Old live oaks, an elevated lot, and expansive lake views inspired this Michael Weinrich Architects design, anchored by a generous and open front porch.

An upward sloped roof exaggerates the scale while a meandering stairway creates a welcoming transition from the sidewalk to the porch. Inside, the open living area with a high sloping ceiling mimics the shape and volume of the porch.

To the right of the entry, a built-in eating area looks out to the lake, creating an intimate feel within the expansive space. Just beyond, a large, open mudroom and pantry lead out to the garage and a window-filled stairway shows off a towering oak tree as you make your way to the second floor.

To the left of the entry, a spacious office looks out to the lake, while the private master suite extends towards the back of the house and offers serene views of the pool.
