This home was designed for a family who wanted to be closer to school, sports and the activities that were such a big part of their everyday life. More than anything, they wanted a beautiful Edina home that made family life easier and gave everyone spaces that worked for them.

The exterior has a fresh take on classic architecture, with crisp white siding, strong gables, black windows and metal roof accents creating a timeless look with just enough contrast. The large windows bring natural light throughout the home and give it a bright, welcoming feel.

Inside, function drove many of the decisions. Gathering spaces were designed around time together, while dedicated spaces, including a music room, reflect the family’s interests and routines. Storage, flow and everyday usability were just as important as how each room looked.

This is a home where family came first in the design. It’s beautiful, but more importantly, it works—from busy school mornings and practices to music, family dinners and having friends over. A home designed around the life they were already living and the years ahead.
