundation is able to build safe housing for Minnesotans in need.

Look inside to see how the tour has helped change lives.

Housing First Minnesota, The Strength Behind the Builders ALMA HOMES, LLC

Exceptional Builders & Remodelers

The homes on the Artisan Home Tour have been created or transformed by one of Housing First Minnesota’s professional builders or remodelers. These firms have the talent and experience it takes to create an Artisan-caliber masterpiece.

They employ the most gifted craftspeople and choose materials and products that embody quality and beauty.

Extraordinary Newly Built & Remodeled Homes

Inside, you’ll find descriptions for each home on the tour. Start here to find the residences that speak to you. We urge you to visit all the Artisan Homes to truly experience how exceptional design, exquisite features, and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship come together in these works of art.

SAFETY NOTE Our highest priority is everyone's health and well-being. We are committed to the safety of the community, and we urge everyone to follow CDC, federal, and state recommendations regarding COVID-19.

There’s one thing that truly sets the Artisan Home Tour apart—the fact that it is presented by Housing First Minnesota. We’re an organization that works hard to support the local building community, improve building codes and practices, and provide resources and education that allow our builders to provide homeowners with the highest quality, most energy-efficient houses in the country. Our goal? To provide the opportunity for homeownership for everyone, everywhere because homeownership is all of it!

What steps is the Artisan Home Tour taking for guests’ health and safety?

The safety and well-being of our attendees, builders, and partners is our top priority.

For that reason, we moved the Artisan Home Tour from June to October this year. To provide a safe and enjoyable event, we will be following all CDC, federal, and state recommendations regarding COVID-19.

While visiting the homes, please follow these guidelines for your safety and the safety of those around you.

• If you are sick, stay home.

Contact the builder for options on setting up a private showing or virtual tour at a later date.

• Masks are required for all attendees.

• Foot coverings/booties will be required for all attendees and will be provided by the tour.

Socks without coverings and shoes will not be allowed.

• The number of people allowed in each home at one time will be limited. If the home is full, please wait until you are notified that it’s acceptable to enter.

• Maintain 6 feet of separation while waiting to enter the home and within the home as you tour. This may require waiting to enter a hallway or a room until the people ahead of you have left the area. Thank you for your consideration and patience.

• Do not open cabinet doors and do not touch surfaces.

• If you do not have a ticket, we encourage you download the Artisan Home Tour app and purchase your ticket online.

TRENDS HEATING UP THE FIREPLACE INDUSTRY

JIM KRUGER/LANDMARK PHOTOGRAPHY

From outdoor living rooms to glassless designs, contemporary fireplaces combine function with luxury amenities.

Most would agree that there are few activities as relaxing (or romantic) as curling up in front of a fireplace with a good book or a glass of wine.

In fact, 97% of people say they are interested in having a fireplace, with 79% of luxury homebuyers calling them a “must-have,” according to research done by Hearth and Home Technologies and Fireside Hearth & Home (fireside-pro.com), the world’s largest fireplace installing distributor and dealer.

But it’s not about seeking a heat source. “The research was clear—

homebuyers are looking at fireplaces because they add coziness to their homes, and create a relaxing and inviting environment. What’s more, they see the fireplace as a focal point of design that adds to the home’s overall décor and value,” says Peter Dircks, vice president and general manager for Fireside. “Further, it’s not just the fireplace. It’s the overall package of the fireplace design, the decorative front, the mantle choice, and the decorative stone or other unique wall treatments. The whole interior design of it is really important and what we bring to our customers.”

Here, Fireside shares seven trends that are heating up the fireplace industry.

ONE

Modern touches.

97% 79% O F P E O P L E SAY T H E Y ARE INTERESTED IN H AV I N G A F I R E P L AC E

O F LU X U RY HOMEBUYERS CALL T H E M A “ M U S T- H AV E ”

Today’s fireplaces go beyond the traditional brick-and-wooden-mantel design most homeowners are accustomed to. Think rectangular shapes and landscape views, as well as see-through and threesided peninsula styles.

Even fireplace interiors are getting an overhaul, with customizable options including reflective surfaces and stainless-steel backgrounds, interior details like glass media and log choices, and front finishes in brass, brushed nickel, and oilrubbed bronze. “A lot of homebuyers aren’t aware of the breadth and depth of designs that exist in the marketplace,” says Dircks. “There’s such an abundance of beautiful styles.”

amenities, and ease of gas-burning fireplaces and their contemporary counterparts, like realisticlooking split wood logs and LED-lit ember beds.

