EDITOR’S NOTE

IDEAS, IDEAS, IDEAS

T

his year, for the second year

in a row, we are keeping our home tour virtual so that we can keep everyone safe—and because our tourgoers loved the idea of exploring these homes from the comfort of their own homes. The 2021 Northern Home & Cottage Virtual Home Tour launches Oct. 29, 2021. Purchase tickets at MyNorthTickets.com. You’ll be glad to know that all proceeds from ticket sales benefit Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan.

One of the things I love the most about our annual home tours are the ideas, both dreamy and practical, that we can all gather. On the dreamy side, let’s begin with water views from the windows of each of these homes. Sigh. Yes. OK, here are more dreamy ideas: a want-want, two-sided gas fireplace between the master bedroom and the great room; inset LED lighting in the ceiling beams and moulding; built-in bunk beds for the grandkids (a set on each side with steps between them); a fireplace facade made of Mesabi Black granite; a full butler’s kitchen adjacent to the main kitchen.

And how about a kitchen range that looks out over the treetops to Lake Michigan—I’d be cooking all day!

On the practical side: How great would it be to have an on-demand hot water heater (never run out of hot water when you have a full house); a drawer microwave (saves reaching up at odd angles); a work-station sink; a Wolf Range and an induction pad set into the countertop for heating up water in a nano-second; a pot-filler and a pop-up stainless backsplash behind your range to catch flying grease. Finally, I’d love to have the eye, as one of our homeowners has, for finding really great art at antique and secondhand stores!

Please take time out from your busy schedules to put your feet up and take our virtual tour. I guarantee you will be delighted that you did.

WINE CELLARS DU NORD

As our region’s vineyards flourish, Northern Michigan’s wine cellars are keeping up in style and function. Savor this sampler-flight of some of the best!

BUILDER AND DESIGNER Scott Norris of Scott Norris Construction turned his clients’ vision into reality with this head-turner crafted to hold both spirits and wine. A barrel-shaped ceiling, Chicago brick walls, backlighting on the spirits, wine cradles fashioned from iron rods and rustic handcrafted shelves all combine to make this more than just a wine cellar. Shall we spend the weekend?

WINE CELLARS DU NORD

BEDROOM FLIP Location: Old Mission Peninsula Builder: MAC Custom Homes Designer: Dorina Rudd

ISSUE: What to do with a son’s bedroom when he leaves home?

ANSWER: Why, of course, make it a wine cellar!

photo by Windborne Studio

That’s exactly what these homeowners did. Note the glass wall/ door separation from the wine storage area, the wine barrel tables and custom wainscoting that the homeowner made from wine boxes. The floor is polished concrete and the ceiling is straw plaster for an old-world look. The inset graced with an antique lamp is another fabulous old-world touch.

The bonus to this great idea? It’s still their son’s favorite room in the house and where he loves to hang out (with his parents!) when he is home visiting.

WINE CELLARS DU NORD

SIP BETWEEN FLIGHTS? Location: Leland Builder: Biggs Construction

THIS PERFECTLY APPOINTED wine cellar is actually tucked just a half-flight down from the main floor and a half-flight up from the basement level. Ebony Gloss paint by Pittsburgh Paints and intentional lighting keep the spotlight on the wine. The wife found the painting of an Italian village (very fitting in a wine cellar!) at the Ann Arbor Art Fair. The wooden slab embossed with the phrase, "With Good Wine—there should be Music!" is courtesy of the husband who is known for his playlists. The small table, made by Edgework Creative in Columbus, Ohio, is for opening and tasting bottles of wine. The racks have an industrial vibe to complement the home’s similar feel. “The racks are separated into the reachable (help yourself) and the not reachable (Do not make a big mistake!),” says the wife. She also adds that the wine cellar is “intentionally simple,” as the home’s great room and deck with their Lake Michigan views are the preferred places for wine sipping.

very now and then a building site and a builder/designer come together to create something extraordinary. Such is the case with the Why House, built by Scott Norris Construction and designed in collaboration with Scott’s son, Caleb, of Norris Design Productions. The home is situated on wooded ridges with Lake Michigan splashing across the horizon—a view that spans the Manitou and Fox Islands. Scott has made a name for himself for his ability to build and design homes that are at-one with their sites, as well as his passion for wood and woodworking.

