Woohoo! It’s Tour TimeAs I write this I’m just locking down our final homes
for the 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Home Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on September 19—all while breathing a sigh of relief, albeit an excited one. Putting together the home tour is a jenga that involves 1) identifying stunning homes 2) hoping that the contractors who built the stunning homes will understand the value of putting the homes on the tour 3) obtaining permission from the owners of the stunning homes to put their home on the tour …
I am delighted to say that we have successfully secured 12 stunning homes because their 12 far-sighted contractors and 12 magnanimous owners agreed to put the homes on the tour (and allow me to pause here and especially thank these homeowners for the money this tour raises for Child and Family Services of Northwestern Michigan).
Now let me talk about these homes! The views from each are worth the price of the ticket—on this tour, you’ll gaze, starry-eyed, out floor-to-ceiling-windows that look out on sweet tiny Armstrong Lake, Little Glen Lake, Lake Michigan’s Sleeping Bear Bay, full-on Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Skegemog. You’ll also see the absolute most energy efficient homes being built today (we’re talking negative energy bills!) and the active, stylish way the new gen of 55+ folks want to live. And design ideas? Go ahead, log out of pinterest.com and houzz.com. Visions of gorgeous granites, ingenious window coverings and the latest fabrics, appliances, floor coverings, furniture styles, tile and fixtures will be dancing in your head for days. Please, no photos in these homes. But you can certainly chat with their designers, who will help you identify what you love.
Find the guide to the 2015 Northern Home and Cottage Home Tour on page 12 of this issue. I look forward to seeing you on the tour!

You know where you want to go. Let’s talk about how we can help you get there.
It was the same challenge every summer. Dad would take the boat to “our spot”.. our favorite secluded beach on the sand dunes.
After he anchored the boat we donned our cool new goggles and got ready for the race. Mom would yell “GO!”, and we would all plunge into the big lake and race Dad to the top of the dunes. He would always win, of course.
Until this year– finally. The celebration that followed featured ice cream, smores, and lots of humble pie for Dad.

annual
The 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Home Tour treats tourgoers to 12 homes, each chosen for their distinctive style and/or innovative lifestyle concept. On this tour you’ll see nationally acclaimed modern design, pioneer-ing NetZero energy effi ciency, lovely shingle and coastal looks and more. The tour itself winds around the Leelanau Peninsula, through Traverse City (with a jog out onto the Old Mission Peninsula) and out to Skegemog Point Drive, northeast of Traverse City.
There’s no shortage of water scenery along the way: the Glen Lakes, Sleeping Bear Bay, wide open Lake Michigan, East and West Grand Traverse Bays and Lake Skegemog.
September, when the summer crowds have thinned, is just the time to make this drive.
From end to end, the tour is about 80 miles—very doable in a day, but it helps to plan your route ahead of time. As always, we’ve kept the ticket prices low so if you can’t make it to all of the homes, you’ll still fi nd full value in your day.
We are so grateful to the homeowners who have so generously opened their homes for this tour that ben-efi ts Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan. Established in the 1930s, this organization provides crucial services to the children and families of our region.
Tickets (along with the tour map and driving directions) are $15 in advance, $20 day of. To purchase tickets please go

“Be joyful because it is humanly possible.” - Wendell Berry
0815_NHC_hometour1-4.indd 16 7/8/15 7:23 PM
Builder Jim Anderson recalls the first time he accompa-
nied architect David Salmela to the site on sweet, placid
Armstrong Lake, where Doug and Bonnie Yingst were
planning to build a home. The couple knew they wanted
a home with clean modern lines—a structure that would
slip quietly into the wooded site—and so they had tracked
down Jim, who had already made a name for himself
constructing the designs of Northern Michigan’s modern-
ist architects Glenn Arai and Roger Hummel. “David was
influenced by the vertical lines of the trees,” Jim says of
that first site visit.
David, whose forebears immigrated to Minnesota from
Finland, has made a national name for himself as a Great
Lakes modernist—an architect who pulls on the cool clean-
liness of Nordic design and finds inspiration in the simple
structures that built the Northwoods, such as agricultural
buildings, fishermen’s shanties, woodcutters cabins.
Typical of his style, David’s design for the Armstrong
Lake home reflects what is around it: those sentinel hard-
woods and the view of the lake. The geometric structure
is constructed with vertical columns that support four-foot
widths of glass that let in generous views of the site. The
interior spills down several steps from the great room into
the kitchen—a waterfall comes to mind. The buildings are
mostly faced in black, like an inky forest that the sun has
to work to penetrate. A couple of outbuildings mimic the
main house, and an outdoor freestanding masonry chim-
ney/fireplace invites visitors to gather around the warmth.
This nationally acclaimed home is a rare treat for tourgo-
ers—as is the pavilion that David Salmela also designed for
the grounds. Shaped like a bolt of lightning touching
ground, it is fabricated with the same material used to
build skateboard parks.

