Over the last few weeks, I've shown you some of the beautiful homes of Harbor Springs. Most were built in the early twentieth century. Today, I thought I would show you a preview of what a CDP blogger will be posting one hundred years from now. The little number above is a prime example of an historic home in the making. It sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. It combines traditional architecture and modern materials to produce a house that is ageless. Hopefully, I can get another photo before I head south (in other words, before the first snow fall). Another reason I chose this house, you are gazing at only half of it. It is huge. Far too big for me. Good help is hard to find these days, don't you agree?

ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeletethat is huge and imposing!
wow For me it looks a palace! So big indeed and I'm thinking how many maids to help the owner to clean this house!
ReplyDelete:)
Beautiful house!

My goodness, that is a huge house. What would one need that size of house for. Maybe they have gobs of children. I like a smaller house even when I have four little ones running around. MB
ReplyDeleteHmmm ok, forget what I said in 'homes of habor springs-part 3' the other day. This one fits my needs better! When can I move in? (:
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe that is only half of it! I love the porch and I'll bet it has a gorgeous view.
ReplyDeleteConspicuous consumption in action. Beautiful, though. Or will be. Think of dollar bills flying out the window as the owner tries to cool and heat it (mostly the latter, I'm sure!).
ReplyDeleteI love the big shingle-style homes and the stone foundation is perfect on this hillside. Doesn't the round porch on the left look like a great place to sit in a rocker and read (and blog)?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your third phrase! :-) The house will be gorgeous when ready!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your congratulations!
I like the looks of it. I don't know what people do with so much house though!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a hotel not a home
ReplyDeleteThat isn't a house, it's a manor! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTake me with you...., but i do want a houseceeppppeeerrr!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice weekend from Anne in Norway.
I would not be able to keep it clean!
ReplyDeleteI'm making reservations to go to Harbor SPrings in October--will you still be there then--it shouldn't be snowing yet??
ReplyDeleteCool house, must be nice to be that rich.
Anne-OK. But what do we tell our spouses?
ReplyDeleteMary-Should be. I keep telling people I'll be here till the forecast of the first snowfall.
I always wonder what people do with all that space. They must have live-in help, don't you think? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're right that it'll likely be around a hundred yers from now.
That's only HALF of it? WoWeee! That's a big one!
ReplyDeleteI love the rock & the rounded part on the porch - It's beautiful!
Looks like it could be the setting for an upcoming episode of the lives of the rich and famous.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. When I see I new building I do sometimes wish I'd taken shots of it in the building phase.
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to calculate how many ordinary British houses would fit into this.
This would make a great home to rent for a HUGE family reunion!
ReplyDelete... If I could afford it! WoooW ... amazing!
100 years from now... still amazing!

thanks for the daydream ;o)
Beautiful, but too big! I can't imagine keeping a placed that big clean.
ReplyDeleteHearing about modern materials tends to make me worried. Hopefully they'll get this right so there's something around to see a century from now.
ReplyDeleteIs there room for both Anne and me??
