This lakefront home underwent a complete transformation led by Elysian Estates, blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary warmth. The goal was to refresh a dated layout and bring harmony between the home’s natural setting and interior spaces. Every selection—from the white-oak flooring to the matte-black fixtures—was curated to elevate comfort while honoring the serene lakeside backdrop.

Rooted in a Modern Transitional style, the home balances clean architectural lines with organic materials. The reimagined kitchen features a rich combination of white perimeter cabinetry, a walnut island base, and striking navy tile backsplash that adds depth and character. Brass-lined pendant lighting and sleek black window frames introduce a sophisticated edge.

In the living room, a hand-laid stone fireplace anchors the space with its sculptural form and natural texture, complemented by a solid wood beam mantel. The stairway, finished in white paneling with oak and black metal railings, ties together the home’s material palette—modern yet inviting.

Every detail contributes to a cohesive flow: custom built-ins in the living area, warm woodwork in the mudroom, and expansive windows that frame lake views from nearly every room. Outdoors, a new composite deck extends the living area seamlessly into nature, perfect for gatherings overlooking the water.

Our team guided the homeowners through a thoughtful, step-by-step process—beginning with a design consultation to uncover their vision for a modernized, open-concept home. Once the design direction was set, Elysian managed all aspects of pre-construction planning, coordination with craftsmen, and material selection. During construction, we ensured every finish met the highest standard—precise millwork alignment, concealed mechanicals, and durable finishes suited for lakeside living.
