Island Vacation Home Bungalow In A Box

Home

Plans:28' x 36' Island Vacation Home We designed and built this 2,000s.f. timber frame home for clients looking for a spacious home that could take advantage of expansive lake views from their elevated island site. The first floor has room for three bedrooms and the spacious second floor has an open kitchen/living area and master bedroom. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed creating this very special BungalowInABox. We added a second floor 10' x 20' timber frame porch to provide outdoor living space that capitalizes on the long views down the lake.
