This older existing lake home was purchased as an investment initially. Due to it's close proximity to the lake, providing excellent water views, the home had become 'grandfathered' into its location, which created the need to redesign it rather than remove it and build a new home further removed from the lake. The main objective of this project was to give the home some badly needed curb appeal, as well as, up-date the floor plan with larger, more functional living spaces and additional bedrooms.

The new Kitchen was relocated into the addition to create more space for it and the great room. It was finished with stainless steel appliances and backsplash with granite countertops.
