Lake Park, MN · A hilltop home that pairs far-reaching views with room for everyday living and outdoor pursuits.
The project
A new vantage point. A place for everything.
This custom home makes the most of a previously undeveloped hilltop, with views toward three lakes. Generous windows connect the interior to the treetops and water, while a covered front porch, layered gables and a broad approach give the home a welcoming presence.
Inside, warm wood cabinetry, pale counters and an open stair create a practical, connected interior. The upper lounge takes advantage of the elevated outlook. A detached storage building adds room for an RV, a workshop and boat storage, bringing the family’s interests into the planning of the property.