After viewing several of Scott’s projects, the home-owners knew that he would be a perfect fit for their home. While the husband had some clear ideas about layout, the wife expressed mainly that the home reflect the property, including taking advantage of the stunning water and forest views. Then, almost as an afterthought, she told Scott that she had always loved architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Fallingwater home for its cantilevers over a waterfall. From that point, says Scott, the homeowners gave him a free hand to design the home.

Fallingwater’s design inspired Scott to put two cantilevers into his design—one houses the master bedroom and the other a sunroom. Both spill out over the site’s wooded ridges, placing them at tree-top level, thus exposing the lake views on the horizon and making the home feel as though it is a treehouse. The cantilevers jut out from the great room in a Y-shape, so that the home’s layout resembles the letter—and was nicknamed the Why House by the crew who worked on it. Generous windows make the most of the view; a double-bank of clerestory windows ensures that the home is light-filled from morning until dusk.

Massive Douglas fir ceiling trusses fabricated from repurposed timbers and a hickory floor lend the home an organic modern look that is carried into the kitchen where a waxed, maple-slab island countertop, fabricated from a tree taken down by a storm, sets the tone. Honeycolored maple built-ins, constructed by Scott’s team in their cabinet shop, harmonize with the setting outside the counter-to-ceiling windows. The range butts up to a window (allowing the cook to enjoy the treetop view!).

The exterior is clad in CertainTeed in three different widths and stained in three different shades of redwood to make it feel like real wood. Opposing shed roofs in two different heights, black-framed windows and doors and a facade embellished with a stacked stone wall and handsome trussed portico all work together to make this home a true standout.

E

The Why House The skills of builder and designer Scott Norris shine in this unique home tucked among ridges in Leelanau County.

his sweet, wooded site on the Crystal River, just outside downtown Glen Arbor, called out for a modern farmhouse. Owners David and Mary Bird and builder Colin Bushong of CMB Construction delivered.

From the get-go, this home’s design and building process was a collaborative effort between Colin and the Birds.

On the exterior, the crisp white home with its covered porch, classic black-clad sash windows and equally classic dormer inset with black-clad paned windows emits a subtle aura of stepping back in time. Indeed, it echoes Glen Arbor’s beloved late 19th-century mill, located just up the river from this home.

The interior has a similarly timeless feel—albeit outfitted with state-of-the art amenities. The great room’s high ceiling that rises 20 feet at its peak, white walls—including a generous use of shiplap—and a warm hickory floor are the backdrop for the view of the woods and the serene river out the windows. Come evening, however, the focus shifts to a fabulous two-sided gas fireplace (clad in black soapstone) that shares its other side with the master bedroom.

As open as the floor plan is, there is enough definition to the space to make it feel intimate. A four-season sunroom off the great room is a quiet spot for reading or just contemplating the river. Mary and Dave each have offices off the foyer. Mary’s office doubles as the laundry room, but thanks both to a window with a view of the woods and to Colin’s clever woodwork designs that cover the mechanicals, it is a lovely room to work in.

The open kitchen is defined by a generous 6-by-6-foot island topped in marble-like macaubas quartzite. The perimeter counters are honed ocean-black granite and the backsplash is tumbled marble subway tiles. A series of three small black-metal pendants over the sink and two similar larger pendants over the island add an industrial feel that is repeated in the magnificent black steel stair railing, fabricated by Wheelock & Sons Welding in Traverse City.

Due to a stroke suffered by a family member, Mary is sensitive to the need for Universal Design (once known as Aging in Place) features in her home, including a drawer microwave that is set into the kitchen island—a design that is safer and easier than reaching up for hot items. Other Universal Design elements in the home include lever faucet handles, lever doorknobs and a low-sided bathtub in the guest bath (which is also American Disabilities Act compliant).

Bushong’s attention to detail and craftsmanship are everywhere in this home, from the many built-ins in the great room to the bathroom vanities, the cladding on the Jacuzzi tub and the handsome mantel in the master bedroom. All are made from sandblasted cedar for a sophisticated look at an economical price.

The exceptional working relationship between Bushong and the Birds shows in this well-thought-out home. It was so exceptional, in fact, that by the end of the project, Colin hired Mary to help with interior design on his future building projects.

n the beginning, Ralph and Sally Beebe had every intention of remodeling their 1970s-era cottage on Green Lake. With its small windows and chopped up living area, the home hardly made the most of the site’s lovely lake views. Worse yet, the master bedroom was on the road side, so no inspirational wake-up lake view there!

