Coastal Luxury Home

Traditional Home Bar, Detroit

In this custom home, the lower lake level was designed with entertaining in mind. A favorite gathering spot is the warm and welcoming corner bar. The area is defined by impressive 8x8 timber posts and beams including authentic corbels and pinned construction. On one end, a spectacular timber arch frames the barrel-vaulted tongue and grooved ceiling above. Storage and seating are created using beautiful matte gray cabinetry while state of the art appliance make entertaining a breeze. Full-height stone backsplash and walls add to the old-world charm and extend to a must-see wine cellar just a few steps away. Certainly, one of the most unique features is the enclosed glass case that houses one of the homeowner's prized model ships. The case was custom-built using the same cabinetry, arched panels, mirrored back, and specialty lighting. Finally, the fabulous wooden countertop with a lift-up access panel invites all who enter to have a seat and enjoy.
