The architect on the project, Bryan Merman, immediately picked up on the concept that they were looking for: something fresh but appropriately scaled and comfortable. “For the exterior, we decided on a knife-edge gable structure that is reminiscent of rural barns,” Bryan explained. “Over the years, we expect the aged cedar strip wood cladding on the front gable to patina to a weathered old barn hue. The contrast of old materials on the top to the modern base of the home, made for a compelling story that aligned perfectly with the story and personality of the homeowners.”

“The most expensive home on the market in Huntersville is a new six bedroom custom estate home offering gorgeous lakefront views. This home, which was built in 2019 after a two-year design and build process, was constructed using steel structural framing that allows for dramatic and sweeping views, a 25-foot vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and a tower office with a 300-degree view. This home also comes with a 12,000-pound boat lift.”

The new homes will feature an architectural style similar to that of the original manor, built in 1974 and slated for renovation.
