"This kitchen facilitates the lifestyle of casual entertaining that goes hand in hand with a lakefront location. People just naturally want to gather here, and that’s what we expect them to do." — Rob Myers, Colonnade Custom Homes |
Spec-built for the 2001 Street of Dreams — Atlanta, this lakeside luxury home features the nostalgic look of a New England cottage combined with state-of-the-art materials and technology. Developed for an empty-nester couple or a family with older children, the floor plan features a main-level master suite, large areas dedicated to entertaining, and a finished basement that includes a spacious game room. The most popular spot in the home, says builder Rob Myers, is the warm and welcoming country kitchen that reflects the home’s old-style architectural theme.
