While I scooped the pile of wet sand we needed for the sand castle, John dug a channel for the lake to wash in. Bird was transfixed, being too small to do anything but watch us. We were the three musketeers, digging for treasure.

Little did I know, it was this place in time– the sand, the lake, and the three brothers together– that was the most valued treasure of all.

editor’s note

A Palm Springs A palm tree grew in our office this spring

First an

apology to native Northern Michigan trees—speaking for my colleagues at Traverse Magazine/Northern Home & Cottage, we love and value you all, from your roots to your crowns. But as the long, cold spring wore on, I, for one, kept thinking about the metal palm trees that the owners of After Effects Salon in Manistee sell in front of their shop on US31.

And that inspired our Cheeky Tiki theme for Northern Style this month.

So, after work one day in early April, our editorial assistant, Evan Perry, drove down and borrowed one of those trees so we could photograph it.

He got back to the office in the evening and set it up smack in the middle of the office. Not a one of us didn’t grin when we walked in the next day and saw it. Which told me, we were all overdue for some fun in the sun. I think you’ll smile when you see how Cheeky Tiki Northern Style turned out. Now that it is summer, blend yourself a piña colada and head for the beach with this magazine—you’ll want to be near water

when you see the three fabulous homes we’ve profiled in this issue.

As for that palm tree—we’re considering keeping it and painting the coconuts cherry red.

uilt in 1927 for overflow guests of Glen Eden Resort, a grand summer enc lave that onc e

graced Glen Lake, the cottage began its life as a humble structure. That said, it was solidly built, and it boasted a marvelously massive fieldstone fireplace embellished with smaller beach stones gathered, no doubt, from the shores of nearby Sleeping Bear Bay. Like its sister structures at Glen Eden and other properties around Glen Lake, the cottage was rented by summer vacationers looking to treat their families to a true Northwoods experience.

Several years after it was constructed, the next owner cobbled two more bedrooms onto the cottage. And at some point, another stone fireplace was added to a room that over the years became the cottageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining room.

By the 1940s, the cottage had become the beloved summer headquarters for the White family, and eventually White-Schilling families, who made their own additions to the structure.

Under their tenure, the home was a touchstone for generations of siblings and cousins who grew up reveling in the freedom of rustic, waterfilled summers, recalls Carolyn Schilling Gery, whose parents were the final owners.

Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, George and Barbara Schilling, sold the cottage in 2004. As good fortune would have it, the buyers were precisely the right family: instead of razing the old structure, as is so often the case with old lake cottages, the

The cottage interior is a purposefully relaxed, casual mix of pattern, textures and colors. “Every corner, every nook and cranny is optimized for relaxed family time,” says Valerie Schmieder of Via Design. “Even the attic space was converted to optimize plenty of sleeping options for the expanding family,” she adds.

gone on to make their own careful tweaks and adjustments to accommodate their modern family, they have taken care to preserve the original scale, intimacy and materials of the original structure.

Before launching the renovation, the homeowners brought in an architect-interiors team from Via Design in Grand Rapids for advice and a reality check. Architect Brian Barkwell, who was on the team, recalls being smitten the moment he set eyes on the stone fireplaces. Via was onboard, and so began what has become a decade-long process of stabilization, maintenance and renovation that has also included Chris Mason of Mason Construction and Ed Johnson of Northern Property Management.

The homeowners are avid collectors of local art. The focus of life at the cottage is always the beach

The exterior changed from a pale brown to a rich chocolate shade, trimmed in white and topped with a green-shingled roof. A new screened-in porch facing the lake added a wonderful place for the family to while away Glen Lake days and evenings. Builders raised the attic roof to make room for more bedrooms—small and charmingly simple spaces under the rafters—and they retrofitted an outbuilding into a bunkhouse for their teenaged children and their friends.

Removing the wall between the old kitchen and the dining room made way for a kitchen spacious enough for family and friends to mingle, cook and eat together—all in front of the stone fireplace that was once sequestered in the dining room. Mason and his carpenters refurbished the original beadboard cabinetry—and then replicated it in a new bank of cabinets across the room. Two farmhouse-style sinks, one in each bank of cabinets, render the Northern Home & Cottage

kitchen extremely functional while preserving a vintage feel.

The homeowners have welcomed members of the White-Schilling family, Carolyn among them, to see what they have done with the cottage. “They have done a beautiful job of mixing the historic flourishes of an old cottage with a modern home,” Carolyn says.

