What We Love: This French countryside home is full of beautiful details that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We absolutely love the great room with its cozy fireplace and built-in cabinetry that adds a sense of modern opulence. A customized kitchen island and cabinetry provide the ideal foundation for memorable gatherings while an intimate dining area formed by a curved wall of windows is a wonderful space for hosting dinner parties.

Despite this home’s elegant and gracious aesthetics, living spaces offer plenty of comfort and function throughout.

Lavish Kitchen

The spacious lakefront kitchen delights with lavish appliances, a butler’s pantry, plus a curved two-tier center island that’s echoed by curved banquette seating for informal dining. Transition spaces adjacent to the kitchen include a hearth room and a separate sitting room with access to the immense outdoor living spaces.

The kitchen perimeter cabinetry is soft maple painted in Chamois SW 6131 – Sherwin-Williams, while the island cabinetry is Alder with a Chocolate Stain. The hardwood flooring is Northwoods 8” Walnut Common Grade with a Natural Bona Finish.

Great Room

An amazing great room is the perfect gathering space, with 14-foot ceilings, statement-stained beams trimmed in Alderwood, and a grand copper fireplace ensconced with cast stone.
