Long Lake Shores Drive | 2018 Detroit Home Design Award Winner

Transitional Exterior, Detroit

This modern prairie style home in Bloomfield Hills is rock solid with its generous Fond du Lac and limestone exterior. Clear cedar channel lap siding complements the soft tones of the natural stone and warms the façade. A mahogany entry system and garage doors complete the color scheme, while a majestic tapered chimney and wide overhangs add grandeur to this 2015 design. Floor to ceiling windows with divided lite transoms add Craftsman personality and admit an abundance of natural light into the spacious, free flowing open floor plan of the home. A circular window at the back of the house is reminiscent of a ship’s porthole, giving a nautical nod to the home’s lakeside location. Walnut floors run throughout the home, unifying the rooms for a cohesive look. The open concept kitchen and family room features a large stone fireplace wall and opens onto the expansive deck for ultimate lake views. The deck can also be accessed from the dramatic double height dining room, where twin built-in buffets and a table for twelve make large scale entertaining as breezy as a day out on the lake.
