Project Description
The owners of one of the most remarkable properties on Snow Lake approached us to explore the possibility of removing their existing cottage and constructing a new home. They partnered with Mike Christofferson, a well‑known local architect, to design a residence that not only meets their needs but also complements the beauty of the site.
The finished home will be a 2,773‑square‑foot, two‑story lake house built on a piling‑supported crawl‑space foundation. The conditioned and insulated crawl space will feature a non‑structural concrete floor, creating an ideal area for storage. An unfinished walk‑in attic on the second floor will provide additional storage capacity.
The floor plan includes five bedrooms, along with a flexible room that can serve as an office or a sixth bedroom. The owner’s suite is located on the main level, along with an open kitchen, dining, and family room layout. A laundry room and powder room complete the main‑level amenities.
The second floor offers a spacious full bath, an additional laundry area, and a cozy sitting area that provides a quiet retreat.
A wrap‑around covered porch will allow the owners to enjoy the expansive panoramic views that make this Snow Lake property so exceptional. The home will also include a single‑car garage for parking and extra storage.
Comfort will be ensured with two independent HVAC systems serving each floor. A tankless water heater will provide efficient, virtually endless hot water.
This home will be the third project we have had the privilege of completing on Hickory Island, and we are honored to have been entrusted with each one.
