The home’s transparency begins at the entry, where a clear view extends straight through to the lake beyond. The 12-foot tall sliding glass doors, elegantly finished in a warm wood tone, effortlessly link the indoor living room to the covered outdoor living space, and onward to the infinity edge pool.
