letter from the president
Welcome to the 2025 Builders Parade, brought to you by BANI - The Builders Association of Northeast Indiana! We welcome you to tour our event, showcasing 4 outstanding homes. These homes represent some of the finest builders in our area showing you a glimpse of what is new and exciting!
Each entry offers unique architectural ideas, one of a kind interior design, modern innovations, and custom details to entice you to take the plunge and build your dream home or remodel your existing home. Be sure to recognize all the fine craftsmanship, architecture and artistry that our Builder and our Associate Members put into each home to bring them alive.
A special thank you goes out to our Sponsors that every year help make this event possible:

We appreciate their service and dedication in building quality into every home and Bob would like to thank all of them for their loyalty and continued commitment to building dreams for all of our homeowners who have trusted us to build as well. The entire staff is dedicated to making sure the building process is stressfree for you and your family, and that your home is delivered on time.

The Haven on Pearl
539 Pearl Beach Drive
Coldwater Lake Coldwater, MI 49036
Welcome to “The Haven on Pearl” – a lakeside sanctuary of curated craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.
This 2,755 square-foot retreat is Bob Buescher Homes’ 2025 BANI Parade of Homes entry – a stunning collaboration between builder and homeowner that brings well-considered design and personal vision to life. Step through the front door into a space where every detail speaks to both form and function. Following a thoughtfully located laundry room on your right, the striking powder bath greets you – a custom 12” quartz apron vanity and backsplash, floating shelf, and fluted tile accent wall that captures the homeowner’s contemporary style. To your left, the main-level primary suite awaits, with an attached bath that features a sleek glass and tile shower with a striking full-length niche. Down the hall, the staircase will draw your attention as you enter the heart of the home: a light-filled great room and stunning kitchen adorned with suede quartz countertops, a timeless combination of painted and stained cabinetry, and a bold oversized vent hood – all perfectly framing the covered patio and lakefront view. Upstairs, a second primary suite with a generous walk-incloset, three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a bonus room with a view of the water await.

Welcome to the Hoosier Haven on beautiful Crooked Lake. As you walk into this amazing home, you will be greeted by breathtaking views of the water which become the backdrop for the details and craftsmanship of this home.
The main level boasts a large laundry area with coffee bar, a full guest bath, home office/guest room and a lovely master bedroom with en-suite. A wall of windows on the lake side of this level provides year-round views of the lake, while the screened patio from the Master bedroom with bed swing and TV has become an oasis for the homeowner in the summer months.
The lower level is the heart of the home. An open concept kitchen and living room with a cozy fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows offers a place for everyone to come together and enjoy each other. A few steps down the hall you will be introduced to their state-of-the-art theater room by a custom wall mural. Crimson, black and white set the tone for this incredible space.
The lake level with wet bar, guest bedrooms, gaming area and full guest bath is a visitor’s dream. Walk out to a gorgeous outdoor living space including kitchen, gas fire pit, hot tub and raised bar, all on the water’s edge.