Like the classy grande dame she is, this home has clung
to her best features since she was built in the 1920s or
30s—a stately porte cochère, white-painted fireplace man-
tel with a neo-classical relief across it, fieldstone fireplace,
Dutch lap siding and Douglas fir floors. But the years took
their toll, covering her good qualities with suburban-blue
siding, linoleum, bad fixtures …
Enter homeowners Joe and Fran White and their archi-
tect/contractor Matt Wollam, who finished renovating this
Little Glen Lake home just this summer. The project was a
perfect fit for Matt’s penchant for echoing historic detail
and the Whites’ exuberance for tastefully outfitting homes.
A seamless new addition makes the home large enough
for two families to vacation together (yes, you could rent
this and enjoy your dream Glen Lake vacation!). Upstairs,
two master suites anchor each end of the home, with five
smaller bedrooms and baths between. Fran’s eye for period
wall colors sets the right Up North tone. Two staircases lead
to two living areas connected by a spacious kitchen that
functions in overdrive for modern families while carrying the
warm feel of a bygone era: mossy green-painted cabinetry,
two white enamel farmhouse sinks, two Sub-Zero refrigera-
tors, a 48-inch Wolf range, and a handsome butler’s pantry.
Wollam uncovered the original Dutch lap siding then
matched it for the addition, refurbished the porte cochère,
refinished the Douglas fir and oak floors, and designed per-
fectly period balconies off the master suites that hearken to
Gatsby, Daisy and mint juleps. The white embossed fire-
place mantel is glossier than ever, and the fieldstone chim-
ney still stands tall. The manicured lawn rolls out to the
ageless Little Glen Lake view—not West Egg. Better. ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS MANAGING EDITOR OF NORTHERN HOME & COTTAGE.

Designer Angela Goodall describes this residence on Lake
Michigan as a contemporary beach house with some indus-
trial edginess as expressed in accents of weathered bronze
metal. In this extensive cosmetic remodel, the only structural
changes were to the master bedroom where the ceiling was
raised to introduce a unique feature called a bronze collar tie.
Additionally, a closet was removed to widen the bathroom,
allowing space for a contemporary freestanding soaking
tub—with a view of Sleeping Bear Bay. Soft gray cabinetry
and Calcutta Gold marble round out the bathroom.
In the kitchen, a water-colored glass tile backsplash
replaced pickled wood paneling and a whimsical mermaid
mosaic-inset, once set behind the stove, was moved to
where she belongs: in the bathroom shower. High-end appli-
ances, white-painted custom cabinetry, a new island and
marble countertops complete the kitchen.
In the living area, a country style woodstove was replaced
with a contemporary stainless model that shines against its
backdrop of Ann Sacks stacked-stone tile on the wall. A new
wet bar and dark-gray stained cabinetry complement the
newly refinished and stained hardwood floor.
Other must-see’s: A girl’s bedroom and Crow’s Nest with
soft white walls and chartreuse shag carpet; built-in bunk
beds in the boys’ room; an entertainment room with dark
navy blue walls to enhance the in-home theater experience,
and a one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass fixture in the foyer.

