Custom homes on the water
Lakeside Custom Homes designs and builds custom homes, waterfront properties, and outdoor living spaces around Traverse City — from the first survey line to the final walkthrough.
How we work
A custom home begins with the property, not a floor plan. We spend time on your site before we draw anything, because the grade, the shoreline, the light, and the trees decide more about the house than any catalogue can.
We meet you on the property and study how the water, the sun, and the slope move across it — then talk through how you want to live there.
Custom home design shaped around your site and your routines, room by room, with energy performance and smart home systems planned from the start.
Waterfront construction, remodeling, and outdoor living spaces delivered by one team, with the same people from first sketch to final walkthrough.
Selected work
Waterfront homes, whole-home remodels, and outdoor living spaces on the land around Traverse City and the Grand Traverse region.
What we do
Design, construction, and everything that finishes a home, handled together so the drawings and the build stay in step.
Site-specific design that starts with your land, your light, and how you actually use a house.
Shoreline homes built for grade changes, drainage, and the freeze-thaw of northern Michigan.
Tight envelopes, high-performance windows, and mechanical systems sized for the house in front of us.
Whole-home remodels and additions that keep the character of the original house and improve how it performs.
Terraces, porches, outdoor kitchens, and paths that make the land part of the house.
Lighting, climate, audio, and security planned into the design so the technology disappears into the rooms.
Consultations
Tell us where the property is and what you have in mind. We will meet you there, look at what the site allows, and talk through design, budget, and schedule — with no obligation to move forward.
