Empty nesters with a love for lake living, the owners of this apartment wanted a home that felt both right-sized and welcoming. By opening up the layout—removing walls and a dated fireplace—the design now celebrates the sweeping east-facing lake views and fills the rooms with natural light. The new open floor plan allows the kitchen to flow easily into the living space, creating the perfect backdrop for everyday living and casual entertaining.

Plain & Fancy cabinetry in the Legacy door style with a soft Fawn enamel finish brings a gentle brightness and warmth, while Ivory Coast granite lines the perimeter for timeless durability. At the heart of the home, the island shines with Ocean Suede quartzite, its subtle, celestial pattern recalling evenings spent stargazing over the water. The Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance suite ensures both beauty and function, and the gracefully curved Elica Grace hood adds a touch of charm above the island—an elegant detail that makes the space feel truly personal.
