This client came to us with a vision: to transform a neglected carriage house in their backyard into the ultimate entertainment retreat. Now fully reimagined, the space includes a working kitchen, a charming dining nook with built-in banquette seating, and a spacious entertainment area—perfect for lake days, movie nights with friends, or simply a quiet getaway after a long day.

Double pocket doors allow the entertainment space to be seamlessly separated from the laundry area, or left open to highlight the beautiful finishes that carry throughout. This secondary space is as functional as it is stylish, featuring flush inset cabinetry that complements the kitchen, durable tile flooring ideal for wet feet coming in from the lake, and built-in lockers for added storage. The adjacent full bath continues the thoughtful design, with custom tile patterns, a walk-in glass shower, and a warm white oak vanity that adds a touch of natural elegance.

From top to bottom, this carriage house reflects a timeless, well-considered approach to lakehouse living—blending beauty, comfort, and function in a way that will stand the test of time.
