Lake Lida, MN · A light-filled Lake Lida home with warm wood interiors and room to take in the view.
The project
Life on the hillside. Comfort in every room.
The Hillside Haven meets its Lake Lida setting with crisp white gables, a raised deck and a walkout lower level. From the approach to the shoreline, the home offers different ways to experience the land and water around it.
Inside, wood cabinetry and a long kitchen island establish a welcoming center for daily life. Green backsplash tile and dark hardware give the kitchen depth, while a stone fireplace anchors the adjoining living area. Detailed stairwork, practical laundry storage and bright bathrooms continue the balance of warmth and everyday usefulness.
