The Legacy
A modern lake home shaped by the memory of the family’s original 1970s cottage—preserving its character while creating comfort, performance and space for generations to come.
THE STORY
Built for the next generation, rooted in the first.
The Legacy was designed in honour of the owner’s father, who built the original cottage on this lakefront property in the 1970s. Its footprint and familiar character became the starting point for a new all-season home, now expanded with a walkout level, generous gathering spaces and a detached two-car garage that helps resolve the site’s changing grade.
Tradition, carefully re-engineered
Vaulted ceilings, exposed fir rafters and south-facing windows define the main-level great room, where a full natural-stone wall and wood-burning stove anchor views to the lake. The kitchen adds three walls of cabinetry, textured-fir details, quartz surfaces and a movable island, while the loft and floating steel staircase bring a lighter, more contemporary counterpoint.
High-performance walls, a SIP roof, in-floor heating and a backup forced-air system support year-round comfort. Outside, river-rock retaining walls, terraced steps, decking and the walkout level connect the home to the lake—allowing the property’s family history to continue in a home designed for its next fifty years.
