With 2,055 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house offers ample room for both family living and entertaining. The standout feature of The Laurentien is its inviting wraparound porch, perfect for enjoying scenic views and outdoor relaxation, while the single-car garage provides convenient storage for your vehicle and lakeside gear.
The Laurentien Exterior with A-Frame Structure, Exposed Beams, and Wraparound Deck
The Laurentien features a modern take on the Chalet style architecture with influences from contemporary and modern A-frame designs. It features a steeply pitched roof with prominently exposed beams and a large central gable. The extensive use of decking, with glass railings in a minimalistic style, enhances outdoor living space and offers unobstructed views. The elevated design with an integrated garage on the basement level also provides additional storage and usable space beneath the living areas.
Main Level Floor Plan
The main floor features an open-concept design with a central living area that includes a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The entryway from the covered porch leads directly into the living room. To the right of the living room is the kitchen, complete with a pantry and adjacent to a combined dining area that opens onto a terrace. The left side of this floor houses the private master suite with a large master bathroom and another bedroom, along with a second bathroom that includes a shower.

Sleek Gray Exterior .. Not as Visually Striking as the White Version
A gray-toned alternative that retains the A-frame structure and large windows. The wraparound deck with glass railings remains unchanged, offering continuity in the outdoor space. The gray exterior adds a cool, subdued tone, giving the house a modern and sophisticated look, although it lacks the striking contrast of the original white.
Warm Beige Alternative .. Fits Well with the Rustic Architectural Elements
In my opinion, the beige exterior brings warmth and a more rustic feel to the design. This version blends more seamlessly with the green surroundings, but may not stand out as much as the original white design. It could be seen as more muted compared to the original.
Bold Blue Version to Bring out the Modern Design Elements
Here’s a bold blue exterior that contrasts sharply with the natural backdrop. The blue color offers a more eye-catching and distinctive look compared to the original white, though it might clash with certain environments depending on the setting. It’s not my favorite if we’re being honest.
Bold Red Exterior with Dark Accents .. Not for the Faint-Hearted
A bold red exterior paired with dark accents gives this version a striking and dramatic appearance. The dark accents provide a stronger contrast, emphasizing architectural details more prominently than the other versions.
Same Thing but with Classic White Accents Instead
A more traditional version of the daring red exterior. This color combination offers a classic, appealing contrast, lending the home a traditional yet stylish charm.
Same as the Original Version with Subtly Accented Features
Returning to a white exterior, this version integrates more subtle accents compared to the original. The subtler contrast in accents gives a minimalistic yet modern look, making it versatile for various natural landscapes. I love that this version maintains the original design’s brightness and versatility but with less striking contrasts.