THREE

Glassless design.

Taking the traditional realism trend one step further is Heat & Glo’s Phoenix TrueView Gas Fireplace. Featuring an open-concept design, the glassless front means you get the clearest view possible of the logs, embers, and flames, fully customized with a traditional brick or modern reflective black glass interior. If you close your eyes, we bet you’ll be transported to a campfire in the woods, crackling flames and all.

FOUR

Cool to the touch.

TWO

Traditional realism.

Of course, these modern designs don’t fit the aesthetic of every home and homeowner, and there’s still a place in the market for those who lean toward classic styles. That’s where the “traditional realism” trend comes in—translation: units that have the look and feel of traditional wood-burning fireplaces, but with all the luxuries,

Safety should always be a top priority when it comes to fireplaces, especially if there are young children in the house. “All gas-burning fireplaces come standard with safety screens, and now there are some new technologies that offer cool-to-the-touch glass for safety,” Dircks says. “For example, the Heat & Glo Primo features SafeSurface glass with no exposed seams, mesh, or metal trim, combining both safety and modern design.”

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

FIVE

Outdoor living rooms.

With Minnesota’s short summers and long winters, it makes sense that homeowners want to soak up as much time outside as possible.

Enter: outdoor living rooms, complete with wood-burning or gas fireplaces that invite you and your guests to linger a little longer around the seating area. “People are enjoying staying at their homes more, and an outdoor fireplace adds some nice visual flair and ambiance to their outdoor living room,” says Dircks.

SIX

Heat management.

The warmth of a fireplace is hard to beat on a cold winter night, but sometimes you just want the cozy atmosphere—sans the sweat. Heat management gives you the best of both worlds.

“When you want the look of a flame but don’t want all the heat, you actually move the heat somewhere else in the home or outside the home,” explains Dircks. “Maybe you’re having a dinner party and it’s summertime, or you have a family room with a fireplace, but you want some heat in your office in the next room over.

Heat management allows you to move the heat outside of your house or divert it to another room.”

SEVEN

Smart capabilities.

With today’s technology, nearly every home feature has the option to be connected to and controlled by a phone or your voice. Fireplaces are no exception. “It reduces the need for having an extra remote,” says Dircks, calling out the benefits of smartphone connectivity, like the ability to turn a fireplace on or off even when you’re outside of the home. Flame height, interior lighting effects, and fan speed can also be controlled via app.

Traditional or modern, indoor or outdoor, the best fireplaces are the ones that match the design of their surroundings and needs of the homeowners. “We help builders, architects, and designers really think about how their clients want to use the space—that family room, that recreation room, the bathroom, wherever the fireplace is going,” says Dircks.

“We love to help builders and architects with their design vision—combined with the wants and needs of their homebuyer—to achieve the outcome that everyone really, really wants.”

Elegance from every angle.

THE FOUNDATION SERIES Tastefully unite your home design with the Foundation Series Pier custom gas fireplace. With dazzling flames from three sides, Safety Touch glass, chromotherapy lighting and smart control, you add a showpiece presence to your interior.

The fireplace of your dreams is waiting.

Building Futures Through Housing The Housing First Minnesota Foundation has reached its 25th anniversary. The Foundation started in the early 1980s as a committee that found a unique way for builders, remodelers, and suppliers to focus their charitable efforts by making a difference in the community.

Its motto was “Making a difference, one home at a time.”

Right from the start, the decision to establish the entity as a nonprofit organization—originally as the Builders Outreach Foundation— proved to be extremely successful.

During the first 10 years, 11 housing projects were completed touching lives in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.

Today, the Foundation partners with shelters that provide transitional housing and supportive services helping individuals rebuild their lives. These partnerships allow

the shelters to focus on providing residents with services such as chemical dependency counseling, employment training, and financial literacy education. The Foundation utilizes the builders to renovate shelter facilities and increase their capacity.

The Foundation is also focused on the construction-related workforce shortage and strategies to attract new talent to the homebuilding industry. A scholarship program was created to attract young

professionals to the residential homebuilding industry. $100,000 has been awarded to Minnesota high school and college students over the past six years.

