Project: 1,000 SF addition to Colonial-style cottage

Location: Keuka Lake, NY

Year Completed: 1998

Quality: Medium

Above: The original home before the addition

Above: A two-story addition was added to the building's northside and offers spectacular views of the lake

The home was originally built as a weekend cottage in the early 1900's. The present owners decided to live there year-round and added a family room on the first floor with a new master bedroom suite above.

Decks and patios were used extensively to maximize on the views.
