Originally built in the late 1930s, this house has been creatively and carefully remodeled in 2005/06 by the artist/designer owners turning it into one of Sturgeon Bay's truly unique and charming homes.
The warmth of the original design blends seamlessly with new sensibilities.
WATERVIEW! Pleasing views of the bay provide the sense of lakeside living without the high taxes associated with waterfront properties.

(above) the side entry porch (usually used by guests) is a nicely finished three-season porch. Our English guests have enjoyed siting here sipping their wine and reading - it resembles an English "conservatory."
(left and below) the living room is a bit more of a traditional space, but still blends nicely with the contemporary elements of the home's remodel.
The airy, flowing floorplan is perfect for living and entertaining guests.
The kitchen is bathed with light from a large skylight. It has all new appliances including a double oven. The quality cabinets reminiscent in style of a 1930's farm kitchen giving a nod to the home's original era. There is a walk-in pantry with a planning desk and easy-access to the side entry. Duraceramic floors for durability and warmth. There is an eating counter and a dining space with room for a large tressel table.
(below) The downstairs holds a huge surprise: An Irish/English pub! With Irish music piped in and guests bringing a six-pack of an interesting craft brew, this has been an extremely popular gathering spot - especially during Door County winters.
The egress windows and another 3/4 bath make the "pub level" another perfect space to house guests or could be used as a home office / additional bedroom.
(below) Living in Door County, you can expect guests. The guest suite has it's own private 3/4 bath with a unique rounded wall. Or, could be used as a main-level master suite.
(above) Sunroom - the perfect spot to kick back. Has a wet bar for entertaining or a wonderful studio space for the artist or hobbyist.
WATERVIEW! Pleasing views of the bay from all SE windows and the front porch provide the sense of lakeside living without the high taxes associated with waterfront properties. You can watch the ships come in from almost every room in the house. Or, from the front porch while rocking with cupof coffee. This is truly a unique and wonderful spot!
(right and below) A second floor bedroom has been used as an office space. It has a huge walk-in attic space connected for great storage.
The walkway to the front door entrance has a small, pleasantly trickling pond and flower-lined walk to greet visitors.
(below) The second floor master bedroom has many built-ins and interesting angles. A full bath is immediately outside the master bedroom door. With the office on the second level, the entire upstairs turns into a private master suite.
