Country French Home Near Auburn

Silver Leaf addition is the site of one of our latest completed project. The subdivision offers estate sized lots on, what once was, land occupied by Deer Track Golf Course. Along with large building sites, the development's covenants allow for separate outbuildings. Construction of a 1,100 sq. ft. unattached garage was included as part of the overall project and the exterior building materials match the new home. The new home provides 3,321 sq. ft. of living area on one level. An unconditioned, partially finished attic is conveniently accessed by a permanent stairway and offers 500 sq. ft. of storage or future living area if desired. The home consists of 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a den/office as well as a large covered porch with a wood burning fireplace. An over-sized gas fireplace is the centerpiece of the large great room, kitchen and dining area. 9', 10' and 11' ceilings add [...]

Lake Home Design/Build on Lake James

The owners of this incredible lot on Eagle Island, which lays between Lake James and Snow Lake, asked us to help them with the design of a home that would do this site justice. With lots of issues such as wetland setbacks and a road misaligned with the platted right-of-way, the lot certainly presented Lynn with design challenges for the home as well as wending our way through the process of getting governmental approvals. The result of the extra effort in design and permitting is a gorgeous 2,446 sq. ft craftsman style two-story home built on a slab foundation. There are 3 full baths serving 3 bedrooms. Most of the activity will center around the open great room and kitchen area on the main floor. A very large bonus room over the garage was constructed and can be used as a secondary activity center as well as for overflow sleeping [...]

Mountain Style Home in Northern Allen County

We are extremely excited to have been selected to design and build this mountain style home on Cedarville Reservoir in northern Allen County. The spectacular views offered on this home site are rarely found locally and it demanded that a new home built there should take every possible advantage of those beautiful vistas. The owners requested Lynn's assistance in designing a home that would do just that. An existing home was demolished to make way for this exquisitely designed and well appointed new single family residence. Now complete, this two-story home is comprised of 3,300 square feet of living space over a finished daylight basement. The three bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths are accompanied by two offices and a sun room. An over-sized attached two car garage provides additional storage to that provided by an outbuilding that shares the site. The open linear design of the great room, dining room [...]
