Probably bought house plans because they ticked all the boxes for space / layout. Then the builder told them they should orient the house this way for proper sun exposure. Then this was the result. Many such cases.>>2965098
My theory is that older lakehouses started out as second, humble cottages in the 40s and 50s and, as families and wages grew, it became normal to just chuck an addition on. That was the era before money printing and infinite loans so you had to figure it out as you could afford and trust a local contractor or builder hundreds of miles away to do it right without you being present. And then you did another improvised addition. And then another.

My mother was touring places last summer and I went along twice with her and buying used is just dire. It's basically a rule in southern Wisconsin non-prime lake lakehouses that an older lakehouse for sale will be a pit. In my mind I was thinking "this is worth $100k" and the fucking things are $500, 600, 800k+ for 2000 square foot dumps that smell like mildew and look like half the pictures in this thread.>>2967501
I've seen lots of houses like that in rural areas. That they bought a set of house plans like >>2967528 said seems to be a likely cause though in this case, the weird carport doesn't seem like something that would have been standard on any set of blueprints.

According to relatives in the area, it used to be a common middle class thing to have a cabin "up north" if you were a middle class worker in the suburbs of Detroit. During the warmer months, there would be massive traffic jams on Friday evenings as huge numbers of families drove up to their country cabin for the weekend. Since they weren't permanent residences and winterized only to the most basic extent, they didn't age well.
