PERSONALIZED DESIGN

Entering a new chapter in life and wanting to create a home that felt both grounded and elevated, the original client of this Edina abode envisioned a home with timeless architecture and refined details that complemented the character of the neighborhood while still feeling distinctive and uniquely their own. The goal was to achieve a balance between sophistication and comfort, creating a residence—now on the market for $2.5 million—that stood apart through its design, craftsmanship, and personality rather than following trends or blending in with the surrounding homes.

DECKED IN DRAMA

Wrapped in dramatic black exterior detailing and anchored by steep architectural roof-lines, the home makes an unforgettable first impression while maintaining an enduring neighborhood sensitivity. Expansive black-frame windows flood the interior with natural light and create a stunning contrast against the moody exterior palette.

CRAFTED COMFORT

Inside, the thoughtfully curated floor plan balances refined entertaining with comfortable everyday living. The main level features an open-concept great room, designer kitchen with an oversize island, dining area, and an inviting four-season porch—all seamlessly connected to covered outdoor living spaces. Rich architectural detailing, custom millwork, and carefully framed sight lines create a home that feels both grand and intimate. Meanwhile, the upper level offers a luxurious primary suite complete with a spa-inspired bath and expansive walk-in closet, along with additional bedrooms, en-suite baths, and convenient upper-level laundry. The finished lower level provides generous recreation and guest spaces designed for entertaining and flexible family living.
