Charming Lakehouse Belongs in a Fairytale

From: Christopher Architecture and Interiors

This stunning home is located on the lake and possesses a storybook look that makes it feel magical. Featuring towers, archways, and a cupola, the 7,500-square-foot plus structure is comprised of hardy cypress and hand-selected stone quarried from north Alabama. Despite the elaborate finishing process, the estate’s understated elegance honors the idyllic setting rather than overshadowing it.
