Lake Sallie, MN · A lakeside home shaped by warm materials, thoughtful details and a close connection to the water.
The project
A familiar welcome. A fresh perspective.
On Lake Sallie, this home brings a compact footprint and a generous sense of character together. Gabled rooflines, green siding and a brick base give the exterior a grounded presence, while the covered lakeside deck creates a sheltered place to watch the water.
Inside, a vaulted wood ceiling and high windows lift the main living space. The kitchen's wood cabinetry and patterned backsplash sit alongside a fireplace composed of brick, stone and a timber mantel. Green and blue bathroom tile, brass fixtures and carefully detailed storage carry that individual character into the quieter rooms.
