Washinee Lake House

Northwest Connecticut

Description

Situated carefully along the edge of a lake, this spacious home and accompanying pool house merge bold architecture with sustainable innovation. Outside, a forested buffer along the lake was maintained to protect wildlife and water quality, and a bio-basin naturally filters stormwater before it reaches the lake, highlighting a commitment to environmental care. Inside, a robust timber frame structure is complemented by Bensonwood’s full millwork package, including interior doors, a custom entry door, fir ceiling boards and a beautiful multi-level stair. The home was designed for entertaining as well as everyday living, with rooms for every occasion. The pool and pool house seamlessly extend the living space outdoors, perfect for lakeside gatherings.
