The house is sited on the cardinal compass points. The long axis faces east-west. Pella windows and doors can be opened during the cooler months to allow free-flowing breezes to waft through the house from the lake. The sun permeates the elevated entry on the south year round. One arrives on the mid-level, which is most apparent when walking through the highly decorative double height sky-lit Foyer with twin curving stairways, through the formal Ball Room and onto the breathtaking 29 foot high north porch overlooking the green lawn, which drops gracefully towards the blue waters of Pocket Lake.