This gray, shingle-style home on Sleeping Bear Bay fits
into its shore-side setting with the confidence and grace of
a great American coastal classic. Walk into the simple but
elegant foyer (worthy of a sea captain’s homecoming) and
then into a great room that shines with the attention to
detail that comes with assembling a first-class design-and-
build team: builder Dale Boone, architect Sarah Bourgeois,
kitchen designer Sandra Bargiel and homeowners Mike
and Susan Garver.
The great room with its handsome Brazilian cherry floor,
dove-gray walls and glossy white woodwork is a hand-
some backdrop for the stunning bay view visible through
the bank of windows and glass doors. A Scandinavian-style
teak dining room set (from Edwards Home Furnishings in
Suttons Bay) creates a fluid transition from the open living
room to the open kitchen, where a built-in breakfast nook
with banquette seating offers more intimate dining.
The kitchen manages all its functions in crisp, inviting
style. Expansive Super White granite countertops and
glossy white fireclay sink make prep a breeze, while cook-
ing and baking are elevated on the dual-fuel, six-burner,
double-oven Wolf Range. A small but efficient bar and
coffee center holds a KitchenAid Architect Series Icemaker
and KitchenAid double-drawer refrigerator. Tucked
between the kitchen and the door to the garage, a gener-
ous butler’s pantry keeps the muss and fuss out of sight.
It’s all pulled together with a translucent white subway tile
backsplash and painted white Shaker-style cupboards.
Behind this home’s beautiful façade are several clever
ideas that make living here that much sweeter: two wash-
ers and two dryers (one set is near the beach access door
and the other is in the master bedroom closet), remote-
controlled screens on the verandas and a lovely, light-
weight painting in the living room that lifts off to reveal the
big screen television.

The Homestead’s Vantage Pointe
development, set on the far north-
west corner of Sleeping Bear Bay, has
grown one lovely home at a time since
its inception in the 1990s. Somehow,
however, the prize lot, nestled up to
the protected acreage of the Sleeping
Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, was
overlooked—until Todd and Wendy
Opperman snapped it up last year.
Working with Paul Maurer
Contracting and designer Angela
Goodall the couple has built a light, airy
and very stylish vacation home deserv-
ing of its spectacular site. The view
dazzles from the doorway through
fl oor-to-ceiling windows—a big, blue

If you have the average three bedroom home, last winter you probably paid about $2400 to heat it. This year... you can
already guess what energy costs will end up being.
How would you like to cut that in half, to say $1200? Or better yet, by two-thirds, to $800? We thought so.
Call GeoFurnace today to learn how you can drastically reduce your heating and cooling costs. With a geothermal heating and cooling
system from WaterFurnace, it’s not as difficult as you would think.

point to the south, Pyramid Point to the
north and South Manitou Island—so close
it feels like you could reach out and touch
it. Sails breeze by, freighters pass, birds and
squirrels flit and hop in the surrounding
leafy forest.
Everything about the home was designed
to complement the view. A scraped walnut-
brown wood floor recalls tree bark, the
kitchen counters and island topped in thick
white granite streaked with the shades
of dunes and water evoke, well, sand and
water, and the weathered-wood staircase
feels like driftwood.
The home lives simply with touches of luxury.
A top of the line Pro 48 SubZero refrigerator
sports a classy glass door, the Wolf range is
topped with a custom hood, a stacked stone
wall is outfitted with a big-screen television
and a gas fireplace, a fully equipped wet bar
and lounge area exude relaxation and a spa
tub at treetop level offers up glimpses of
Lake Michigan through the boughs—all of
which makes this home rock.

Northern Home & Cottage first wrote
about this cottage in 2006. At that time,
the cottage had been transformed from
a homely cinderblock structure (perhaps
once used as a Native American school-
house) into a rustic seasonal cabin that
rocked an understated style the home-
owners termed “cozy industrial.” When
Detroit designer Kyle Evans saw it for
the first time in 2006, he fell in love. “It
was tiny with so much charm and char-
acter,” he says.
As the family grew and it was time
to enlarge the cottage, Kyle was ready
for the job. Wanting to leave the orig-
inal cabin as untouched as possible,
Kyle oversaw the design of a separate
2,400-square-foot structure that used
the same basic architectural elements
including cinderblock, cedar and birch
plywood that define the original cabin.
The family then transformed the origi-
nal cabin into a summer entertaining
kitchen—updated using completely sus-
tainable materials. The summer kitchen
opens on to a fabulous outdoor terrace,
outfitted with a bar and wood-fired
pizza oven. The terrace spills out to the
bluff-edge of the property, delivering a
magnificent Lake Michigan view.
While the new home echoes its diminu-
tive counterpart in both interior and exte-
rior building materials, the construction is
state-of-the-art—insulated tightly to keep
it cozy in four seasons and smart enough
to control everything from turning up the
heat to turning on the water fountains
remotely. And the interior style? Suffice
it to say that tourgoers will be treated
to what happens when one of Detroit’s
most celebrated designers turns his heart
and extensive talents north.
Expect fine, classic pieces from an
eclectic mix of time periods and styles—
Memphis, country, mid-century modern
and early 20th century—put together to
form what Kyle terms a “timeless peri-
od.” Look for mini-themes in every room:
a collection of hand mirrors in the pow-
der room, a nautical theme in another
bathroom that revolves around lighting
made from old fishing bobbers. And you
won’t want to miss the great local art,
including a piece by Clay Carlson, whose
family had fished out of Leland for
generations.

