editor’s note

Woohoo! It’s Tour Time

MOLDING • DOORS WINDOWS • STAIRS

As I write this I’m just locking down our final homes for the 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Home Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on September 19—all while breathing a sigh of relief, albeit an excited one. Putting together the home tour is a jenga that involves 1) identifying stunning homes 2) hoping that the contractors who built the stunning homes will understand the value of putting the homes on the tour 3) obtaining permission from the owners of the stunning homes to put their home on the tour …

I am delighted to say that we have successfully secured 12 stunning homes because their 12 far-sighted contractors and 12 magnanimous owners agreed to put the homes on the tour (and allow me to pause here and especially thank these homeowners for the money this tour raises for Child and Family Services of Northwestern Michigan).

Now let me talk about these homes! The views from each are worth the price of the ticket—on this tour, you’ll gaze, starry-eyed, out floor-to-ceiling-windows that look out on sweet tiny Armstrong Lake, Little Glen Lake, Lake Michigan’s Sleeping Bear Bay, full-on Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Skegemog. You’ll also see the absolute most energy efficient homes being built today (we’re talking negative energy bills!) and the active, stylish way the new gen of 55+ folks want to live. And design ideas? Go ahead, log out of pinterest.com and houzz.com. Visions of gorgeous granites, ingenious window coverings and the latest fabrics, appliances, floor coverings, furniture styles, tile and fixtures will be dancing in your head for days. Please, no photos in these homes. But you can certainly chat with their designers, who will help you identify what you love.

Find the guide to the 2015 Northern Home and Cottage Home Tour on page 12 of this issue. I look forward to seeing you on the tour!

It was the same challenge every summer. Dad would take the boat to “our spot”.. our favorite secluded beach on the sand dunes.

After he anchored the boat we donned our cool new goggles and got ready for the race. Mom would yell “GO!”, and we would all plunge into the big lake and race Dad to the top of the dunes. He would always win, of course.

Until this year– finally. The celebration that followed featured ice cream, smores, and lots of humble pie for Dad.

Welcome to the

annual

NORTHERN HOME & COTTAGE HOME TOUR Saturday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Home Tour treats tourgoers to 12 homes, each chosen for their distinctive style and/or innovative lifestyle concept. On this tour you’ll see nationally acclaimed modern design, pioneering NetZero energy efficiency, lovely shingle and coastal looks and more. The tour itself winds around the Leelanau Peninsula, through Traverse City (with a jog out onto the Old Mission Peninsula) and out to Skegemog Point Drive, northeast of Traverse City.

There’s no shortage of water scenery along the way: the Glen Lakes, Sleeping Bear Bay, wide open Lake Michigan, East and West Grand Traverse Bays and Lake Skegemog.

September, when the summer crowds have thinned, is just the time to make this drive.

From end to end, the tour is about 80 miles—very doable in a day, but it helps to plan your route ahead of time. As always, we’ve kept the ticket prices low so if you can’t make it to all of the homes, you’ll still find full value in your day.

We are so grateful to the homeowners who have so generously opened their homes for this tour that benefits Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan.

Established in the 1930s, this organization provides crucial services to the children and families of our region.

Tickets (along with the tour map and driving directions) are $15 in advance, $20 day of. To purchase tickets please go to MyNorthTickets.com. For more information: 800.836.0717

Builder Jim Anderson recalls the first time he accompanied architect David Salmela to the site on sweet, placid Armstrong Lake, where Doug and Bonnie Yingst were planning to build a home. The couple knew they wanted a home with clean modern lines—a structure that would slip quietly into the wooded site—and so they had tracked down Jim, who had already made a name for himself constructing the designs of Northern Michigan’s modernist architects Glenn Arai and Roger Hummel. “David was influenced by the vertical lines of the trees,” Jim says of that first site visit.

David, whose forebears immigrated to Minnesota from Finland, has made a national name for himself as a Great Lakes modernist—an architect who pulls on the cool cleanliness of Nordic design and finds inspiration in the simple structures that built the Northwoods, such as agricultural buildings, fishermen’s shanties, woodcutters cabins.

