Designed for a family in Minnetonka, this home brings together classic architecture, comfortable family spaces and a strong connection to the outdoors. The crisp white exterior, black windows and trim, steep gables and metal roof accents give the home a timeless look with a more modern edge.

Inside, natural light was a priority. Large windows surround the main gathering spaces and frame views of the wooded property, while a stone fireplace creates a warm focal point in the family room. The home was designed to feel open and bright while still having the comfortable, defined spaces that work well for everyday family life.

One of our favorite spaces is the screened porch, designed to be used far beyond the summer months. EZ-Screen windows, heaters, a wood ceiling and full stone fireplace create an outdoor room the family can enjoy nearly year-round. Just outside, the pool and outdoor cooking area extend the entertaining space even further.

An exercise room and other spaces dedicated to the family’s lifestyle make the home as functional as it is beautiful. It’s a home designed for the way this family really lives—whether it’s a quiet night by the fire, a workout, a summer day at the pool or a house full of family and friends.
