Living the lake life

Mike and Kim Petrucci, the owners of Petrucci Homes, always dreamed of living on Wing Lake. They built their 4,800-square-foot house in 2017.

What was supposed to be a covered porch was changed to become a lake room so the Petrucci family could use it year-round. "It has the best views," said Kim Petrucci. "Even in the winter, I feel like it's equally as beautiful with snow on the lake."

French doors along one wall in the lake room open to the front porch.

V Groove planking runs along the kitchen ceiling, giving it a textured feel. Above the eat-in area is a coffered ceiling. “It gives that eating space its own feel,” Kim said. The light fixtures are from Visual Comforts.

The cabinets are from an Amish cabinetmaker that Petrucci Homes represents.

The dining room is a dedicated space with a door to the kitchen. Interior designer Richard Daniels said the swan art -- framed by a picket fence that he got from his sister -- was inspired by the many swans on Wing Lake.

A type of modular stone -- the same stone covers a portion of the front exterior -- covers the fireplace facade in the great room. Daniels, the interior designer, aged the sails of the sailboats on the wall with coffee to make them look vintage.

A porcelain tile in the guest mudroom was inspired by a tile Kim saw at a hotel in Tampa. The oars contribute to the home's coastal vibe.

In the dining room, interior designer Richard Daniels embellished a piece of swan art with picket fence frame that he created. The fence was his sister's.

The master bathroom exudes a sense of light and airiness.

Only the TV room has a dark color palette to give it a sense of coziness. The walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Kendall Charcoal.

The dark cedar siding contrasts beautifully with the white trim around the windows. Near the driveway is an oak tree considered one of the oldest in Oakland County, said Kim.
