"A. Perry Homes brought our vision to life with a perfect balance of structure and creativity. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the home feels both timeless and uniquely ours."
“This exterior is rooted in a more formal expression of the shingle style, reflected in a clear visual hierarchy anchored by the three prominent gable roofs. While these elements are well-balanced in their symmetrical positioning, each has its own unique detailing reflecting the differing interior spaces and uses beyond. The use of stone wherever the home touches the earth establishes a firm visual foundation to support stately massing which is then overlaid with more delicate and refined whimsical details to create a more approachable, human scale for the home.”
A layered mix of window forms, swooping shingles, and refined trim work create a home that feels both classic and coastal. Anchored by a foundation of stone and elevated through thoughtful detailing, this Lake Forest residence is a testament to A. Perry Homes’ ability to blend elegance with architectural charm.
