The villa’s grander façade faces the lake, rather than the street, a reminder of a time when wealthy visitors would have traveled up the North Shore by boat or yacht to dock at the edge of the Pike’s property.

The vibrant, California-inspired outdoor furniture brings this old world estate into the modern era. 44 ModernLifestyles.tv
