Greystone Cottage

 

Greystone is a deceivingly large complex of cabins, additions and connections. It appears as a quaint cottage, but wraps itself across its site on Mullett Lake.  At this point, two of three phases have been completed adding not only a garage with extra storage and bedrooms, but also extending the master suite and a full overhaul of the kitchen and sunrooms.

Beautiful remodel on a peaceful lake setting.

                      --

 

This lovely estate started as a quaint cottage. It sits on a peninsula in a private lake near Mancelona MI. It is lavishly appointed with custom tile, stone fireplaces with custom iron work and a lake view from almost nearly every room.

New Life for an Old Log Cabin

 

 

 

 This large natural log structure in Point Nipagon, MI started as a very nice, but small cabin many years ago.  Its new owners decided to keep it, and adapt it to their modern needs.  The remodel included a new entry way connecting it to the existing garage, a new living room, kitchen and dining room, and new finishes and furnishing throughout.  The original stone fireplace was preserved entirely.

Contemporary remodel

 

 

This modern two-story was gorgeous. The owners decided they needed more space without really changing the feel of the home. The result was a large addition with new appointments and a reworked master suite, that while updating the level of finish and flow maintained the integrity of the original concept and its view of Lake Huron.
