Lake Views, Modern Lines
You arrive and the lake steals the first look—then the architecture keeps it. Tiered stone terraces step down the slope, pulling you toward the water like a runway to Cedar Creek. Under the cedar-lined canopy, a covered lounge with a modern fireplace becomes your year-round living room: evening breezes, shaded afternoons, and that soft glow after sunset. Custom furnishings sit low and clean; layered lighting warms the stone and wood so everything feels calm and camera-ready. Native, drought-tolerant plantings wrap the edges—easy care, big impact, and just enough privacy.
Flowing from the lounge, a sleek geometric pool takes center stage. Water features add a steady hush while the rectangle mirrors the home’s crisp lines. At night, subtle LEDs make the surface sparkle; by day, the pool reflects sky and pines, tying house to lake in one quiet gesture. Automated systems keep the work invisible. The whole place reads like a modern resort—only it’s home.
