Perched above the water in Excelsior, Excelsior Lookout is a cottage reimagined. Completed in 2026, this Revision project marries the easy charm of a classic lakeside retreat with a quietly modern edge: steep, white-trimmed gables, soft gray cedar shingles, and a black standing-seam canopy that sharpens the façade without ever raising its voice. Understated outside, unforgettable within.

Out front, a stone-clad entry, a rich wooden door, and a paver walkway lined with hydrangeas and ornamental grasses welcome guests home. Around back, boulder-terraced gardens, stone steps, and generous decks step down toward the lawn, extending living space outdoors and keeping the lake always in view. Every detail feels collected over time, never staged.

Inside, the great room soars beneath a vaulted ceiling crossed with reclaimed timber beams, while a wall of windows frames the water like a living landscape. The kitchen balances navy cabinetry, warm brass hardware, and a walnut island and hood, all grounded by wide-plank white oak floors that glow in the afternoon light. The result is airy, warm, and effortlessly livable.

Excelsior Lookout is proof of what a thoughtful, whole-home Revision can achieve: a remodel with real presence, craftsmanship built to outlast trends, and a home reshaped not only for how it looks, but for how a family gathers, indoors and out, from the first coffee on the deck to the last light over the lake.
