Beach Cliff Residence

 

This unassuming ranch was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the homeowners to craft their dream house on Lake Erie. Purchased by empty nesters with grown children and adoring grandchildren, they looked forward to each room being full of laughter and lively energy.

Highlights of the renovated home include:

  • First floor primary suite with vaulted bead board finished ceiling, and spacious bathroom with heated floor, his and hers vanities and walk-in shower.
  • Two private guest suites.
  • The entire first floor connected by a gallery with vaulted ceilings.
  • An open kitchen with custom cabinetry and ample quartz countertops for hosting.
  • Grand family room with vaulted ceiling, exposed trusses and fireplace with fieldstone feature wall.
  • Sunroom off of gallery hall with heated tile flooring.
  • Work out room.

Exterior features include:

  • 4-car garage and circular concrete driveway.
  • Sandstone feature wall at primary elevation and stone wainscot at select perimeter elevations.
  • Sandstone patio that opens to an impeccably manicured, terraced backyard with unobstructed views of the lake.
  • A lighted staircase built into the hillside for direct access to the lake and cottage.
  • Perched on top of a grassy opening with a firepit as its centerpiece, the cottage is a structure that is a fully electrified, conditioned space that includes finish details like a standing seam metal roof, half round gutters, and radiant heated tile floor, beverage refrigerator, and wi-fi inside.
