Edgewater Renewal

One of the primary challenges of this Lake Sunapee renovation was timing. However, pandemic-related cost increases and delays required thoughtful adjustments throughout the process. Working closely with the clients, the team modernized finishes, opened the first-floor plan, captured unfinished basement space, and enhanced curb appeal.

At the same time, the detached garage blocked views of the home from the street. To improve the approach, the team removed and repositioned the structure with only a slight increase in footprint. As a result, the property now offers a more welcoming arrival experience. In addition, a covered entry porch, gardens, and granite steps define the entrance. Stone retaining walls frame the landscape, while views extend through the front door to the lake beyond.

Inside, the team reimagined the layout to maximize natural light and strengthen the connection to the water. As part of this effort, the design expands the dining room. In addition, the former screened porch now serves as a four-season breakfast nook and game area. Larger lake-facing windows capture sweeping western views. Additionally, the lower level adds a game room and lakefront mudroom. Above the garage, a guest suite and private office complete the home.
