Lowell Custom Homes designed this stunning lakefront house for a couple of empty nesters to enjoy the luxury of lake living in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The owners wanted to make the most of their free time, where the design of a conservatory for the avid gardener with lakefront views was a top priority.
The main floor accommodates all of their leisure pursuits with a luxury kitchen, first floor owner’s bedroom suite, workout room, potting shed, and conservatory, while the lower level houses an extensive wine collection, infrared sauna, play area, and plenty of storage.

The second story is dedicated to the privacy and comfort of its guests, featuring a lounge area, kitchenette, bedrooms, and even a nursery. This energy-efficient plan allows separate areas to be closed off when not in use while offering comfort and privacy to homeowners and guests alike.
Starting with the custom entry doors and opening into the large, luxurious kitchen, every detail was carefully planned by Interior Designer Jane Shepard. A subtle nautical reference is made throughout the home with a barrel-vaulted den ceiling and a guest bunk room with a maritime theme that includes an air dryer conveniently mounted for drying hair. Multiple guest rooms provide a magnificent view of the lake, with one adjacent to the nursery.
What We Love: This lakefront house was beautifully designed for empty nesters to enjoy the serenity of lake living. Expansive windows capture breathtaking lake views, creating an ever-present connection to the water. A light-filled conservatory provides the homeowners and avid gardeners with a tranquil spot to relax and unwind. We love the inviting, nautical-inspired guest bedrooms, which make this home ideal for hosting overnight guests.
