This compact and efficient Lake House is a wonderful retreat for a large, active family from the busy tasks of city life. Located on the bluffs surrounding Lake Whitney, less than an hour from Dallas, the family can enjoy this unique home year round. Two large porches flank the north and south sides of the building allowing for many views of the lake and a warm gathering spot adjacent to the large stone exterior fireplace. The home is small in size, yet has an open feel with a large two story Living Room and tall windows facing to the north. A contemporary, galley Kitchen serves up the food for family, friends and a few four legged pals; open storage shelves with painted bead board highlight the walls of the Kitchen. Honed granite tile set off with a few stainless steel appliances, sets the tone for a warm, clean look.
