Details
Featuring a classic H-shaped plan and minimalist details, the Winston was designed with the modern family in mind. This home carefully balances a sleek and uniform façade with more contemporary elements. This balance is best noticed when looking at the home on an axis with the front or rear doors. Simple lap siding serves as a backdrop to the careful arrangement of windows and outdoor spaces. Stepping through a pair of natural wood entry doors gives way to sweeping vistas through the living and dining rooms. Anchoring the left side of the main level, and on axis with the living room, is a large white kitchen island and tiled range surround.
To the right, and behind the living room’s sleek fireplace, is a vertical corridor that grants access to the upper-level bedrooms, main-level master suite, and lower-level spaces. Serving as a backdrop to this vertical corridor is a floor-to-ceiling glass display room for a sizable wine collection. Set three steps down from the living room and through an articulating glass wall, the screened porch is enclosed by a retractable screen system that allows the room to be heated during cold nights. In all rooms, preferential treatment is given to maximize exposure to the rear yard, making this a perfect lakefront home.
