A dramatic face lift and interior redesign transformed this dated getaway into a functional home that optimizes its lakefront lot. Community lot restrictions imposed the additional challenge of improving the home’s livability without expanding the footprint. Moving a powder room from the lake-facing wall to the foyer allowed for windows across the entire rear and created access to a new patio. Simply switching the locations of the kitchen and dining room meant that kitchen cabinets could be placed along a necessary interior wall. The walls that previously held the cabinets and separated the kitchen/dining area from the foyer and great room were demolished.
