FABULOUS FAMILY SPACES | FOUR SPECIAL ROOMS IDEAL TO DWELL WITH LOVED ONES Lakeside Life WHEN TOWNES AND SUE LEA BOUGHT THEIR SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE HOME, THEY CREATED A COMFORTABLE SETTING IDEAL FOR ENJOYING THE WATERFRONT. TOWNES AND SUE LEA'S home in The Water's Edge has a perfect view of Smith Mountain Lake from almost every room. And the renovations they took on to make the house their own further accentuate its incredible location. "We had good bones to 60 JULY/AUGUST 2014 work with when we moved in, which made renovating a smooth process," Sue says. When family visits - five children and six grandchildren - the house is full of folks who want to enjoy the amenities of the lake. If they're not out on the dock lounging and fishing or cruising around the water on jet skis, the group is often found in the den. This cozy space, formerly a screened-in porch, features comfortable seating, views of the lake and two skylights that let in the right amount of sunlight. THE R OANOKER.COM
