Beautiful, it reminds me why I love Craftsman style so much. The integrity of the craftsmanship is superb!

This is beautifully restored to the period; but i personally do not think i could live with all that dark wood. It is a heavy house and not bright and sunny that you find at most Lake homes; but it is true to the period and the owner is to be applauded for restoring and saving it.. Far better that then tearing it down.. I am a retired Architect Designer and Frank Lloyd Wright my mentor. He loved the use of that wood in most of his houses. This included all the furnishings he did for several of his most famous ones. He truly was a genius. If Frank were alive today with what is available in new roofing products he would not have become known for his leaking roofs.. He left a remarkable legacy for us......like many other Artistic Geniuses. Interestingly much of what he taught is now standard fare at most Universities and Colleges that teach Architecture. He was way ahead of his time...
