Lakefront Legacy

Blending 1930s Charm with Modern Luxury

Perched on the shore of Lake George our “Lakefront Legacy” project revitalized a charming 1930s cottage, harmonizing its vintage character with contemporary living. The challenge involved transforming the original, fragmented layout into a cohesive, inviting space that enhanced comfort and functionality for modern family life. Central to this transformation was a thoughtfully designed addition that opened the kitchen to a stunning great room and dining area, under soaring vaulted ceilings supported by massive timbers, creating a welcoming environment for gatherings. A main floor room has been transformed into a beautifully designed music room, accommodating the homeowner’s cherished heirloom melodeon and player piano.

The original central fireplace anchors a refreshed formal dining room, featuring bespoke millwork and glass-front built-in cabinets that elevate the dining experience. Upstairs, the bedrooms were remodeled to include spacious closets and ensuite baths while introducing a cozy wood-paneled bunk room and home office on the third floor. A custom walk-in wine cooler beneath the restored switchback staircase integrates modern amenities with the historic framework. The exterior enhancements, including a welcoming front entry and significant landscaping, complete this remarkable project, making “Lakefront Legacy” a perfect blend of historic charm and luxurious living for the owners to cherish for years to come.
