Maple Grove Makeover: Ranch to Craftsman

This Maple Grove lakefront home began as a traditional ranch with a flat, understated entry that didn’t match the beauty of its setting. We completely rethought the architecture, introducing a cedar-framed gable porch with exposed structural beams that instantly anchors the façade. Stone-wrapped columns, refined trim work, and layered, welcoming lighting add depth, warmth, and visual balance. By blending natural materials with crisp detailing, we transformed a simple exterior into a true craftsman-style statement — one that feels intentional, elevated, and worthy of its lakefront backdrop.
