A Lake Minnetonka primary suite becomes a restorative retreat, honoring decades of family life while creating space for quiet mornings, meaningful work, and the next chapter ahead. Watercolor sheers soften the porch’s lake-facing windows, where paired daybeds, layered pillows, and a sculptural bubble chandelier frame slow mornings beside the centuries-old oak.

A Lake Minnetonka primary suite becomes a restorative retreat, honoring decades of family life while creating space for quiet mornings, meaningful work, and the next chapter ahead. Layered crown molding and cream paneling reveal the suite’s quiet craftsmanship, turning a simple architectural transition into a refined detail worth noticing.

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

Transforming this long-standing home on Bradgate Rd required more than a simple update—it called for a careful balance between renewal, structure, and respect for what was already there. The existing brick bungalow had strong bones, but the exterior was deteriorating, the carport was underutilized, and key interior spaces no longer supported the homeowners’ needs. Having lived in the home for decades, the goal wasn’t to start over—it was to rework the home into a more functional, comfortable space that could support the years ahead. The scope included a full exterior masonry refresh, where the front layer of brick was removed and replaced while maintaining the integrity of the original structure. The carport was fully enclosed and integrated into the home as a garage, and a new roof tied everything together with consistent detailing and long-term performance in mind. Inside, the layout was carefully reworked to introduce a new primary ensuite and completely renovate the main bathroom. Plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems were updated throughout, with a focus on accessibility, ease of use, and everyday comfort. The result is a home that feels both familiar and elevated—where thoughtful construction and refined design come together to support long-term living without compromising character.