Since its inception, the Foundation has completed 55 community build projects, built and restored over 87,000 square feet of housing, educated future construction laborers, and invested millions in donated building products, materials, and labor to revitalize affordable housing for those in need.

Q+A W H AT I N S P I R E S A N D I N F L U E N C E S

Our clients are hands down the biggest inspiration when it comes to the homes we build. We believe every home should be designed around the people that live in it, so their personalities and lifestyles are the largest inspiration. Outside of that, we gain a lot of inspiration from traveling, whether that be through materials, construction methods, technology, or design.

W H AT A R E T H E M O S T I M P O R TA N T ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL BUILD T E A M ? Effective communication and trust are the most important elements. We work very closely with our clients to earn their trust, and at the end of the day, many of them become lifelong friends.

Being a design-build firm, we act as a onestop shop for our clients, which creates a very streamlined process. We intentionally take on fewer, high-quality projects each

FAV O R I T E T R E N D S YO U ’ R E

The lifestyle of our homeowners is always the most influential component when designing a property. First and foremost a home needs to be a place for productivity, reprieve, and comfort to our clients—whatever that may entail. Weaving the client’s everyday lifestyle into the style and aesthetic of the home is integral in creating each individual space. We also find it extremely important to have the land in which the home sits inspire the design, bringing the topography and views from the outside in so that they become one and the same—not just a beautiful home that could sit on any lot, but a stunning and seamless property.

Trends and products influence our work. We love trying new things, whether that’s a new faucet finish, unique wall detail, or plan layout. Lately, our building sites have really influenced our work. Several of our current builds are lake homes, and a lake or specific lot can really drive the design and feel of the space.

W H AT D O YO U W I S H OT H E R S K N E W A B O U T YO U R C O M PA N Y ? We’ve finished hundreds of building projects, and a piece of us is attached to each one of them.

We continue to grow, but we try to stay small by design, allowing us to have a more personal approach. Our talented build team has big ideas, a design imagination, and, most importantly, great values.

Creating something that will last for generations and will provide a lifetime of family memories. My creative bones just would not be satisfied if I didn’t work in a field that allowed me to produce a product that I can touch, feel, and be proud of.

An Artisan home isn’t necessarily the biggest, grandest home—it’s a home that is full of unique ideas, creative design details, and thoughtful layouts. It is built by quality artisans, from the architect to the tile installers.

Our founder’s passion was to create and build. We’ve been building custom homes since 1978.

There was a need for better homebuilders in the construction industry. We really wanted to find a better way to build for a stress-free experience.

The clients we work for have a desire for creativity and expect a great experience throughout the entire design-build process. With the rise in complexity required in high-performance, custom home construction, busy homeowners need a multi-faceted team they can trust more than ever. We bring all the experts needed for a successful project together, early in the process, so the client gets the most value in their home.

SUCCESSFUL BUILD TEAM?

The most important element of a successful build team is getting everyone to the table as soon as possible. It is extremely helpful to have the person who is going to build the home sitting at the table during the entire design process.

Your builder can help find you the best architectural designer, interior designer, project manager, site supervisor, estimator, vendors, and craftspeople. The most important element toward project success is finding your builder first.

Watching our clients’ visions come to life, building long-term relationships with them, and creating memories for couples and families that last decades.

YO U R S I G N AT U R E I N YO U R

Growing up in a smaller town in western Minnesota, we had an interest at an early age in custom homebuilding and remodeling through our annual family trip to the Twin Cities to tour the Parade of Homes. These annual trips solidified our desire to one day become custom homebuilders ourselves. After stints in the marketing and IT fields after college, we jumped headfirst into custom homebuilding, remodeling, and real estate 15+ years ago and never looked back. We couldn’t imagine doing anything else today.

ARE SOME OF THE MOST

Besides our focus on unique modern designs, our clients are drawn to our commitment to building energy-efficient, high-performance homes that also adhere to the most stringent requirements for indoor air quality. We believe a home shouldn’t make you sick, so while the design aesthetic of a home is obviously very important, so are the products we use in every home.

While not all our clients have energy efficiency or indoor air quality at the top of their wish list, at a minimum, we educate them on how minor changes in material choices can make their home healthier for them and their families.

