Sears Architects together with Villa Decor have designed this shingle-style waterfront dream house nestled along Glen Lake, a lake located just minutes from Glen Arbor in Northern Michigan. Perched right along the lake, this beautiful home was created as a lake house retreat for a family to enjoy during the summer months.

Inside you will find family-friendly living spaces that are also perfect for hosting extended family and friends, from the great room to the bunk beds. There is also a convenient outdoor shower to rinse off before coming into the house through the mudroom entrance. A three-season screened porch allows the family to enjoy the lake views while being sheltered from the elements.

What We Love: This waterfront dream house provides a family with a wonderful place to call home during the summer months. We love all of the nautical accents throughout this home, from the “No Diving” hexagon floor tiles in the kid’s bathroom to the playful bunk beds and the beautiful stone-clad fireplace in the living room. This home provides plenty of amazing spaces to enjoy lakeside living, from the screened porch to the backyard deck that overlooks the water.
