IT TAKES A GREAT AMOUNT of care and artistry to add details wherever possible while not overwhelming a space. It takes a further artistry to add these details while maintaining simplicity. That artistry is on full display in this gorgeous home on approximately 600 feet of Oconomowoc Lake’s south shore. Designed by Patera Architects and built by Barenz Builders with woodwork by Burmeister, the construction plans for this home are loaded with details, leaving no doubts as to how this home was to be built. The finished product is testimony to the attention and care paid. Entering the home through the custom double front doors with a tasteful circular leaded glass detail, you are greeted by outstanding views of the lake as well as
the first taste of the subtle details found throughout the home. The Murano glass chandelier hangs from a high, barreled ceiling which accented tastefully by a lovely raised panel detail. Two double sets of cherry columns define the entryway from the great room and each set guides you to other sections of the first floor. The flooring is large-tiled travertine, which you will find throughout much of the first floor. The home’s elevator with access to the lower level, clad in walnut, is located just off the foyer. The great room forms the heart of this home. The cathedral ceiling soars, suspended by two timber-frame beams and graced with a Fine Arts Chandelier. Obligatory to a lake home, the north facing wall is replete with transomed windows