I M P O R TA N T E L E M E N T S O F A

THEIR BUILDER?

We have been known to install unique special features: built-in coffee bars within our master suites, hidden lofts made just for kids, a bridge spanning two wings of a home, a fire pole to slide down, and unique finishes typically only found in commercial settings. But our standard signature continues to be our Minnesota Modern style, which seamlessly blends modern transitional style with warm wood, stone, and earth tones, in addition to our commitment to building energy-efficient homes for our clients.

SUCCESSFUL BUILD TEAM?

We have made a conscious choice to only hire people, partners, vendors, and subcontractors that truly LOVE what they do for a living. Developing lasting friendships with our employees and trade partners has been so important in our ability to build a high-quality home. Their unique passion for building amazing homes is evident in their attention to detail and craftsmanship people have come to expect in all our homes.

The key to a successful build is all about the approach—one that

We have thorough experience with building homes of this caliber and scale and have acquired the industry’s best relationships to get the job done effectively and efficiently. The Swanson team provides a professional set of eyes to help with spotting potential design issues and proposing innovative ideas to overcome or enhance the design of the home. From the floor plan to the exterior, we are involved in each design meeting to assist with the client’s questions and to keep their project and budget on track.

With a serene wooded setting on hundreds of feet of lakeshore, this Minnesota Modern home will evoke the sense of being up north. Ideally placed within the Peninsula at Lake O’Dowd community, this gorgeous abode welcomes you with unique touches and thoughtfully designed details.

• Classic meets modern in the detailing of this home, with unique features and finishes from the minute you walk through the front door to the outdoor retreat.

• The owners’ suite leads out to an upper-level breezeway and then on to the private, detached sunroom with 180-degree views of the lake.

• A soaring great room with two stories of glass anchors the main level, while an equally impressive two-story fireplace finished with steel and concrete tile fills out the space.

• Downstairs is the entertainment area with heated and polished concrete floors through the game room, family room, bar, and fifth bedroom.

These two meetings enable us to define

the desired scope of work and identify the challenges that will need to be addressed in order to achieve the desired end result. Each site presents a number of unique challenges and opportunities to reach the client’s desires.

It was a natural expansion from building new custom homes into remodeling. The land supply began to shrink.

More and more homeowners wanted to stay in their current homes and remodel to adjust to their changing lifestyles. These trends presented an opportunity for Lecy Bros. to help homeowners transform their living space and increase the equity in their homes. Already having the employees and processes in place, we applied our high standards of detail and craftsmanship to this new remodeling adventure. Now, we have been remodeling homes for more than 25 years.

ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL

REMODELING?

Communication and experience. The first key to a successful team, as well as a successful project, is communication. Open lines between each member of the team and the client ensure that everyone is working to meet the goals and expectations of the homeowner. The second key is experience. We pride ourselves on employing the best craftsmen—a team of 30 skilled professionals that are experienced, knowledgeable, and detailed.

Because we tailor our projects to the needs of our clients, we don’t necessarily have a favorite—we like them all! We instead have a strong desire to stay ahead of the curve and learn about up-and-coming trends and new innovative products that we can offer to our clients along with proven products and timeless designs. Recently we have seen an uptick in requests for nautical-inspired design including trends like a combination of navy and white cabinetry paired with gold accents, minimalist modern design, as well as midcentury-inspired design. It is a fun business

to be in because there are endless options and there is truly something for everyone!

With low-pitched rooflines and large overhangs, this modern prairie design fits in perfectly within its river bluff location. Once dark and closed off, this remodeled home from Bruce Lenzen Design Build is now flooded with natural light.

DIRECTIONS: From I-94 take Exit 1 WI-35 N./2nd Street to Coulee Road; Turn right and continue on Coulee Road to Birkmose Park Lane; Turn right and continue up the hill to the left to the home

• The exterior is clad in stucco and stone with a standing seam metal roof.

• Rearranged living areas used the highest point of the original home to create a 13foot ceiling in the great room.

• Large windows were added to take in the incredible views and provide muchneeded natural light to the home.

• A modern style was integrated through the interior with clean lines and monochromatic finishes.

• The owners’ suite is a relaxing retreat with a freestanding Barclay tub set against a wave tile backdrop.

• The cabinetry is a combination of white oak with a white high-gloss finish, while the stonework and tile create stunning textural interest throughout the home.

