Today’s home tour will take you through the Tudor style addition made to a lakeside cottage in Sparta, New Jersey. The residence was enlarged by the architects at John Toates Architecture and Design without hampering the local aesthetics and traditional charm of the property. Materials like wood, stone and bricks have come together to make this home beautiful and unique. Strategically positioned glass windows let in sunlight, while warm colors and trendy furnishing promise comfort. Inside you will get to appreciate some gorgeous wrought irons works and quaint touches as well.
Tudor style architecture reflected in the gable and rich wooden paneling lend lots of charm and personality to the abode. A lush and well-maintained garden is a plus.
From this angle, you can admire the combination of wood, stone and bricks along with the pretty windows and stately grey roofs. You can also figure out the drastic change that was carried out to the original facade by introducing the beautiful addition.
The newly-built dormer window is a quaint addition representing countryside charm and the bringing in of ample sunlight.
Quaint projecting volumes like this add uniqueness to the house, while the windows look pretty as a picture. Wood and brick make for a very earthy combination here.

Old-fashioned windows with wooden shutters and wood cladding on the front facade create a warm and cozy impression on any onlooker. The overhang comes with elegant detailing underneath for visual pleasure.
