This whole-home lakefront renovation on Lake Sherwood in Commerce Township, Michigan, transformed a dated 1974 Colonial into a timeless custom home for modern lake living. Designed for a family who loves gathering, nearly every square foot of the home was reimagined—from the floor plan to the architecture—creating a home that is almost unrecognizable from the original.
The exterior was completely reimagined, leaving little resemblance to the original home. James Hardie Plank and Shake siding, a welcoming covered front porch, new windows, a seamless two-car garage addition, and redesigned rooflines dramatically transformed the home’s architecture, replacing its formal 1970s Colonial style with a timeless lakefront design that feels warm, inviting, and perfectly at home on Lake Sherwood.
Inside, the floor plan was opened to create a dramatic two-story foyer, a spacious great room, a custom kitchen, and a luxurious primary suite. Every living space was redesigned to improve flow, maximize natural light, and create a home that feels open, comfortable, and connected.
On the lakeside, a custom sunroom, expansive patio, and inviting outdoor living spaces take full advantage of the waterfront views, creating the perfect setting for relaxing and spending time with family and friends.
This lakefront home renovation in Commerce Township, Michigan, showcases how creative design, quality craftsmanship, and lasting materials can completely transform an existing home while preserving its connection to the lake and creating a place the homeowners will enjoy for generations.
