“Location is everything in real estate. Once you get that settled, then find the architect who can make the most of your property. We found that team in A Perry Homes. The results exceeded our expectations in every way.”
“Dramatic views of Lake Michigan, perched on the edge of a tall bluff along the beachfront, were all the inspiration we needed for this design. We developed a unique floor plan, that bends and angles to provide more direct views of the water, while adding privacy where needed. All the rooms on the first floor and walkout lower level have unobstructed water views, and the indoor pool projects from the rear of the home allowing full 180 degree vistas of the waterfront horizon beyond.”
