The Aspen by Tyris Homes - covered lakefront porch overlooking Claytor Lake in Pulaski County, VA — The Aspen’s covered wraparound deck opens directly onto Claytor Lake.

The Aspen brings elegant lakefront living to Claytor Lake in Pulaski County, Virginia. This custom home was designed and built specifically for its waterfront site, with a thoughtful floor plan that maximizes water views, natural light, and the daily connection to the lake.

Roughly 2,830 square feet of refined living space is arranged around the view. Sliding glass doors and large windows on the water side pull the outdoors in, while the covered wraparound deck extends daily living out over the water. Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms give every room its own dedicated bath — the increasingly popular arrangement for lake homes that host family and guests through the summer.

Craftsman detailing throughout — stained-wood entry door with divided lights, custom iron balusters on the stair, wood-beam ceiling in the great room — anchors the home in a materials story that suits both the lakeside setting and the New River Valley context.

Open living areas connect kitchen, dining, and gathering spaces in a flowing arrangement that supports how families actually use a lake house. The lower level’s own set of sliding doors extends the entertaining footprint to a second waterfront living space when the whole family is in for the weekend.

Detail work matched the setting. The primary bath features sage-green custom cabinets, quartz counters, brass sconces, and a mosaic basketweave floor — the kind of finished space Tyris has been recognized for with multiple NRVHBA Bath of the Year awards.

Building a home like The Aspen on a lakefront lot involves more than the design itself. Shoreline setbacks, dock permits through Appalachian Power, floodplain-elevation planning, and foundation strategy on a sloped site all shape what a lake home can be. See our Claytor Lake page for the detail on what building on Claytor actually involves, and how Tyris plans around it.

The Aspen represents an outstanding opportunity for a custom lakefront home on Claytor Lake, and its floor plan adapts to other waterfront and view-driven sites throughout the New River Valley. Contact Tyris Homes to explore how this design can be built on your homesite.