Typical of his style, David’s design for the Armstrong Lake home reflects what is around it: those sentinel hardwoods and the view of the lake. The geometric structure is constructed with vertical columns that support four-foot widths of glass that let in generous views of the site. The interior spills down several steps from the great room into the kitchen—a waterfall comes to mind. The buildings are mostly faced in black, like an inky forest that the sun has to work to penetrate. A couple of outbuildings mimic the main house, and an outdoor freestanding masonry chimney/fireplace invites visitors to gather around the warmth.

This nationally acclaimed home is a rare treat for tourgoers—as is the pavilion that David Salmela also designed for the grounds. Shaped like a bolt of lightning touching ground, it is fabricated with the same material used to build skateboard parks.

Like the classy grande dame she is, this home has clung to her best features since she was built in the 1920s or 30s—a stately porte cochère, white-painted fireplace mantel with a neo-classical relief across it, fieldstone fireplace, Dutch lap siding and Douglas fir floors. But the years took their toll, covering her good qualities with suburban-blue siding, linoleum, bad fixtures …

Enter homeowners Joe and Fran White and their architect/contractor Matt Wollam, who finished renovating this Little Glen Lake home just this summer. The project was a perfect fit for Matt’s penchant for echoing historic detail and the Whites’ exuberance for tastefully outfitting homes.

A seamless new addition makes the home large enough for two families to vacation together (yes, you could rent this and enjoy your dream Glen Lake vacation!). Upstairs, two master suites anchor each end of the home, with five smaller bedrooms and baths between. Fran’s eye for period

0815_NHC_hometour1-4.indd 21

wall colors sets the right Up North tone. Two staircases lead to two living areas connected by a spacious kitchen that functions in overdrive for modern families while carrying the warm feel of a bygone era: mossy green-painted cabinetry, two white enamel farmhouse sinks, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a 48-inch Wolf range, and a handsome butler’s pantry.

Wollam uncovered the original Dutch lap siding then matched it for the addition, refurbished the porte cochère, refinished the Douglas fir and oak floors, and designed perfectly period balconies off the master suites that hearken to Gatsby, Daisy and mint juleps. The white embossed fireplace mantel is glossier than ever, and the fieldstone chimney still stands tall. The manicured lawn rolls out to the ageless Little Glen Lake view—not West Egg. Better.

Designer Angela Goodall describes this residence on Lake Michigan as a contemporary beach house with some industrial edginess as expressed in accents of weathered bronze metal. In this extensive cosmetic remodel, the only structural changes were to the master bedroom where the ceiling was raised to introduce a unique feature called a bronze collar tie.

Additionally, a closet was removed to widen the bathroom, allowing space for a contemporary freestanding soaking tub—with a view of Sleeping Bear Bay. Soft gray cabinetry and Calcutta Gold marble round out the bathroom.

In the kitchen, a water-colored glass tile backsplash replaced pickled wood paneling and a whimsical mermaid mosaic-inset, once set behind the stove, was moved to where she belongs: in the bathroom shower. High-end appliances, white-painted custom cabinetry, a new island and marble countertops complete the kitchen.

In the living area, a country style woodstove was replaced with a contemporary stainless model that shines against its backdrop of Ann Sacks stacked-stone tile on the wall. A new wet bar and dark-gray stained cabinetry complement the newly refinished and stained hardwood floor.

Other must-see’s: A girl’s bedroom and Crow’s Nest with soft white walls and chartreuse shag carpet; built-in bunk beds in the boys’ room; an entertainment room with dark navy blue walls to enhance the in-home theater experience, and a one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass fixture in the foyer.

This gray, shingle-style home on Sleeping Bear Bay fits into its shore-side setting with the confidence and grace of a great American coastal classic. Walk into the simple but elegant foyer (worthy of a sea captain’s homecoming) and then into a great room that shines with the attention to detail that comes with assembling a first-class design-andbuild team: builder Dale Boone, architect Sarah Bourgeois, kitchen designer Sandra Bargiel and homeowners Mike and Susan Garver.

The great room with its handsome Brazilian cherry floor, dove-gray walls and glossy white woodwork is a handsome backdrop for the stunning bay view visible through the bank of windows and glass doors. A Scandinavian-style teak dining room set (from Edwards Home Furnishings in Suttons Bay) creates a fluid transition from the open living room to the open kitchen, where a built-in breakfast nook with banquette seating offers more intimate dining.