With their gallant red spires, unexpected curves and
arches and throw-your-braid-over balconies, the 19th-cen-
tury Victorian Italianate buildings at the Grand Traverse
Commons feel enchanted. Traverse City has watched,
entranced, as the Minervini Group has transformed this his-
toric former state hospital campus into The Village at Grand
Traverse Commons, a high-end residential community sur-
rounded by boutiques, eateries, wineries and trails.
The heart of the development is Building 50—a four-and
fi ve-story labyrinth that stretches a quarter-mile through
the campus and adds up to a total 386,740 square feet of
architecturally brilliant space. Until 2010 the north end sat
vacant, looking more and more forlorn as the south end
became a hive of cool.
That was the year Karen Anderson heard about the vil-
lage. Karen is the founder and CEO of Cordia, a small, inno-
vative and experienced organization devoted to creating
meaningful lifestyle opportunities for people over 55. She
lives in Boston and had never heard of Traverse City—but
she did her research, and was blown away about what
she found out about The Village at the Grand Traverse
Commons. Fast forward several years to the buzz and whirr
of jackhammers and sandblasters unleashed to renovate the
southern end of Building 50 into the Senior Residential Club
at Grand Traverse Commons.
The fi nished project is 110 private residences—92 of which
have a unique design and layout—and 30,000 square feet
of gracious common area. Residences, ranging from studios
to one and two bedrooms, are leased for an all-inclusive
monthly fee that includes weekly housekeeping, one meal
per day and access to the club's common spaces. Counted
in that public space are an upscale restaurant presided
over by Michael Bauer—a chef known in Traverse City for
his farm-to-table ethic—a pub, a bar and a lovely outdoor
patio with a fi re ring. The club abounds with mind and soul-
fulfi lling opportunities from art classes led by one of Cordia’s
three artists-in-residences to concerts and informational
talks.
Of course, the many amenities of the Village of Grand
Traverse—Spanglish for Latin food, Higher Grounds Coffee,
Left Foot Charley Winery, Underground Cheesecake—are
just a short walk away. And if Cordia residents don’t feel
like going outside, they can walk through carpeted halls all
the way to the other end of Building 50 to shopping the
Mercato (Italian for marketplace), dine at one of two fi ne
Italian restaurants and much more.

Tourgoers on the 2015 Northern Home & Cottage Home
Tour will learn much more about what Cordia offers. They
will also be treated to tours of two of the private residenc-
es. The basic interior design of both units is by Anne Webb
Johnson of Wellesley Interior Design in Massachusetts—
who is also responsible for the sophisticated public space
interiors.
Johnson outfitted the units with granite countertops,
custom ceramic tile showers and cherry cabinetry. The
plush carpeting is from Mohawk’s Aladdin collection,

Consider this: In March, when the
rest of us were still shuddering under
substantial energy bills as the bitter
Northern Michigan winter dragged on,
the Lardies, one of the fi rst families to
move into Traverse City’s new Depot
Neighborhood, paid just $2.50. Yep,
that decimal is in the right place: Two
dollars and fi fty cents for heat and
utilities for a family of six. And after this
summer, the family’s fi rst in the home,
the Lardies will probably never have
another energy bill. That’s because the
energy made from solar panels on the
top of their super-insulated home will
generate enough kilowatts to the grid
to more than credit the Lardies for
what they’ll use next winter.

