Description

Some homes ask you to imagine what they could become. This one is designed so you can focus on how you want to live in it. From the moment you walk in, the lake quietly becomes part of the home. It appears from the living room, from the bedroom, and reflects back through the kitchen. The north-facing exposure brings soft ambient light throughout the day without the direct heat that often comes with lakefront views. Just beyond the glass, a private balcony opens to clear views toward Lake Michigan, a feature increasingly difficult to find in the city, especially in a home where the interior is thoughtfully rebuilt. The renovation is designed by Dennis Burgener of McWilliams Burgener Architecture with a restrained architectural approach that keeps the space calm and intentional. The entry subtly compresses before opening into the home where the light and view take over. In the kitchen, glossy aquamarine Zellige tiles catch the light in soft variations that echo the lake outside. A butcher block island on locking casters adds warmth and flexibility, easily repositioned depending on how the space is used. The bedroom sits directly at the window so the bed faces the lake each morning. The layout flows into a pass-through dressing area that leads to the bath, similar to the arrangement found in boutique hotel suites. The bathroom continues the calm palette with aquamarine tiled niches, a preserved soaking tub with built-in deck, overhead and handheld shower fixtures, and a quiet, soft-closing pocket door. The result is a space that feels composed yet open to interpretation, ready for someone with taste to bring it fully to life with their own furniture, art, and personality...........