The kitchen manages all its functions in crisp, inviting style. Expansive Super White granite countertops and

0815_NHC_hometour1-4.indd 29

glossy white fireclay sink make prep a breeze, while cooking and baking are elevated on the dual-fuel, six-burner, double-oven Wolf Range. A small but efficient bar and coffee center holds a KitchenAid Architect Series Icemaker and KitchenAid double-drawer refrigerator. Tucked between the kitchen and the door to the garage, a generous butler’s pantry keeps the muss and fuss out of sight.

It’s all pulled together with a translucent white subway tile backsplash and painted white Shaker-style cupboards.

Behind this home’s beautiful façade are several clever ideas that make living here that much sweeter: two washers and two dryers (one set is near the beach access door and the other is in the master bedroom closet), remotecontrolled screens on the verandas and a lovely, lightweight painting in the living room that lifts off to reveal the big screen television.

The Homestead’s Vantage Pointe development, set on the far northwest corner of Sleeping Bear Bay, has grown one lovely home at a time since its inception in the 1990s. Somehow, however, the prize lot, nestled up to the protected acreage of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, was overlooked—until Todd and Wendy Opperman snapped it up last year.

Working with Paul Maurer Contracting and designer Angela Goodall the couple has built a light, airy and very stylish vacation home deserving of its spectacular site. The view dazzles from the doorway through floor-to-ceiling windows—a big, blue half-moon of water, Sleeping Bear 

Emmet, Charlevoix & Cheboygan

Set against a backdrop of October’s fiery vistas and sapphire seas, Northern Home & Cottage’s editorial board has collected a second Home & Kitchen Tour, this time showcasing Emmet, Charlevoix & Cheboygan.

If you have the average three bedroom home, last winter you probably paid about $2400 to heat it. This year... you can already guess what energy costs will end up being.

How would you like to cut that in half, to say $1200?

Or better yet, by two-thirds, to $800? We thought so.

Call GeoFurnace today to learn how you can drastically reduce your heating and cooling costs. With a geothermal heating and cooling system from WaterFurnace, it’s not as difficult as you would think.

Your ticket purchase benefits Northwestern Michigan Child & Family Services.

point to the south, Pyramid Point to the north and South Manitou Island—so close it feels like you could reach out and touch it. Sails breeze by, freighters pass, birds and squirrels flit and hop in the surrounding leafy forest.

Everything about the home was designed to complement the view. A scraped walnutbrown wood floor recalls tree bark, the kitchen counters and island topped in thick white granite streaked with the shades of dunes and water evoke, well, sand and water, and the weathered-wood staircase feels like driftwood.

The home lives simply with touches of luxury.

A top of the line Pro 48 SubZero refrigerator sports a classy glass door, the Wolf range is topped with a custom hood, a stacked stone wall is outfitted with a big-screen television and a gas fireplace, a fully equipped wet bar and lounge area exude relaxation and a spa tub at treetop level offers up glimpses of Lake Michigan through the boughs—all of which makes this home rock.

Northern Home & Cottage first wrote about this cottage in 2006. At that time, the cottage had been transformed from a homely cinderblock structure (perhaps once used as a Native American schoolhouse) into a rustic seasonal cabin that rocked an understated style the homeowners termed “cozy industrial.” When Detroit designer Kyle Evans saw it for the first time in 2006, he fell in love. “It was tiny with so much charm and character,” he says.

As the family grew and it was time to enlarge the cottage, Kyle was ready for the job. Wanting to leave the original cabin as untouched as possible, Kyle oversaw the design of a separate 2,400-square-foot structure that used the same basic architectural elements including cinderblock, cedar and birch plywood that define the original cabin.

The family then transformed the original cabin into a summer entertaining kitchen—updated using completely sustainable materials. The summer kitchen opens on to a fabulous outdoor terrace, outfitted with a bar and wood-fired pizza oven. The terrace spills out to the bluff-edge of the property, delivering a magnificent Lake Michigan view.

While the new home echoes its diminutive counterpart in both interior and exterior building materials, the construction is state-of-the-art—insulated tightly to keep it cozy in four seasons and smart enough to control everything from turning up the heat to turning on the water fountains remotely. And the interior style? Suffice it to say that tourgoers will be treated to what happens when one of Detroit’s most celebrated designers turns his heart and extensive talents north.

