Designed for a sloping lot, the 3,013-square-foot “Mountain Lake Home” features an open-concept layout, a deep front porch, and an attached 2-car garage. In the back, you’ve got a pool, a fire pit, and a moody outdoor kitchen.
Look at All the Stone Accents and Wood Detailing in the Facade!
Wood beams, stone accents, and large dark-framed windows blend traditional craftsman elements with contemporary flair. The first thing that caught my eye was the gabled roof with exposed timber.
Open-Concept Living with Multiple Outdoor Spaces, Pool House and Outdoor Kitchen
This the outdoor-loving entertainer’s dream home. Notice all the covered decks front and back. Huge open concept layout. Pool house with pool which is so much fun for entertaining (along with the outdoor kitchen lol). Yup, this is the home design for people who love to spend time with friends outside.

Lower Level Floor Plan With Some Hidden Surprises
Don’t worry if the two bedrooms on the main floor aren’t enough for your family. You’ve got two more bedrooms on the lower level. But that’s not all you’ll find downstairs. There’s a family room, a wet bar, an exercise room, a dedicated golf simulator room, and a storage area (with a hidden safe room!).

When Landscaping Complements Architecture, This Is What You Get
From this side, you can see how the landscaping complements the design. Using plants and rocks to create a natural transition is a clever move, isn’t it?
Now, Let’s Take a Look at the 2-Car Garage
Notice how the garage’s dark exterior contrasts with the lighter wood framing? Nice touch! I also love the transoms. They bring natural light into what could have been a dim space.
Backyard Oasis With an Irregularly-Shaped Pool and Some Boulders
Right behind the garage is a pool house that leads to this pool/tub area. The pool is irregularly shaped but not in a bad way. It sort of mimics natural bodies of water, which creates an overall organic feel. The integration of large boulders definitely helps that organic look as well.
The Lower Level Peaks Out (It’s a Sloping Lot, Remember?)
From this angle, you can see how private and shaded the patio really is. Still, the lower deck doesn’t feel disconnected. The stone pillars tie the whole design together.
A Closer Look at Those Stone Pillars Against the Glass Facade
Floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the backside, and the stone pillars supporting the upper deck contrast the sleek glass surfaces. That’s a nice textural balance.
Stone Fire Pit in Front of an Oversized Glass Door
Remember the pool house attached to the garage? It’s got a built-in fireplace, but I think the outdoor fire pit will get way more use. I, for one, am in love with the mix of textures here—woven wicker chairs, concrete flooring, rough stone fire pit, glass door, and wood paneling!
Moody Outdoor Kitchen With String-Like Lighting and Weathered Paneling
Warm-toned lights create a moody ambiance in this kitchen. Plus, the dark cabinets and weathered wood paneling add depth and character.
