He wanted to honor that idea by building a showstopper of a home, similar to many of the grand old homes you would find along Ward Parkway. “So when we really looked at it—a corner, high-visibility lot on the Parkway—we looked at it as a real opportunity to do our best and add something nice.”

Here's the McMansion highlight that stands out . . .

A plunge pool, hidden staircase and wine cellar that doubles as a bar are just a few of the extras that Liz and Kyle Freeman incorporated into their Northland home, which they designed to showcase what a little creativity and attention to detail can produce.
