Built on a smaller East Edina lot, this home proves that a thoughtfully designed floor plan can give a busy family everything they need without simply building bigger. With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, every part of the home was planned around family life, function and making the most of the available space.

The interiors have a fresh, classic feel with white cabinetry, warm wood floors, soft gray and blue tones and touches of brass throughout. The kitchen is designed as the center of the home, while built-ins, a welcoming family room and dedicated spaces like the exercise room and laundry keep everyday life organized and comfortable.

The lower level was designed for gathering and entertaining, including a full bar that gives the adults a place to relax while still keeping the home centered around family. Upstairs, the five-bedroom layout provides plenty of private space without sacrificing the shared areas everyone uses together.

One of the home’s best features is the screened porch with EZ-Screen windows, a fireplace and heaters, extending the season well beyond a typical Minnesota summer. It’s another true living space rather than simply a porch, giving the family a comfortable place to gather through much of the year.

This is what we love about building on smaller lots in established Edina neighborhoods: when every square foot has a purpose, you don’t have to sacrifice the spaces that make a home work beautifully for a family.
