Elevation Building Company
This wasn’t your typical custom build. What began as a thoughtfully designed spec home turned into a truly one-of-a-kind residence when buyers from Florida fell in love with the potential and decided to make it their own.
Located in the Arden on Lake Lanier luxury community in Cumming, Georgia, the home was still under construction when the new owners stepped in and envisioned something bigger, bolder, and more personal.
From that point on, Elevation Building Company partnered with the clients to transform the home’s impressive foundation into a true forever home. Their vision included a finished basement, elevator, and resort-style pool, all enhanced by elegant transitional farmhouse details.
What began as a spec became something spectacular: a luxury custom home tailored to its owners in every square foot.

luxe Warmth From the Start
From the moment you step inside the open-concept main floor, you’re met with an aesthetic that feels sophisticated yet approachable.
Natural wood beams stretch across the vaulted ceiling, drawing your eyes upward and grounding the space with timeless character.
Below, light wide-plank hardwood floors set a soft, organic tone that contrasts beautifully with the stone fireplace and matching accent wall. Flanking built-ins add architectural interest without crowding the space.
Balance of Bold & Natural in the Kitchen
In the kitchen, every element is deliberate and luxe. The waterfall island takes center stage with striking veining, paired with rich dark cabinetry and warm brass hardware.
Above the range, the same bold stone is carried through the custom hood surround and backsplash niche, tying everything together with earthy drama. A pair of sculptural pendant lights add sparkle and balance.
Just behind the scenes, the back kitchen is a study in utility and beauty—open shelving, matte black counters, subway tile, and gold accents create a space that feels every bit as stylish as it is practical.


Calm & Refined Primary Suite
This primary bathroom blends spa-like serenity with bold, elegant design. A scultural freestanding tub sits center stage, backed by a glass-framed walk-in shower wrapped in marble-look tile.
Brass fixtures and a statement chandelier elevate the space with a touch of glam.
The double vanity features rich, dark cabinetry, quartz counters, and warm wood accents for a layered, luxurious look. With dual dressing areas and custom storage, it’s designed for both beauty and high function.
Every detail feels intentional, polished, calming, and effortlessly refined.
High-End Lower Level
This lower level feels anything but underground. Natural light pours in through large windows and glass doors, connecting the indoors with the landscape beyond.
A sleek linear fireplace and coffered ceiling elevate the lounge space, while the adjacent kitchen—with its dramatic island and built-in fridge—makes entertaining effortless.
Just around the corner, a private sauna offers the ultimate way to unwind, complete with easy backyard access for a refreshing post-session cooldown.

Playful Hideway
Tucked behind a bookcase door upstairs is a hideaway designed with little guests in mind—a secret bunk room that’s equal parts charming and clever.
Built-in bunks with sleek black railings, individual sconces, and cozy nooks make this space a dream hangout for sleepovers or quiet downtime.
It’s one of those unexpected features that elevates the entire home, proving that great design can be both playful and refined.
Next-Level Outdoor Oasis
The outdoor living spaces in this home are nothing short of spectacular. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen—complete with built-in grill, fridge, and sink—makes it effortless to entertain in style.
Just steps away, the resort-style pool and hottub are framed in stone and surrounded by forest views, creating a secluded retreat-like experience right at home. The pool’s integrated sun shelf and in-pool seating add a fun touch, while the fire pit nearby invites evening relaxation.
Upstairs, the screened-in porch with its warm wood ceiling, cozy fireplace, and modern pendants creates a seamless indoor-outdoor connection—perfect for any season.
