There is a kind of home that does more than shelter, it remembers. It holds the particular quality of an October afternoon light falling through a stand of oaks, the stillness of a Minnesota lake at first frost, the way a family gathers without being asked. These eight Stonewood residences are built with that ambition at their core: architecture that is deeply responsive to its site, its season, and the lives that will unfold within it. They are not simply beautiful. They are enduring.
Most homes are built for the market cycle they were born in. A rare few are built for something longer. On Lake Minnetonka, Stonewood builds homes designed to still matter in 75 years.
You don’t have to move to find the home you’ve always wanted. Sometimes, your house just needs to become what it was always meant to be. Whether it’s a kitchen that never quite worked, an entry that never made the right impression, or living spaces that stopped keeping up with your family, the answer is closer than you think. Revision walks you through a remodeling process built around how you actually live, from the first conversation to the final reveal. This is what it looks like to love your house again.
Most homes are built for the first owner. A Stonewood home is built for the second generation, too. Discover how thoughtful design, waterfront expertise, invisible craftsmanship, and long-term thinking create Lake Minnetonka homes with the substance, beauty, and integrity to be handed down for generations.

A one-family, three-home story across twenty years. From a Tudor by Edina Country Club to a lake house on Minnetonka and back to Edina again, this is a case study in what custom building is really supposed to do: not just express taste, but serve life. And when life changes, the home should change with it.
Stonewood has built more finished custom homes on Lake Minnetonka than any other builder, giving families site-specific experience with lakefront setbacks, soil conditions, and shoreline permitting.
