Meticulously crafted to harmonize with its surroundings, this home minimizes its ecological footprint while offering a model for sustainable living. Through innovative design choices, it fosters a balance between luxury and environmental stewardship along the shoreline.

Designed to preserve the natural beauty of Lake Minnetonka, this lakeside home adheres to key principles of the Framework for Design Excellence. It exemplifies “Design for Energy” through the integration of solar panels and an electric car charging station, state-of-the-art, sustainable energy practices.

The residence also incorporates “Design for Water” with a green roof on the lakeside deck, which captures rainwater and snowmelt. This feature reduces stormwater runoff and helps regulate interior temperatures, lowering the need for mechanical cooling and enhancing energy efficiency. The natural plantings on the roof and site provide habitats for local ecosystems.

Another key feature of the home is the rescued and meticulously restored historic garage, a tribute to the area's heritage. Its carefully preserved facade reflects the home’s character, with its presence honoring the past and the enduring charm of the established neighborhood.