• Porcelain matte kitchen countertops and full-height backsplash mimicking calacatta gold marble grace the gourmet kitchen, while a pot filler at the range, built-in coffee maker, and wine storage make hosting dinner parties a dream.

• The new lower level has something for everyone—a bar, pool room, exercise room, and even a golf simulator.

3 , 0 0 0 S Q . F T. WHOLE-HOUSE REMODEL

The homeowners of this 1929 Mediterranean stunner fell in love with the details and history of the home. When the time came to remodel, they had two main objectives: create a highly functioning private quarters on the second floor and multi-functional spaces for entertaining all throughout the home.

• Rather than building on an addition, creative design maximized the existing spaces and allowed the family to focus on interior details without changing much of the home’s original exterior presence.

DIRECTIONS: From I-94 exit south at the Cretin Avenue Exit; Travel south and take a right at Fairmount Avenue; Turn left at Woodlawn Avenue and the house is on your left

• This remodel marks the second time Vujovich worked on this home, as the new homeowners were confident the team knew the home well after working with the previous homeowners on a kitchen remodel.

• As with most turn-of-the-century homes, storage space was lacking, so a new owners’ suite now includes two highly functional closets and a spacious, spa-inspired bath along with a lovely new rooftop balcony over the main-floor sunroom.

• Work on the children's side of the second level included moving walls and creating custom built-in storage to provide two equal bedrooms with a roomy adjoined bathroom between.

REMODELER BIO ON PAGE 97

• White oak hardwood floors can be found underfoot through most of the home, with luxury vinyl in the exercise and laundry

rooms, dolomite tile in a herringbone pattern in the master bath, encaustic tile in the powder room, and ceramic hex tile in the kids’ bathroom.

• Descend the staircase featuring custom ironwork matching the main grand staircase to a fully finished entertainment level complete with a custom private bar and wine cellar.

• The fully renovated lower level includes a lounge area with custom walnut bar cabinets, Cambria Skara Brae countertops and backsplash, and a built-in wine refrigerator with matching refrigerator drawers.

• Before, the space included compartmentalized rooms that were rarely used, but it now functions as an open gathering space that can be closed off when need.

• One key goal was to reuse original items found in the basement such as the leaded glass doors that now lead to the fully equipped gym.

4917 Girard Avenue S., Minneapolis, Minnesota 55419

An incredible undertaking, this 1918 Spanish Colonial got a new lease on life from OA Design + Build. The home exemplifies the possibilities of mixing historic and contemporary styles while creating an ultra-resilient residence!

• This stunning home is ready to weather any storm with a new exterior that greets its owners with blue panels and open joint cladding.

• Going from a three-bedroom, onebathroom home to a six-bedroom, four-bathroom home, this contemporary masterpiece uses a fraction of the energy it did before and accommodates multigenerational living.

• The home was initially limited in living areas, but a healthy expansion and big changes through the interior made way for an office, library, mudroom, powder bathroom, and relocated sunroom on the main level.

• Upstairs, the new floor plan created space for additional bedrooms including an owners’ suite with a private balcony.

• The details and warmth will amaze you, from the brushed gold hardware to the dark-painted millwork that contrasts with the lighter wall colors.

• Pure artistry comes to life in the showstopping vanity with hand-carved stone sinks, quartzite countertop, and door and drawer fronts crafted from Russian olive wood and flanked by rock elm.

• This home features some never-beforeseen products including new PVC panel cladding from Azek and Marvin’s new Skycove, an immersive glass alcove.

Just steps from Minnehaha Creek and Lake Harriet, this Tudor home is a work of art. Santanni Custom Homes met the homeowners’ goal of maintaining the historic aesthetics while seamlessly creating a functional floor plan for modern living.

• To maintain the Tudor look, stucco finishing and a mixture of shake siding grace the exterior, along with new windows that simulate divided light.

• Inside, walls were opened to relocate the kitchen and give the entire main level a more open floor plan.

• The updated kitchen makes dinners at home a breeze with double ovens, an integrated refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry.

• Upstairs, you’ll discover a spacious owners’ suite including a walk-in closet and a relaxing bathroom with a freestanding tub, plus a conveniently located laundry room.

• By adding a new 18’x23’ garage, the old garage was able to be repurposed into an office and much-needed mudroom.

