2845 Little Orchard Way, Orono, MN 55391

OPEN & CONNECTED

While the home offered an exceptional setting, many of its spaces no longer reflected the way families live today. The renovation focused on opening sightlines to the lake, relocating the kitchen to become the heart of the home, simplifying architectural details, and introducing wellness, entertaining, and gathering spaces that feel connected, intentional, and enduring. The reimagined lakeside kitchen, dramatic great room, private wellness suite with sauna, boutique-inspired primary suite, expansive outdoor living spaces, and uninterrupted views of Maxwell Bay are among the home’s defining features. Every room was designed to strengthen the connection between the home, the landscape, and those who gather within it.

A NEW LIFE

The home balances classic architecture with refined contemporary details. Highlights include a barrel-vaulted ceiling in the great room, custom millwork throughout, natural stone, wide-plank hardwood flooring, a chef’s kitchen with Wolf appliances, layered lighting, and a calming palette inspired by the surrounding landscape. Overall, Little Orchard represents Streeter’s philosophy of thoughtful transformation—preserving what gives a home its soul while reimagining it for the next generation. Rather than simply remodeling a remarkable property, the project demonstrates how intentional design, exceptional craftsmanship, and respect for place can create a home that feels both timeless and entirely new.
