330 Homes Summer 2021

The breakfast nook is equally as impressive with a live-edge marble circular table — sur rounded by three floor to-ceiling windows and two overhead Velux sky lights replacing an old leaking one. The previously all-oak kitchen was small for the large house, so relocating a pantry and coat closet opened up space for new side by-side stainless-steel Thermador ovens, a hidden walk-in pantry behind a sliding barn door and new Amish made, quartz-topped white cabinets. There’s a waterfront look with a four-seater light blue island and a wave tile design in the backsplash over the ovens. The surprises turned the project into a com prehensive remodel, so the couple didn’t move back into their dream lake house until last October. The pair are looking forward to their first summer living right on the water and enjoying resort-worthy outdoor amenities: a large pool, a life-size chessboard, a sandy Tiki bar, a practice green, a kitchen and a dock for their red pon toon boat that they take to nearby restaurants. “It feels great,” Kevin says. “We see the lake. It’s so open now. This is really lake living.”
