Shingle details and handsome stone accents give this traditional carriage house the look of days gone by while maintaining all of the convenience of today. The goal for this home was to maximize the views of the lake and this three-story home does just that. With multi-level porches and an abundance of windows facing the water. The exterior reflects character, timelessness, and architectural details to create a traditional waterfront home. The exterior details include curved gable rooflines, crown molding, limestone accents, cedar shingles, arched limestone head garage doors, corbels, and an arched covered porch. Objectives of this home were open living and abundant natural light. This waterfront home provides space to accommodate entertaining, while still living comfortably for two. The interior of the home is distinguished as well as comfortable. Graceful pillars at the covered entry lead into the lower foyer. The ground level features a bonus room, full bath, walk-in closet, and garage. Upon entering the main level, the south-facing wall is filled with numerous windows to provide the entire space with lake views and natural light. The hearth room with a coffered ceiling and covered terrace opens to the kitchen and dining area. The best views were saved on the upper level for the master suite. Third-floor of this traditional carriage house is a sanctuary featuring an arched opening covered porch, two walk-in closets, and an en suite bathroom with a tub and shower. Round Lake carriage house is located in Charlevoix, Michigan. Round lake is the best natural harbor on Lake Michigan. Surrounded by the City of Charlevoix, it is uniquely situated in an urban center, but with access to thousands of acres of the beautiful waters of northwest Michigan. The lake sits between Lake Michigan to the west and Lake Charlevoix to the east.

ames Hardie Aged Pewter siding made this Edina MN home into an instant classic. As you can see from the before picture, this 1950’s era Edina home was in need of an exterior update. Once the old cedar shakes were removed, we inspected the sheathing underneath to make sure that we were going over a sound substrate. We then wrapped the home in James Hardie’s HardieWrap to guard against moisture intrusion and stop any air infiltration. After the wrap was installed we used the James Hardie Arctic White trim for the fascia and window trim. One of the key features on this home was the use of the maintenance free crown moulding to duplicate the original look. We then installed the Aged Pewter straight edge shakes. Instead of using trim on the corners, we used metal corners to give the shakes a mitered look. We were able to highlight the gable of this Edina MN home by using James Hardie Aged Pewter lap siding to create a unique detail that breaks up the big surface of the gable. The final touch was the new custom made shutters in black. These shutters are the recessed panel type. By replacing the garage door along with the project, these homeowners were able to get a contrast to their James Hardie Aged Pewter straight edge shakes that kept with the overall look of the house. Another key piece of this transformation was the painting of the brick. Brick holds paint fairly well if it is in good shape. This can be one area where you can save some money by painting your existing brick instead of taking it off to replace it with stone or siding.