Expect fine, classic pieces from an eclectic mix of time periods and styles— Memphis, country, mid-century modern and early 20th century—put together to form what Kyle terms a “timeless period.” Look for mini-themes in every room: a collection of hand mirrors in the powder room, a nautical theme in another bathroom that revolves around lighting made from old fishing bobbers. And you won’t want to miss the great local art, including a piece by Clay Carlson, whose family had fished out of Leland for generations.

A life full of

...in Traverse City’s newest Senior Residential Club.

You’ve always made choices in the interest of a better tomorrow. As a young person you chose an educational path, the one with whom you’d share life, and the place where house would become home.

You chose retirement, where, when and even how.

Today the power of choice remains, even as others suggest otherwise.

Choose to thrive, improve, and find meaning each day. Choose the dignity that strengthens, not the pride that isolates. Choose to embrace the hands of encouragment before you...then extend yours to another. Choose Cordia Senior Residential Club–a life full of choices awaits.

CORDIA

text by elizabeth edwards | photos by todd zawistowski and michael poehlman

600 Cottageview Drive, Private Residence 153 & 334 Cordia at Grand Traverse Commons, 600 Cottageview Dr., Traverse City, 231.995.5266, cordiatc.com Find driving directions on your ticket: MyNorthTickets.com. Find more resources for this home at MyNorth.com. Search 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Tour Resources.

With their gallant red spires, unexpected curves and arches and throw-your-braid-over balconies, the 19th-century Victorian Italianate buildings at the Grand Traverse Commons feel enchanted. Traverse City has watched, entranced, as the Minervini Group has transformed this historic former state hospital campus into The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, a high-end residential community surrounded by boutiques, eateries, wineries and trails.

The heart of the development is Building 50—a four-and five-story labyrinth that stretches a quarter-mile through the campus and adds up to a total 386,740 square feet of architecturally brilliant space. Until 2010 the north end sat vacant, looking more and more forlorn as the south end became a hive of cool.

That was the year Karen Anderson heard about the village. Karen is the founder and CEO of Cordia, a small, innovative and experienced organization devoted to creating meaningful lifestyle opportunities for people over 55. She lives in Boston and had never heard of Traverse City—but she did her research, and was blown away about what she found out about The Village at the Grand Traverse Commons. Fast forward several years to the buzz and whirr of jackhammers and sandblasters unleashed to renovate the southern end of Building 50 into the Senior Residential Club at Grand Traverse Commons.

The finished project is 110 private residences—92 of which have a unique design and layout—and 30,000 square feet of gracious common area. Residences, ranging from studios to one and two bedrooms, are leased for an all-inclusive monthly fee that includes weekly housekeeping, one meal per day and access to the club's common spaces. Counted in that public space are an upscale restaurant presided over by Michael Bauer—a chef known in Traverse City for his farm-to-table ethic—a pub, a bar and a lovely outdoor

patio with a fire ring. The club abounds with mind and soulfulfilling opportunities from art classes led by one of Cordia’s three artists-in-residences to concerts and informational talks.

Of course, the many amenities of the Village of Grand Traverse—Spanglish for Latin food, Higher Grounds Coffee, Left Foot Charley Winery, Underground Cheesecake—are just a short walk away. And if Cordia residents don’t feel like going outside, they can walk through carpeted halls all the way to the other end of Building 50 to shopping the Mercato (Italian for marketplace), dine at one of two fine Italian restaurants and much more.

Tourgoers on the 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Home Tour will learn much more about what Cordia offers. They will also be treated to tours of two of the private residences. The basic interior design of both units is by Anne Webb Johnson of Wellesley Interior Design in Massachusetts— who is also responsible for the sophisticated public space interiors.

Johnson outfitted the units with granite countertops, custom ceramic tile showers and cherry cabinetry. The plush carpeting is from Mohawk’s Aladdin collection, color Sand Dollar.

The smart urban furnishings in each residence are

by Scott Shuptrine Interiors (a 4500-square-foot gallery located inside Petoskey’s Art Van Furniture) and include Scott’s private label upholstery, American Leather, Bernhardt, Century, Drexel Heritage and Hooker furniture.

Finishing touches are a mix of John Richard and Ralph Lauren accessories and Momeni area rugs. The residences can be purchased furnished.

