Borelli Construction – The Courtyard

This lakefront home was built to make the most of its water view, with an outdoor living area designed to draw the eye straight out toward it from every angle.

A covered outdoor kitchen and lounge area sits just off the main living space, finished with a tiled backsplash, dual televisions, and comfortable seating arranged to take in the fountain and homes across the water. From there, the space opens onto a sun-washed terrace with a raised fire pit and wraparound wicker seating, positioned at the edge of an elevated, glass-tiled spa that spills into a long, sleek infinity pool. A second-story balcony above echoes the layout, giving an additional vantage point over the lake.

Mature palms and a manicured lawn frame the pool deck on both sides, reinforcing the sense of a private resort tucked into a quiet waterfront setting. As evening falls, the glass-tiled water feature and fountain across the lake catch the changing sky, turning the space into a natural gathering point at any hour.

The result is an outdoor living area that layers function and beauty in equal measure, designed for everything from quiet mornings by the water to full evenings of entertaining under the stars.
