This four-story lakefront home was designed by architecture studio Archiscapes and beautifully decorated by Urban Grace Interiors, located in WaterColor, Florida. According to the architects, the home was “designed to blend the styles of historic Florida cottages and the elegance of New Orleans mansions.” The exterior design is stunning, from the New Orleans-inspired wrap-around porch to the stately white columns. Inspired by Florida beach homes is the metal roof, exposted rafter tails and massive tower with a widow’s walk.
Beckoning you to the home’s French front door is the wooden rockers set on the front porch to the glow from the gas lanterns. Encompassing 5,086 square feet of living space, the cottage boasts six bedrooms and six bathrooms. The interiors are ultra-inviting with white shiplap walls and soaring shiplap-clad ceiling painted in a serene blue. Complimenting this is heart pine floors, beautiful white marble tile and luminosity throughout.
Highlights to this lakefront cottage includes an open plan great room showcasing seven sets of French doors with transom windows, spilling out onto a covered porch with a spacious dining area. There is also an expansive swimming pool, lounge spaces, a ping-pong table and a fully appointed carriage house.
