n n n THIS MODERN FARMHOUSE is an extraordinary find on Pewaukee Lake, seamlessly blending modern amenities with important history, paying homage to why people have been drawn to Lake Country for more than a century. If you had to describe the residence, here is what comes to mind: Luxurious yet comfortable, with a strong dose of “WOW” mixed in. Best yet, there is an interesting story around every corner. For instance, this was one of the first properties ever developed on Pewaukee Lake. When new owners decided to rebuild, a few years ago, they went to great lengths to reclaim reminders from the original cottage that stood on the property for more than 100 years. Fantastic doors and pine and cedar wood accents are found throughout the new residence. In addition, the owners searched high and low to find just the right antique dressers to be refurbished and repurposed as bathroom vanities. The results are fantastic! But, let’s go back to the front door, and take a tour. When you enter the foyer, you are met with an expansive space, soaring ceiling, wall of windows, and priceless views of Pewaukee Lake. A formal dining area is central to the open concept, with floor to ceiling windows and three incredible chandeliers hanging from a two-story ceiling. Patio doors lead to an elevated deck that runs the length of the home with expandable, twelve-foot awnings that can be drawn out for shade.

The incredible lake view includes downtown Pewaukee to the east, and quiet lake space to the west. The formal dining area is flanked by a chef’s kitchen and a family room, both great places to entertain. Guests can hang out at a huge marble breakfast bar (seating for 8), while the host enjoys cooking on a Viking stovetop or prepping food on a glorious island, fashioned from support beams from the original cottage. Not a beat is missed in this kitchen. There is an extra-large refrigerator, coffee station and butler’s pantry. Traditional globe pendants and a reclaimed pine and cedar accent panel, harken to days gone by on Pewaukee Lake. Adjacent to the kitchen, relax in a delightful sunroom with a cup of tea, and enjoy the bright lake vista.

You’ll find a cozy family room on the opposite side of the main floor, with a gas fireplace, handcrafted, built-in cabinets and more fabulous lake views. Off of the family room, garage doors original to the former cottage lead to a room that is perfect for an office, study or music room. Even the mud room and laundry room are thoughtfully designed. When you enter from the garage, extra cabinet and “cubby” space will help keep your family’s outer-wear organized. Refinished support beams original to the first cottage are put to use as laundry room counter tops, which match the kitchen island. One of the most impressive uses of reclaimed cottage wood is experienced just off of the entryway. Walls of the front stairway are wrapped in pine, bringing depth and warmth to the foyer’s focal point. Upstairs, a walkway bridges the second floor offering cohesion, connection and privacy. One side of the bridge provides a bird’s eye view of the home’s entrance. The other side overlooks the main floor’s open living space. Four bedrooms and two full baths on one end of the bridge provide plenty of room for children and guests to sleep. The master bedroom suite, on the other side of the bridge, is a private oasis. Wake up to restful lake views in the master bedroom and find respite in the master spa bath with its oversized marble shower. The finished lower level is quaint and charming, with a true modern farmhouse feel. Plumbing is in place for a kitchen and bar. Have a snack in the dining area, watch a movie in the media center or workout in the gym. A sixth bedroom with an en suite bathroom completes the exposed lower level. Doors original to the old cottage provide beautiful accents throughout the exposed lower level. Finally, and perhaps most important, enjoy the lifestyle while making family memories on Pewaukee Lake. Lower level patio doors lead to a bucolic backyard and more than 100 feet of private lake frontage. The property comes with two piers, both for docking, and one with a sundeck and swimming post. Watch action on the water from a firepit on land or a lounging platform already permitted for building a boathouse. And while we are on the subject of boats, take a quick boat ride to downtown Pewaukee for the public beach, great dining, and boutiques. This is a great opportunity to live in relaxed luxury on Pewaukee Lake with purpose, meaning and joy. You’ll find the best of today’s modern amenities in this remarkable home. At the same time historical accents are authentic reminders of Lake Country’s “Glory Days”. It is a perfect combination and solid foundation for building your own family’s Lake Country dreams.
