Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and nearly 3,900 square feet spread across a craftsman lake house with navy siding, stacked stone columns, and a dock just off the back patio. This is the kind of plan that gets built once and stays in the family.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 3,838
- Bedrooms: 5
- Bathrooms: 4.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
The main level keeps things open where it counts — kitchen, living, and dining flow together — while the master bedroom, covered porch, and attached garage each occupy their own defined corners without the layout feeling chopped up.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
The upper floor puts a master suite front and center — oversized walk-in closet, private bath, balcony access — with a study tucked in beside it. From there, the hall connects to a family room, a second full bath, and attic storage stretched across the rear perimeter. Stairwell and linen placement keep circulation sensible without burning square footage on corridors you’d resent paying for.
Worth Knowing: Most buyers don’t think about attic access until they’re standing in a finished house wondering where the holiday boxes went. Having five labeled attic zones distributed across the upper floor means storage is actually organized by location rather than shoved into a single crawl space nobody wants to use. Small call on the plan, real difference to live with.
Floor Plan – Bonus
The top level is essentially one big bonus room — roughly 29 by 28 feet — reached by two stairwells so you’re not funneling everyone through a single point. A balcony hangs off the left side, and the family room sits mid-right flanked by labeled attic spaces. The stairwell-to-bonus-room path is direct enough that the living zone stays genuinely separate from the storage perimeter rather than bleeding into it.
Navy Siding and Stone Base Make This Lakefront Home Hard to Forget
Horizontal navy lap siding over a rough-cut stone foundation gives the exterior two distinct personalities that somehow hold together. White columns carry the covered porch across both levels, and hydrangeas planted along the stone base do exactly the softening work they’re supposed to. Out back, a dock sits just past the patio steps — which tells you everything about how this property gets used on a Saturday afternoon.
Editor’s Note: Stone foundations on lakefront homes aren’t purely decorative. Below-grade moisture exposure on waterfront lots makes dense masonry a practical first line of defense against long-term water intrusion, and it’s a detail worth asking about specifically if you’re buying near water. Find out whether the stone is structural or a veneer over standard framing — the answer matters more than it looks like it does.
Navy Siding Meets Stone on a Lakefront Home Built for the Long View
From this angle the navy lap siding and stacked stone columns read as a single coherent decision rather than two materials competing for attention. Upper porch railings and white trim pull enough light into the facade that the dark siding never tips into heavy.
Why It Works: Raised porches on lakefront homes earn their keep twice over — you get usable outdoor living space and the main floor sits above the moisture and flood risk that waterfront sites bring. Running stone columns beneath the deck instead of wood also cuts long-term maintenance considerably in a wet environment. Practical reasoning, good-looking result.
Now the focus shifts indoors, where the kitchen takes center stage.
White Cabinetry and a Dark Island Keep This Kitchen Grounded
A dark walnut island base against painted white perimeter cabinets is a contrast that works because neither side is trying too hard. The mosaic tile backsplash, pendant lighting overhead, and a round dining table with upholstered chairs bring the open-plan space into focus — everything contributing without anything demanding attention it hasn’t earned.
