The owners requested our help in locating property in rural Allen County to construct a new  home upon. The search resulted in a rare find of an estate sized rural site with public water and sewer available. The homesite offers seclusion while having the ammenities found in most improved home sites. It seems appropriate for such a stunning home to have been built on this special plot of ground. With 4,930 sq. ft. of living area, this one and one-half story home boasts 3 large bedrooms, each with access to private full baths. An office is conveniently located just off of the foyer and a super sized laundry room is nicely situated off of the 4 car garage. A see-thru fireplace divides the formal dining room from the great room. Another fireplace is located in the sun room, which also has unique fold-up windows that we have not installed in [...]

This home is our second to be constructed in the Silver Leaf addition between Auburn and Ft. Wayne off of Tonkel Rd. The project is very similar to the first one completed in Silver Leaf, in that the scope of work included an outbuilding.

There are 3 1/2 [...]

With many interests, the owners were very clear in what they wanted in a lake home and many of those desires were met in this design. A heated separate garage connected to the home by a covered porch serves the dual purpose of a shop and offseason boat storage. A craft room in the lower level was also high on the list of wishes as well as a trophy room that was incorporated into the floor plan. A large exterior composite deck and secluded hot tub patio provides outdoor entertainment areas and a concrete ramp to the [...]
