Project • By OakBridge Timber Framing • Private Houses
The Steele Project
For many years, the homeowners of this stunning lakeside timber frame desired a custom home on their rare site which would blend both of their very different styles, while highlighting the unbelievable panoramic water views. On a clear day, one can see for miles and even count the many islands in the distance. In fact, the homeowner used to climb the antennae of his former home just to take in the seemingly endless views.