The Beebes took their ideas to architect Sarah Bourgeois who determined that the home—right down to its foundation and footings—wasn’t worth saving. Rather than being upset, the Beebes were delighted that they had an opportunity to completely customize their home to their lifestyle, from the ground up. To gather ideas, Sally rolled up her sleeves and scoured both Pinterest and Houzz for inspiration, which she shared with Bourgeois. Since the lot is nonconforming, Bourgeois worked within the old cottage’s footprint, creating a plan for a cottage with an open living area that would sleep a number of houseguests. She also delivered on the vaulted and beamed ceiling that the couple asked for, as well as a master suite on the lake side of the home. Then she did one more important thing: Bourgeois introduced them to Bill Archer of Archer Contracting and his project manager, Jason Vanderford. “We were immediately comfortable with them,” Vanderford says.

From that point on, the Beebes describe the working process between Bourgeois, Archer, Vanderford and themselves as extremely collaborative. All put their ideas into the discussion—and the team from Archer Construction, including trim carpenter Shaun Donahue, contributed their carpentry expertise. “It turned out to be a showcase for our team’s woodworking talents,” Vanderford says.

On the exterior, a combination of natural stone, gable truss-work and shingles set the stage for a rustic Craftsman feel. The interior continues the feel with a stone-faced fireplace and kitchen island and an extensive use of knotty alder on the ceiling, trim, beams and custom window valances. Vanderford is particularly proud of the way his carpenters mitered the edges of the vaulted ceiling. “It [the knotty alder boards] came together perfectly, so there was no need for trim,” he says.

The fine woodwork is the backdrop for the Green Lake views that span the home’s lakeside. That vista is accentuated by the way the home is situated, so that it appears to be perched right over the water. And that view is repeated in their new master suite—one of the couple’s favorite rooms in the home. “The way the home is set, you don’t see our lawn,” Sally says. “All you see is water.

It looks like you are basically on the lake.”

The Beebes can’t say enough about their home and its building process. On a happily-ever-after note, they have become personal friends of Archer and of Vanderford, who has brought his children over to play. “It was all just awesome,” Ralph says. “And it turned into our dream place.”

ven the driveway to this home is spectacular. Up, up it winds and winds until it reaches the top of a bluff with a wide-open view of East Grand Traverse Bay. Stunning.

Homeowners Andrew and Ashley Purcell kept their eye on the property for several years while visiting friends Up North from their home in Grand Rapids. About the time Andrew finished graduate school, the price dropped and the couple jumped at the chance to purchase it, with the dream of moving north and starting their family.

Several years later, after working hard to pay down the property, they were ready to build. They met their builder, Steve Eveleigh of Northwest Carpentry, at a home builders show where, after seeing the awards he’s chalked up over the years, they approached him for the job.

From the get-go, this striking home was a collaboration between the Purcells, Eveleigh and the designers he works with, Pam Sheridan of Waterleaf Design and Jim Walters of Creative Home Design. Eveleigh also works closely with his suppliers, to assure that the clients stay within their budget. “When the design is finished our clients pretty well know how much their home is going to cost. No surprises,” he says.

If there were surprises on this building project, they were happy ones.

Eveleigh succeeded in making the entire building process seamless. “He was easy-going and transparent,” Ashleigh says. “We felt like he genuinely cared about the house and he worked with us to make sure we were happy.”

The Purcells wanted the home’s exterior to have modern accents with transitional roots—and a bold, dark color palette. The end product is indeed striking. Board and batten siding, painted in black-toned Sherwin Williams Iron Ore, and black window frames contrast with the icy gray Eldorado dry-stacked stone, while gable trusses and cedar accents lend a Craftsman feel. A VistaLuxe Kolbe & Kolbe glass entry door and its twin door on the far side of the great room open up the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan on the horizon.

Inside the home, a soft-toned white oak floor mirrors a ceiling clad in the same wood with matching white oak beams. The fireplace mantel is clad in the same Eldorado stone as the exterior—except in a thinner version. The open kitchen is outfitted with dove gray custom cabinets and a generous island by Wolverine Cabinet Company. A sparkling white herringbone-patterned tile backsplash, a white custom hood, Cambria quartz countertops and Wolf/Subzero appliances round out this space that is both functional and beautiful. The team at Northwest Carpentry designed and built a fabulous adjoining pantry—a skill they also lent to the master bedroom closet.

A light-filled sunroom, an equally light-filled master suite and a perfectly appointed mudroom (floor-to-ceiling cabinetry by Wolverine Cabinet Co.!) round out the main floor. A lovely staircase with a custom black-steel railing and white oak treads leads to the upper floor and two children’s bedrooms.

