Cape Cod Style Vacation Home Offers Panoramic Views

The Lakeview is a vacation home designed to allow full advantage of a panoramic view. Built on beach or lakefront land, this Cape Cod style home lets you continue to enjoy the out-of-doors even when you have to come inside.

Stacks of glass fill most of the wall space on 3 sides of the vaulted great room. French doors on both sides provide cross-ventilation and open onto a covered wrap around porch that frames this dramatic living area.

A large see through fireplace separates the great room from the dining room and serves as a warm focal point. The ceiling in front of the fireplace is two stories high. The hearth is overlooked from vantage points on either side of the chimney that stretches upward by the second-floor loft. Outfitted with bunks, the second floor loft can provide additional sleeping space when needed.

The U-shaped kitchen is brightened by a bay window and offers plenty of counter space. A compact, stacking washer/dryer combination is nestled in an alcove under the stairs. Sliding doors open onto a small back deck shaded by a wooden arbor. This area could be screened if desired. A storage area is conveniently located off the deck.

Both the Lakeview's lower and upper bedrooms have walk-in closets and full bathrooms. The upper bathroom is slightly larger and has a corner shower. The compartmentalized lower bathroom allows one person to perform grooming activities at the sink while another uses the tub or toilet.
