Empty-nesters settle in at Lake View Villas
As Bruce and Harlanne Roberts became empty-nesters, they searched for a home better suited to their new lifestyle. They found what they were looking for at Lake View Villas, a maintenance-provided community of clustered fourplex homes near Clinton Lake in southwest Lawrence.
A location with a view was a top priority of their home search.
“We spend 80 percent of our time in this room,” says Bruce Roberts of their sunroom, which overlooks a peaceful Alvamar meadow where deer are frequent visitors.
The couples’ shared appreciation of art, extensive travels and creative personalities are generously reflected in the home’s striking décor. A Robert Sudlow piece above the fireplace sits opposite a wall-mounted house shield from New Guinea, while a Brazilian headpiece complements a nearby Haitian wall hanging.
Personal mementos and family treasures are engagingly displayed in eye-catching collections by Harlanne Roberts, whose background in textiles and design adds to her deft decorating talents.