The rooms, which feel as sweet and cozy as an old farmhouse, top off this enchanted place, where the couple will raise their first child, due in January.

ovely Birchwood Drive runs along East Grand Traverse Bay on Old Mission Peninsula. Most of the properties have homes on the shore side as well as across the street. So, when Mike and Kelly Howes came across a home for sale located across from the water that included shoreline, it was a done deal.

The setting was perfect. But the home’s interior needed serious updating.

The home, built in the 1920s, was originally a farmhouse. Over the decades, the farm disappeared and the home was remodeled until it became a chopped-up warren of rooms whose views of the bay were largely blocked by, among other issues, some seriously strange angled walls. The Howes hired Michele Cerny of Lakeview Interior Design and contractor John Erickson to head up a top-to-bottom reno.

One key decision from the outset was to work with Debbie Everson, salesperson of Floor Covering Brokers, to suggest lake-house appropriate flooring. In the main living area, the team chose COREtec luxury vinyl planking in an oak-toned color. “We selected this product for its color, durability, ease of cleaning and its relaxed beach look,” Everson says. The family room is carpeted in Beach Haven Tuftex nylon that is easily cleaned and has great retention.

Everson also suggested a wool (stands up to foot traffic!) runner for the steps in water-andsand-colored stripes.

The perfect flooring proved a firm base on which to build out the rest of the renovation design. The kitchen was just short of a miraculous transformation. Among the changes were a new 10-foot-long island with a silvery blue base and quartz top, white cabinetry and glossy white subway tiles from Floor Covering Brokers. As is the case with the cabinetry and island, Peter Jenks of Inception Woodworks made a fabulous oak-topped banquette that seats 14 for the casual eating nook. A window cut out of the wall separating the nook from the dining room allows light to pour in and provides a view of East Bay. In the dining area, a closet was removed, among other things, to make room for a 72-inch round dining table surrounded by white shiplap and centered under a gorgeous chandelier.

In an equally clever move, Cerny and the homeowner turned a former office space tucked oddly in the center of the main floor into a beach dropoff area. A wall or two had to be taken down and the bottom landing of the stairway was adjusted, but when it was finished, the space, shiplapped from top to bottom and outfitted with hooks, cabinets and a bench, makes the perfect place to stash beach towels and toys.

For an upstairs room, Cerny designed a custom loft bunk (built by Inception Woodworks) with steps that double as storage. New furnishings, lighting and wallpaper throughout the home are courtesy of the 200-plus home-furnishing companies that Cerny works with.

This old home saw many changes, but the Howes decided to keep the original fireplaces—stone in the living room and fieldstone in the family room.

In addition, Cerny peeled back carpet in an original upstairs room that is tucked under the eaves, farmhouse style, and discovered the original fir floor.

She had it painted pale blue but otherwise left it as a tribute to the home’s heritage. Some things are just too good to lose.

he darling town of Elk Rapids is surrounded by water and fruit farms, while its neighborhoods are dotted with gracious historic homes. This home set on the west arm of Elk Lake, just outside of downtown, captures the essence of those features perfectly.

The builder, Jamie Wilkins of Trillium Shore Custom Homes, likes to say that he sweats the details so that homeowners don’t have to, and indeed, he perfectly orchestrated this detail-oriented home.

Designed by Shoreline Architecture’s Steve Werner in close collaboration with the homeowner, the black, white and gray exterior borrows elements from the Queen Anne era. A covered, wrap-around porch, peaked gables clad in board-and-batten and classic four-paned windows (on the road side) echo the local farmhouse vernacular.

The interior, however, is all about lake living. A muted palette of warm gray walls, white oak floor, creamy-white trim-work and paneling with accents of deep marine blue sets a serene backdrop for the equally serene panorama of the picturesque lake visible from the generous windows and a set of French doors.

The open kitchen is as functional as it is lovely. A kicked-up pantry is outfitted with two counters big enough to use for prep and open shelving for storing serving dishes. A coffee bar tucked into the cabinetry in the main kitchen and a bar just off the kitchen, signal that this room is made for enjoying. Lux touches include the paneled refrigerator and freezer, brass hardware and faucets and the leathered blue-gray Azul Aran granite island top. But the real show-stopper here is the custom range hood, fabricated in steel and trimmed in brass fabricated locally by Darin Fetter of North Shore Iron Works.