This spring, the homeowners added on to the screened porch—and in so doing, again demonstrated their sensitivity to the character of the cottage they have come to cherish.

“In our last meeting, [the homeowner] expressed that she was a little nervous about making the screened porch bigger because she loves being in that close space with her family,” says Victor Scalzo of Via Design. “She did not want to lose that cozy, Michigan cotAbove: “My favorite touches in the home are the ones that the homeowner made with personal collections of favorite things,” says Via Design’s Valerie Schmieder. “A collection of antique aprons hang from whimsical hooks in the dining space, while a variety of pink china and glassware are stored in open shelves of the kitchen, providing the inspiration for the pink color scheme in the room.” Below: The new sidewalk (visible in the opening photo) is inlaid with beach stones so that it echoes the stonework on the chimney and fireplac

esidential designer Fred Ball does a pretty fair job of camouflaging his widely respected design brilliance with a casual Hoosier drawl.

His client, Susan Covatta, a Cincinnati girl, says, with Midwestern modesty, that she’s never been good at anything much, but maybe she does “have an eye.”

Don’t let their humility fool you. Together, this designer-client team conceptualized the inspired summer cottage that Susan owns with her husband, Tony. Perched on a Lake Michigan bluff north of Harbor Springs, the Covatta cottage is original, simple, fresh and disarmingly sophisticated. Above all, it is what it was meant to be: a haven for capturing lake light, breezes, vistas and the relaxation that comes with that ambiance.

The story of the house’s design dates back to a dark split-level that had graced the exquisite bluff-top property since the late 1950s—and that had, according to Tony, “seen better days” by the time the couple started thinking renovation. They’d owned the place for 25 years, but had summered in it for about 35 years, so they were understandably attached to the dowdy cottage—filled with beachside memories as it

Above: The home’s otherwise simple design soars with a determined use of detail including exposed rafter tails and even flying tails tha extend several feet beyond the roofline. Opposite: Susan describes her furnishing style as eclectic: “A mixture of modern Scandinavian, Mexican and antiques.” She credits Shannon Riley of Voltage in Cincinnati, Ohio, with helping her to acquire many of her furnishings.

was. So they began the arduous process of talking with builders and designers about the possibility of renovating it. Everybody they talked to said it would take a boggling amount of work and money to transform the house.

During his inspection on a rainy, dreary day, Fred didn’t tell them anything different. In fact, he was even more pointed: After coming up from the lower level with its cramped two bedrooms and laundry room, he declared, “That’s the most depressing space I’ve ever been in.”

“I could tell we’d found the right architect,” Susan says with a laugh. While it was obvious to the couple that Fred was going to be upfront with them, they also intuited that Fred understood what they liked and what they didn’t like about the floor plan.

In the end, with Fred’s blessing, the couple tore down the old structure and built new.

Slightly flared exterior walls add interest to the façade, while the metal roof will last many decades. A magnificent ipe deck in the back looks over Lake Michigan, taking in views of the Beaver Island archipelago.

flipped it left to right to maximize the view of the dunes.

Fred also delivered a novel take on the split-level idea, placing the split at one end of the cottage, instead of at the foyer as is more traditional. The result is an amazing six bedrooms tucked quietly away from the serene ground-floor public area that houses the kitchen, dining and living area and sunny, book-lined library.

With the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shell agreed upon, Fred and Susan focused their dialogue on the interior. Much of their conversation revolved around the Swedish beach houses Susan had seen while traveling in Scandinavia with Tony. Susan was enamored with the way the cottagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fresh, whitewashed surfaces played up the seashore light while providing the perfect backdrop for the clean lines of mid-century modern Scandinavian furniture.

From its tawny-colored reclaimed, pickled oak floor to pine beadboard on the walls and ceilings, the interior speaks with an unmistakable Scandinavian inflection of warm wood and modern sensibilities. A cream-colored plaster fireplace parlays the shades-of-white theme, and

Looking down from the upstairs level onto the dining area. The white bowl on the table is from Huzza in Harbor Springs, another of Susan’s favorite décor haunts.

a bank of French doors topped with transom windows running along the lakeside bathes the interior in that precious sea light. The transoms are mirrored on the opposite wall, a touch as elegant as it is functional: Cross ventilation through the sets of awning-style windows obviates the need for air conditioning.

