A house by a lake can be a relaxing getaway or a year-round residence. An innovative, skilled lake home builder can give you custom features that make the space unique while highlighting its gorgeous natural surroundings. Here are a few ideas to create a special property.

3 Features to Integrate Into a Custom Lakeside House

1. Outdoor Kitchen

Add an outdoor kitchen to facilitate cooking and entertaining. Having this area outdoors lets you prepare meals with a view while staying with guests instead of running to and from the kitchen. To enhance the area, ask your lake home builder to incorporate top-quality equipment, such as a stainless steel sink, barbecue smoker and grill, and wine fridge.

2. Wrap-Around Porch

Install a wrap-around porch to enjoy stunning views from anywhere in your lake home. Spring, summer, and fall offer countless opportunities to relax outside and take in the sights of drifting boats, majestic birds, and colorful foliage. Create a cozy lounge area to sip coffee or wine while reading, enjoying the breeze, and listening to the soothing sounds of te lake.

3. Floor-to-Ceiling Windows

Add floor-to-ceiling windows to get unobstructed views of the beautiful surrounding landscape. The large panes will also let ample natural light filter through the space, making the house feel larger, airier, and more inviting. Ask your lake home builder about the best options for energy-efficient windows and insulated frames to keep the living spaces comfortable year-round.you also may want to install whisper quiet low profile shades for sunlight control or total black out.!!