The adjacent living area is defined by a coffered ceiling and three square columns that mark the area’s separation from the foyer on one side and the kitchen/dining area on the other. A fireplace set into a wall of shiplap, custom shelving made by the Trillium Shore team and a collection of tasteful paintings round out this relaxing space.

In the master suite, one set of French doors opens to the covered porch, while another set opens to a light-filled music room. The bathroom, with its Jack-and-Jill sinks, soaking tub and custom shower, opens into a to-die-for walk-in closet.

The white oak stair banisters, made by Jamie Wilkins, curve slightly outward at the ends as if welcoming people upstairs. The staircase wall is paneled with painted white rectangle panels—a touch that adds dimension and interest to the stairwell. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, one of which is en suite and another two connected by Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, with views of either the lake or trees. Finally, as if to add an exclamation point to this artful home, one of the bedrooms is paneled in an intriguing and eclectic geometric pattern—expertly executed by the skilled Trillium Shore craftsmen.

hese homeowners were spending happy summers in the cottage they’d built on Lake Charlevoix in 1997, but even so, they couldn’t help noticing a couple of vacant lakeside lots they passed when out boating. The lots presented more view opportunities than their cottage offered from its location set back in the trees with only a tunnel view of the lake. When they noticed a “For Sale” sign on one of the lots a few years ago, “Boom! We grabbed it,” says the homeowner.

This would be the fifth home that the couple had built together, so they pretty much knew what they wanted. They envisioned a casual farmhouse that felt compatible with the local vernacular. Considering that the famous writer Ernest Hemingway summered on Lake Charlevoix as a teenager, in a bunkhouse behind a white clapboard farmhouse up the street from the lake—white farmhouses fit well here.

Ardent supporters of keeping Lake Charlevoix clean, the couple also knew their home would include a greenbelt of natural vegetation along the water’s edge to filter any runoff pollutants.

They contacted designer Jill Rowley of Designworks after hearing from friends about the great experience they’d had working with her—and their new farmhouse entered the conception phase. The couple brought a wish list to her that included a wide-open view of the lake, a craft room, a brick wall that looked old to place their piano in front of, a three-season porch, space to hang their fabulous collection of local art, a spare room outfitted with beds for friends and family … and above all, says the homeowner, they wanted a relaxed home where it was okay for people to come in from the beach with bare feet.

Friends also told the couple about the incredible experience they’d had working with Eric Render of Render Construction. Render and his team delivered once again. “It was definitely a positive experience— the best we’ve had in all the homes we’ve built,” the homeowner says. Needless to say, everything (and more) that the couple had on their wish list was orchestrated by Rowley and Render in perfect harmony.

Nowadays, the husband rises early, makes coffee for his wife and himself, then heads out onto the three-season porch to watch a resident eagle glide over the lake and to witness the splashes of jumping fish. “It’s super quiet in the morning,” he says. “Just spectacular.”

his Lake Charlevoix stunner, marked by rich layers of woodworking detail, exemplifies the quality, skill and creativity of the building company Miller, Poineau and Naumes (mPn). Moreover, the home is one of the last designed by recently retired master designer/builder Andre Poineau, who has made a name for himself for his timeless residential designs.

With its white board-and-batten exterior, covered porch and gable windows, the home is purposely reminiscent of a Michigan farmhouse. Yet, square columns and truss-work give the home a definite modern Craftsman accent. Poineau’s eye for detail—and the execution of it by the skilled mPn team—is evident in double strips of batten in the siding and neoclassical caps on square columns. The emphasis on the exterior design includes 2,399 square feet of covered patios and balconies—all laid with Mesabi Black granite that is flush with the interior flooring. Needless to say, this home was made as much for outdoor living as indoor.

The exterior is a prelude for what follows on the interior. A soft-toned rift-and-quartered white oak floor sets the stage for the spectacular ceiling, where the exterior truss detail is carried inside and every column and beam is boxed in five or six layers of trim.

Intermittent rafters, set three feet apart, frame strips of nickel-gap poplar. The entire ceiling is painted in Benjamin Moore White Dove. When the LED uplift lighting set into the beams is on, it’s not overstating to call the ceiling heavenly.

Beyond the ceiling, the stamp of fine woodwork from the mPn team is everywhere in this home, including a handcrafted and trowel-plastered range hood, a cypress built-in-bar and maple cabinetry throughout. Other elements, including a Mesabi Black granite-clad wood-burning fireplace in the great room, a gas fireplace in the master suite, a steam shower and a butler’s kitchen off the main kitchen area for entertaining, round out this lakeside dream home.
