Refined Elegance in Edina

Edina, Minnesota Spring Tour

A Modern Tudor Retreat for Empty Nesters

This spring, we’re excited to showcase one of our most unique projects in Edina—a home crafted specifically for a couple looking to embrace a new phase of life. Designed with the summer months in mind, this modern take on a classic Tudor home is the perfect blend of sleek lines, traditional charm, and contemporary comforts.

Located in the heart of Edina, just steps from the Edina Country Club, the home’s exterior makes an immediate impression with its clean stucco finish, accentuated by warm wood details. The carefully designed architecture respects the timeless elegance of Tudor style while incorporating modern design elements to create a sleek, streamlined aesthetic.

Step inside, and you’ll find a living space crafted for relaxation and entertaining. The main floor is where this home truly shines. A stunning master suite allows the homeowners to enjoy single-level living, complete with serene views of the beautifully landscaped yard and pool area. Speaking of the pool, it’s the centerpiece of the outdoor space—perfect for those warm summer afternoons.

The main floor also features a spacious bar and lounge area, ideal for hosting friends or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a casual summer afternoon by the pool, the open-plan design ensures the indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly together.

For their visiting children and guests, the homeowners have thoughtfully designed additional bedrooms upstairs, providing comfort and privacy for everyone.

Head down to the lower level, and you’ll find another world of entertainment—a dedicated golf simulator for keeping up with their game no matter the weather. Adjacent to the simulator is a cozy cigar lounge, where you can relax after a “round” with a favorite smoke. The media room, just steps away, is perfect for movie nights or catching the latest game.

This Edina retreat truly is the ultimate empty-nester home, where luxury meets practicality in a beautiful, serene setting. We invite you to experience it in person at the Spring Artisan Tour, where modern design and traditional style come together to create a home tailored for relaxation, entertaining, and making new memories.

Lakeside Luxury in Tonka Bay

Tonka Bay, Minnesota Fall Tour

A Nautical-Inspired Haven for a Busy Family

Nestled on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, our latest custom home in Tonka Bay is a stunning example of traditional East Coast style reimagined for modern lakeside living. This “Lakestyle” home is inspired by classic shingle architecture, softened by feminine lines and infused with nautical influences, creating a serene yet dynamic space for a busy family.

The home’s exterior reflects its East Coast heritage with shingle siding and a calming palette of blue tones that mirror the lake just beyond. Inside, those same blue hues weave throughout the home’s design, creating a cohesive and calming atmosphere that balances elegance and functionality.

At the heart of the main level is a gathering room, dining area, and a spacious kitchen, all positioned to take full advantage of the incredible long views of Lake Minnetonka. This open-concept living area connects seamlessly to a large, four-season porch. The bi-folding doors can be fully opened to invite in the fresh lake breeze, while the porch itself boasts a bar, fireplace, and adjacent grilling area, making it the perfect spot for both cozy family nights and larger gatherings.

Designed with family in mind, the main floor also features an in-law suite for multigenerational living and future accessibility, complete with space for a future elevator. It’s a home built to grow and adapt with its family.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a retreat in itself, with an expansive view of the lake and access to a covered balcony, perfect for quiet mornings or peaceful evenings. Each of the four upstairs bedrooms is thoughtfully arranged around a children’s craft room, a space where creativity and play take center stage.

The lower level is designed for entertainment and relaxation. A bar, shuffleboard, and a collection of vintage video games create the ultimate fun zone for kids and adults alike. It’s a space that promises laughter, friendly competition, and family memories.

And just steps from the main home is a boathouse—a beloved piece of this property’s history—rebuilt by Revision five years ago. Visitors to the home might also recognize the historic tower on the grounds, currently undergoing a transformation into a man cave, preserving its charm while adding modern comfort.

This Tonka Bay home perfectly captures the essence of lakeside living—elegant, functional, and deeply connected to the beauty of Lake Minnetonka. We’re excited to showcase this nautical-inspired masterpiece and invite you to experience its blend of timeless design and family-friendly comfort.