Susan’s (mostly) mid-century modern furnishings round out the striking interior that is also marked by careful craftsmanship, a quality that the Covattas attribute to Scott Kennard’s team from Wentworth Builders.

“Our house in Cincinnati was built by great workmen, but as good as they were, they were no match for Scott’s men,” Tony says, going on to describe coming upon one of the carpenters building the shelves in the library. “He made sure every board was absolutely perfect … smoothed them, caressed them, sighted along them. They built the entire house like that.”

The home is wrapped in cedar shingles, a nod to Nantucket, a place that also figures into Susan’s lifetime of summer memories. The cottage’s landscaping consists mostly of a sea of dune grass plantings—swaying in the lake breezes, the bright green blades seeming to serenade the essential natural beauty of the Covatta’s summer cottage.

sk any Northern Michigan real estate pro, and they’ll tell you that the market is recovering. Homes and cottages are selling faster, for higher prices. Just a few years ago,

though, listings were plentiful and bargains easy to find, even for the kind of prime lakefront properties people dream about. Serious buyers were scarce but savvy, and now, as demand and values climb, they are happy to count themselves among the few who “got in” at the perfect time.

Most weekends, you can find one such couple enjoying their modern bluff-side getaway near Cross Village. Jessica Woll, a Detroit-area family law attorney, and her husband, Don Stewart, an executive at Chrysler, combined good timing with keen vision when they purchased the thenunfinished house in 2008. The 6,000-square-foot structure had sat in a skeletal state for about two years, due to the recession. Jessica and Don were drawn to the home’s geometric shape and modern sensibility as well as its woodsy site on Sturgeon Bay, near where they had vacationed for many years. When they finished the house, they maintained its original personality, enhancing it for their own needs.

We’re more cognizant of the environment [Up North] because the natural beauty is right there in front of us.

Jessica and Don love modern design, and they wanted a unique Up North home in a private, natural setting. Respecting the land was important to them, and the home’s gentle footprint is certified by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The certification was achieved through careful siting, geothermal heating and cooling, and selection of eco-friendly materials. The landscaping on the 3½-acre site is very minimal, and the dark exterior color scheme of the home helps it blend into the mature trees.

“We’re more cognizant of the environment [Up North] because the natural beauty is right there in front of us,” Jessica says.

Inside the house, Lake Michigan is visible from nearly every room.

The cantilevered master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling glass seems to float over the waves. Jessica sometimes wakes up to see eagles searching the water for breakfast.

The master suite’s Carrara marble bath (above) is upstaged only by the miles-long view from its corner position over the lake (below).

“There’s an inside-out aspect to every space,” says Jessica. This design feature is especially welcome when large groups gather here. The

From top: The homeowners respected the natural state of the site by limiting lawn space. The house itself is dark, to blend better with the woods. A scrapmetal sculpture of two horses by local artist Doug Melvin greets visitors. The sculpture’s rusty components reflect the heavy metalwork on the house

five-bedroom, five-and-one-half–bathroom house is often full of family and friends enjoying all that Cross Village and Harbor Springs have to offer, all year long. That includes skiing at Boyne Highlands, biking through the beloved tunnel of trees on M-119 and, of course, running down the zigzagging staircase with a sun-dried towel to hit the beach.

Jessica also loves art and indulges that interest with her 8-year-old daughter, India, at Three Pines Studio in Cross Village. The gallery and studio holds workshops for all ages and sells local fine art and crafts. It’s where she purchased an unusual tribute to India’s equestrian hobby: a life-sized, recycled-metal sculpture of two horses by Boyne City artist Doug Melvin. The piece greets visitors in the front yard. Personal touches like this stand out against the minimal look of the home.

The minimalism has a cottagey counterpoint, though, with glossy-white beadboard hung horizontally throughout the house. In the kitchen, the beadboard plays off Shakerstyle cabinetry, a custom-made modular table and a kilim rug over ipe flooring. The result is a distinctly original look thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warm but still clean and modern.

The family has been enjoying the retreat for several years now. They have thoughts of expanding, maybe adding a pool for the shoulder seasons. Timing was all-important in the beginning, but now when the family arrives Up North, all the pressure is off. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect place to take in the views and the fresh air blowing across Sturgeon Bay.

A breezy sitting area in the attic is lined with windows that have sensors to shut them automatically when it rains.
