Yankee Barn Homes barnstyle home on Lake Charlevoix, Michigan

This barn style home, built by Yankee Barn Homes on Lake Charlevoix, Michigan, is simply stunning. Built with the idea of complimenting it’s surrounding topography, the barn house is both unassuming and eye-catching, all at the same time.

Well Done!
