The Lakeshore

Built on the shores of Lake Ontario, NY, this custom Greek Revival style home is a real stunner! The exterior is true to the architectural style, painted white to mimic marble, with a grand front entrance located on the gable end complete with a pediment and Greek key patterned frieze located over the door. Wide trim flanks the doors and windows with full height "pilasters" used on the corners of the structure to represent columns. Upon entering it's obvious that the buttoned-up classical stylings of the exterior end at the front door. Warm wood tones are found throughout the house, made most evident by the use of rustic reclaimed timbers and wide plank flooring. A four story granite chimney rises from the cozy "tavern" on the walk-out basement level up through the greatroom. Complemented by a full wall of windows, this space is truely the heart of the home. Several traditional Colonial features such as an open-hearth brick oven, wrought iron chandeliers and painted wood furniture round out the early American style of this beautiful waterfront home.
