When the original developers of The Preserve at Stoney Ridge chose lots for their own homes on the banks of Lake Martin, member Dennis Patrylo picked the deep-water lot with the best view. Then, he built a home that made the most of that spectacular Blue Creek view from every possible vantage point and with architectural features that blended well with the classical craftsman elements of its Historical Concepts design.

A founder of Peachtree City, Georgia’s, Tiernan & Patrylo, Inc., an engineering and industrial construction firm, Patrylo modified the house plan to expand the outdoor living spaces and add a walk-out ground floor that would offer more access to Lake Martin’s popular Blue Creek.
