This Pewaukee home is grand in scale with a contemporary flair. At the same time, traditional touches make it cozy and warm. And that is the magic of a modern farmhouse.
The residence is practically new, built in 2022 by a family with long wish-list. As each wish came to fruition, the brilliance of the home took shape and the result is remarkable.
The exterior is inviting. Neutral hues of cool-white wood and warm-beige stone provide an eye-catching foundation that gives a “pop” to the dark window trims and gabled roofline. The look is clean and crisp, with warm, natural accents; a theme that is carried throughout the property.
The first-floor entryway and living space are grand. An open layout allows freedom of movement from room to room, and 20-foot ceilings create a dramatic volume. At the same time, gentle design choices and natural elements temper the scale.


The two-story great room has a modern elegance. A wall of windows looks out to a beautiful meadow. Adjacent to the windows, a gas fireplace with glass stones provides the “yang” to the “yin” of a stack stone surround and maple wood mantle. Floating shelves on either side of the fireplace have accent lighting that emit a calming glow.
The kitchen is designed for cooking, eating, mingling, and more! There is informal seating at the 10-foot island, and prep space galore. A dark blue hue on the island and kitchen backsplash are a fun contrast to the crisp white walls, cabinets and countertops. Entertaining is a breeze with a six-burner JennAir stovetop and double wall ovens. The pantry is one to covet, a full eight by 13 square feet! And a dinette bumps out with enough room to seat a dozen people. Enjoy the prairie view from the dinette or walk out to the back deck for fresh air.
The first-floor master bedroom suite is a living space unto its own. A double-sided fireplace with stack stone divides the sleeping area from a sitting area. You can sip your morning coffee and enjoy the meadow-view or access the back deck. The ensuite bathroom continues the lively theme of contrasts; dark cabinets against white walls and countertops. Two mirrors over double vanities have built in LED lighting. The shower is oversized with a mix of dark and light tiles and three shower-heads. A glass chandelier over the large, black stand-alone soaking tub is an elegant reminder to indulge your senses.
An office and laundry room round out the first floor, with a great surprise. There is a built-in dog washing station, so even the family pooch can feel pampered.
The second floor features a loft overlooking the primary floor, and three bedrooms, each with unique features. Two bedrooms have tray ceilings, and the third bedroom is graced with a cathedral ceiling. One of the bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom, and the other two have a shared bathroom.
The lower level is 13-hundred square feet of finished space! There is plenty of room to enjoy media and games, create a meal in the full kitchenette and bar, and retire to a bedroom and full bathroom. There is a second, private entrance/exit that leads to the garage, which makes it perfect for a private guest retreat.
Not to be outdone by the sheer beauty of the home, is the lifestyle it provides. Outfitted with a Control4 Smart Home technology package, six cameras monitor movement both inside and outside, and the homeowner can manage lights and locks from anywhere. There is a public school across the street, and a public park just behind the home. Pewaukee Lake is within walking distance and the heart of the quaint village is a few minutes away.
Why settle for ordinary when exceptional possibilities await? This modern farmhouse makes elevated design, comfortable. And the enviable location provides the convenience, fun, and natural beauty of Lake Country.