homes ever constructed, they are
some of the very first in a planned
affordable housing community such as
Depot Neighborhood—a project built
in collaboration with Habitat for
Humanity Grand Traverse and
HomeStretch Non-profit Housing
Corporation. Come and find out what
makes these homes of the future so

This lovely waterside home on Old Mission Peninsula
speaks with a soft, southern coastal accent: hurricane
shutters, a cupola above the outside stone porch and
Caribbean colonial pale yellow-and-black color palette.
Inside, the liquid blues of West Grand Traverse Bay flood
the great room through expansive windows and a sliding
door. Homeowners Fred and Laraine Schorr continued
the sophisticated coastal vibe on the interior with choices
including a Santos Mahogany floor, beach-glass blue walls,
white beadboard and molding and a black granite hearth.
The two-story home hovers around 3,500 square feet
but lives much larger thanks to an open great-room floor
plan, the expansive porch (outfitted with a stone fireplace)
and well-thought-out details, including a Murphy Bed in
the office/guest room. In the kitchen the Schorrs (both of
whom love to cook) added a circular granite counter-height
four-top to the end of the working island so that guests can
comfortably do what they always do: Hang out in the kitchen
while their hosts cook.
The Schorrs can’t say enough about Mike Ferarro and his
crew, crediting Mike with a “good eye for design and incred-
ible with follow up and attention to detail.” The homeown-
ers, who lived out of state while construction was going on,
made only a handful of trips to check on progress. They
trusted Mike so much that when he called to tell them the
shade of blue wall paint they’d chosen looked washed out,
they trusted him to use his own judgment and paint it one
shade darker. Like everything else about this home, the
shade ended up to be perfect. ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS MANAGING EDITOR OF NORTHERN HOME & COTTAGE.

If you’ve ever thought of downsizing (or if you simply love
perfectly designed smallish homes!) this home is a must—
see. Gary and Nancy Nealis had been living in a much larger
house when they decided to simplify their lives by build-
ing this 1,800-square-foot home. The clincher? They didn’t
want to sacrifice amenities. And a couple of other caveats:
their pretty little lot on Old Mission Peninsula with its view
of East Grand Traverse Bay was narrow and considered
hard to build on. And to boot, the Nealises, who began the
project just last winter, wanted to be in their new home by
June 2015.
Enter the super-efficient team of architect Robert
Holdeman, builder Brian Mohr of Calybr Homes, and Cedar
Creek Interiors. The finished product shines like a precious
little gem. An open floor plan with a three-season porch and
view of the bay, wraps around a courtyard that holds a just-
the-right-sized swimming pool—a pool that also has a view
of the bay. But the real proof that fine living can come with
a diminutive floor plan is a bay window set off the living area
with a view of the pool—a nook that offers just enough room
for a baby grand piano.
The homeowners can’t say enough about how well Calybr
Homes executed the construction and the fine craftsman-
ship—all the while meeting their six-month timeline. Cedar
Creek Interiors added the finishing touches on an interior
that breathes relaxed coastal style. ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS MANAGING EDITOR OF NORTHERN HOME & COTTAGE.

Lynn Didier and her husband, John
Karwoski, have a beautiful new home
on Lake Skegemog. Lynn also has two
talented grandchildren, one of whom,
Nikita Hausz, at age 13 last year, made
two videos for the couple. The first,
Our Dream Home perfectly captures
the angst and suspense every home-
builder feels during construction.
The second, Bon Maison, is a mon-
tage of the finished home. This one, set
to soft classical music, moves through
the following images and more: the
cathedral-ceiling-high decorated tree
the family put up for their first Christmas
in the home last year; the stone fire-
place lit with a roaring fire; the six-sided
prep island topped with glowing
Golden Beach granite that echoes the
nearby three-sided bar counter; the
buttery yellow French Provincial cus-
tom cabinetry—complete with a built-
in hutch; the outdoor fireplace, the
cascading staircase with custom
wrought iron; the oversized catwalk
that is roomy enough for a sofa to
lounge on while you take in views of
Lake Skegemog; the luxurious master
bedroom with its two-tiered tray ceil-
ing; the whirlpool bath that feels as
though it's set in a treehouse … ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS MANAGING EDITOR OF