• Grab a drink at the wet bar in the dining room before heading out the new 12-foot patio door to relax on the deck.

• The fine woodworking added to the powder bath is a must-see, along with the maple tongue-and-groove wainscoting and red oak flooring that ties in with the existing floors.

• Explore this thoughtful design that maintains the true character of the original home and breathes new life into the layout and flow.

• When the homeowners asked for a large family room, an open kitchen, and bedrooms for each of their three growing boys, they got all that and more through a second-story addition, reconfigured living spaces, and a lower-level finished family room.

• Graceful doorway arches and a new 9-foot ceiling enhance the main level, creating a luxurious and open atmosphere to welcome family and guests.

• The main level houses a beautiful and functional family kitchen, huge dining room off the foyer, fourth bedroom, and a spacious family room with an impressive 12-foot-wide patio door offering views and access to the backyard pond that becomes a hockey rink every winter.

countertops to all new stainless-steel appliances, even a convenient steam oven and beverage center set within the big island.

• The new second story is split between two bedrooms with a shared bath and a truly elegant owners’ suite with quartz countertops, dual sinks, and a roomy closet.

• Downstairs, the second family room is the perfect spot to stay entertained for hours on end.

• You’ll also love the thoughtful and exquisitely crafted finishes throughout this whole-house remodel including oak hardwood floors on the main level, all custom cabinetry, herringbone mosaic tile in the main level shower, and graceful stairway details for visual interest as you enter from the new front porch.

20050 Lakeview Avenue Deephaven, MN 55331

Sitting on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, this whole-home remodel has perfected lakeside living.

DIRECTIONS: Head west on Minnetonka Boulevard toward Cottagewood Road; Continue onto Cottagewood Road; Turn left onto Water Street; Turn right onto Lakeview Avenue

• The exterior of this stunning residence welcomes you with cedar shake roof and siding, plus a gracious stone entry.

• The chef’s kitchen is complete with Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances and a scullery to make dinner prep a breeze.

• Working closely with the city, Revision was able to strategize a floor plan that created expansions needed for the homeowners while carefully considering the nuances of the lot and home position.

• Outdoor living takes center stage with accordion doors leading out to a screened porch with a cozy fireplace, an indoor-outdoor bar area to enjoy a drink, and a deck to soak in the breathtaking views.

• Two previous remodels were thoughtfully weaved into this transformation to keep the design seamless.

• Finishes make the space sing including the character grade white oak floors, coffered ceiling beams, and just the right touch of shiplap.

• From the wine wall to the craft room to the golf simulator on the lower level, don’t miss the special features found around every corner!

LECY BROS. HOMES & REMODELING 4595 Merrywood Lane, Minnetrista, Minnesota 55331

This Lake Minnetonka home was totally renovated to improve livability but also to bring the beauty of its glorious location to nearly every room. With a distinctive Mediterranean style, the choppy floor plan was reimagined to ensure modern living and delightful views of the lake and nearby Crane Island from every living space.

• Raising ceiling heights and rooflines provided volume while the footprint for the home and garage was expanded to create an open main level, truly livable downstairs, a bonus guest suite above, plus protected indoor-outdoor spaces worthy of its perfect setting.

• The main-floor owners’ suite reigns supreme with its own sitting room overlooking the lake plus black and white window-pane tiled floor, large shower, and a Victoria and Albert Barcelona freestanding tub in the spa bath.

• Each of the five bathrooms was co-designed by a family member, displaying their creative abilities and love of art through color, texture, and graphic design.

• Downstairs, a quartzite waterfall-edge bar separates the game and bar area from the media room, a glass-enclosed wine room

shines, and the outdoor kitchen/cabana beckons you outside.

• In addition to three bedrooms downstairs and an amazing owners’ suite on the main floor, the bonus room upstairs is accessed via its own stairwell and can serve as a guest suite or family getaway with bedroom, private bath, and living space with a kitchen counter.

• Beautifully crafted and awash in color, a favorite feature will be the kitchen island’s Labradorite top that echoes the lake’s color and glimmer on a sunny summer day.

• You’ll love so much about this gorgeous remodel, including the 14-foot chevron patterned tile fireplace, the 14-foot ceilings with king and queen beams in the great room, and the bluestone patio with built-in firepit.
