In addition, a series of transitional spaces create simplified lake living. A separate structure, an enclosed exterior bathroom with a shower, located two steps from the mudroom entrance, offers a space for the kids to shower off and to use the facilities without running through the home with sandy feet and wet bathing suits, while a lower-level toy storage area for the paddle boards, surf boards and gear is accessible through both a separate entrance accessed directly from the lake and from the interior of the home.
