NORTHERN ACCENT

Custom building is always one part creative execution and one part technical challenge.

This eastern seaboard-style home was no different. Burkholder and the architect worked to design and build a magnificent northern Michigan home as envisioned by the customer that still conformed to an irregularly shaped piece of property. The result? A grand scale 4,300 square foot, fieldstone-accented residence that has a sense of belonging amidst the trees and water of the region.

The home features:

• A completely round turret designed for an upstairs office and downstairs sunroom
• Custom trim and cabinets in the turret
• Extensive use of indigenous fieldstone
• Custom-built cherry kitchen, including cabinets and floors
• Cedar shake roof and siding
• A family-sized fieldstone fireplace
• An all-cedar den and game room
• Covered porches
• Second level view deck
