5 Inspiring Lake House Renovation Ideas for Your Michigan Lakefront Property | Bogard & Sons Construction

Imagine stepping out of your home onto a spacious deck or patio, perfectly designed to capture the stunning views of Grand Traverse Bay, Elk Lake or Torch Lake. Expanding your outdoor living area provides more space for family gatherings, relaxing afternoons, or sunset dinners. A well-crafted outdoor space, whether it’s a deck, patio, or second-story balcony, can enhance your property’s appeal and functionality. As a lake house renovation expert, we specialize in designing outdoor spaces that seamlessly blend with the natural beauty of your lakefront location. Our extensive experience working on lake front properties ensures that each project maximizes the unique potential of the area, from capturing the best views to incorporating practical, weather-resistant materials.

Completing these tasks will ensure your lake house is well-prepared for the coming winter months. 

No one wants to wait in line for the bathroom after a day of lake activities. Adding or upgrading bathrooms can make your home more comfortable and better equipped for guests. Picture a new master ensuite with modern fixtures, a spacious walk-in shower, or a freestanding soaking tub. For families hosting large gatherings, an extra guest bathroom can be invaluable and, if that’s not an option, converting a single vanity to a double can allow room for more people to get ready at the same time. Even a half bath can relieve the bathroom traffic; you’d be surprised where we can find square footage for a powder room. Our team of lake front home builder experts can tailor your bathroom renovations to fit your unique needs, ensuring convenience and luxury are at the forefront.

Creating Multipurpose Common Rooms 

When the weather keeps everyone indoors, having a multipurpose common room can make all the difference. From media rooms and game rooms to cozy lounges with custom built-ins, these spaces provide flexible areas for family activities and relaxation. Imagine a room that serves as a TV lounge, snack bar, and game corner all in one. With thoughtful design and high-quality craftsmanship, we help you reimagine your living space to suit your lifestyle and make the most of your lake house renovation.
