Bright Lake House Plan

Clean and cool, this lake house plan impresses with a modern exterior. We love the nice wraparound deck. A vaulted ceiling and lots of windows create a light-filled interior (check out these tips on decorating rooms with tall ceilings from The Spruce).
The layout is simple and modern with an open kitchen, living room, and eating area. A bedroom and a full bath sit near the back of the plan.
