Residence Lake Winnipesaukee

Located on a secluded peninsula on the north shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, the residence harkens back to the early Adirondack cabins settled along the lake’s shores at the turn of the century. Rustic details with exposed timber beams and columns are found throughout the home. The main entry features real log columns and branches as decorative treatments reflecting the rural nature of the site. A large stone fireplace serves as the focal point for the family room at one end of the house, while a secluded sleeping porch anchors the other end. Rustic details abound as you navigate the 5,846 square foot cabin. A reading nook, framed in wide wood planks, presents a cozy window seat nestled into a dormer overlooking picturesque views of the lake. The bunkroom is long and narrow with enough beds to accommodate a last minute sleepover. The master bedroom features a commanding wrap-around view of the lake, while the master bath provides the perfect retreat to take in the rainbow of colors chasing after each sunset. Log and stone columns frame the lake views from the covered porch and serve as allegorical sentinels along the building’s primary façade. The stone motif is carried through, along the entire foundation, giving the building a solid and secure base. Red cedar shingles, cut logs and birch bark are fused together as siding, much like that found on turn of the century cabins all around the lake.
