Lake Homes

Designed by Lynn, this cottage on the south shore of Clear Lake was designed specifically to fit on the site formally occupied by the owner's aging home . With four bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, this cottage is deceptively spacious and offers two large open areas for entertaining. Though the lot was somewhat narrow, we were able to include an attached one car garage for the owner's convenience. The bayed nook and elevated deck offer spectacular views of Kasota Island and the lake beyond.

This gorgeous Lake Home was built on Sawmill Lake in Kosciusko County in northern Indiana. The home, designed by Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc., provides 2,381 square ft. of living space above grade and is situated on a finished walk-out basement. A large screened-in deck cantilevers over the sloping lot and creates the feeling of being suspended over the lake. Three fireplaces, bamboo flooring and a geothermal heating and cooling system are just some of the amenities that are featured in this beautiful home.

We do feel however, that the use of those words is appropriate in the description of this garage on Clear Lake.

The height restrictions as well, created a design challenge in allowing for maximum additional storage options on the 2nd level. This obstacle was overcome with the smart use of dormers in strategic locations. The main level is divided in a way that allows for flexibility in how the space is used. In the summer season the rear space can be [...]

Designed by Lynn Delagrange, this home provides 3,085 sq. ft. of living area on the two main floors and an office which is located on the upper half-story. The home has 1,367 sq. ft. of finished area in the walk-out basement as well. The design of this home satisfies the typical priorities of lake property owners with plenty of sleeping areas - 5 bedrooms plus a bunk room that sleeps six - and lots of baths - 4 full baths, including two Jack & Jill baths and a powder room. Three separate decks and a lake level patio provide plenty of options for outdoor entertaining or to simply enjoy the spectacular view of the lake.  An unattached 26' x 40' garage for boat and lake-toy storage accompanies this home directly across the street. We are as proud of this home as the owner's seem to be and think it serves [...]