ZERO ENERGY BILLS. REALLY. text by elizabeth edwards | photos by todd zawistowski

Consider this: In March, when the rest of us were still shuddering under substantial energy bills as the bitter Northern Michigan winter dragged on, the Lardies, one of the first families to move into Traverse City’s new Depot Neighborhood, paid just $2.50. Yep, that decimal is in the right place: Two dollars and fifty cents for heat and utilities for a family of six. And after this summer, the family’s first in the home, the Lardies will probably never have another energy bill. That’s because the energy made from solar panels on the top of their super-insulated home will generate enough kilowatts to the grid to more than credit the Lardies for what they’ll use next winter.

This lovely waterside home on Old Mission Peninsula speaks with a soft, southern coastal accent: hurricane shutters, a cupola above the outside stone porch and Caribbean colonial pale yellow-and-black color palette.

Inside, the liquid blues of West Grand Traverse Bay flood the great room through expansive windows and a sliding door. Homeowners Fred and Laraine Schorr continued the sophisticated coastal vibe on the interior with choices including a Santos Mahogany floor, beach-glass blue walls, white beadboard and molding and a black granite hearth.

The two-story home hovers around 3,500 square feet but lives much larger thanks to an open great-room floor plan, the expansive porch (outfitted with a stone fireplace) and well-thought-out details, including a Murphy Bed in the office/guest room. In the kitchen the Schorrs (both of whom love to cook) added a circular granite counter-height

0815_NHC_hometour9-12.indd 57

four-top to the end of the working island so that guests can comfortably do what they always do: Hang out in the kitchen while their hosts cook.

The Schorrs can’t say enough about Mike Ferarro and his crew, crediting Mike with a “good eye for design and incredible with follow up and attention to detail.” The homeowners, who lived out of state while construction was going on, made only a handful of trips to check on progress. They trusted Mike so much that when he called to tell them the shade of blue wall paint they’d chosen looked washed out, they trusted him to use his own judgment and paint it one shade darker. Like everything else about this home, the shade ended up to be perfect.

If you’ve ever thought of downsizing (or if you simply love perfectly designed smallish homes!) this home is a must— see. Gary and Nancy Nealis had been living in a much larger house when they decided to simplify their lives by building this 1,800-square-foot home. The clincher? They didn’t want to sacrifice amenities. And a couple of other caveats: their pretty little lot on Old Mission Peninsula with its view of East Grand Traverse Bay was narrow and considered hard to build on. And to boot, the Nealises, who began the project just last winter, wanted to be in their new home by June 2015.

Enter the super-efficient team of architect Robert Holdeman, builder Brian Mohr of Calybr Homes, and Cedar Creek Interiors. The finished product shines like a precious little gem. An open floor plan with a three-season porch and view of the bay, wraps around a courtyard that holds a justthe-right-sized swimming pool—a pool that also has a view of the bay. But the real proof that fine living can come with a diminutive floor plan is a bay window set off the living area with a view of the pool—a nook that offers just enough room for a baby grand piano.

The homeowners can’t say enough about how well Calybr Homes executed the construction and the fine craftsmanship—all the while meeting their six-month timeline. Cedar Creek Interiors added the finishing touches on an interior that breathes relaxed coastal style.

Lynn Didier and her husband, John Karwoski, have a beautiful new home on Lake Skegemog. Lynn also has two talented grandchildren, one of whom, Nikita Hausz, at age 13 last year, made two videos for the couple. The first, Our Dream Home perfectly captures the angst and suspense every homebuilder feels during construction.

The second, Bon Maison, is a montage of the finished home. This one, set to soft classical music, moves through the following images and more: the cathedral-ceiling-high decorated tree the family put up for their first Christmas in the home last year; the stone fireplace lit with a roaring fire; the six-sided prep island topped with glowing Golden Beach granite that echoes the nearby three-sided bar counter; the buttery yellow French Provincial custom cabinetry—complete with a builtin hutch; the outdoor fireplace, the cascading staircase with custom wrought iron; the oversized catwalk that is roomy enough for a sofa to lounge on while you take in views of Lake Skegemog; the luxurious master bedroom with its two-tiered tray ceiling; the whirlpool bath that feels as though it's set in a treehouse ‌ ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS MANAGING EDITOR OF
