Located on a picturesque setting on Lake Minnetonka, this lakefront home masterfully balances contemporary and traditional sentiments, striving not to design to either extreme. With team collaboration intentions to combine both form and function — and an eye on simple, beautiful and comfortable solutions, this relaxed elegant design approach honors lakeside living that permeates the residence. This Streeter home also blends in beautifully with surrounding classic lake homes that are reminiscent of timeless architecture and craftsmanship found in Europe and Nantucket.

Built by L. Cramer and Architect Kathy Alexander, Brandi was excited to design this charming new build on Lake Minnetonka. Situated on a narrow lot with unparalleled lake access, this project was all about maximizing every last inch of square footage! There are no formal spaces in this home; every finish was carefully considered and needed to be functional, durable, and family-friendly. The interior reflects the relaxed, calm pace of lake life. Soft lighting, warm tones, and bright natural colors all add to the sense of peace and understated elegance. The heart of the main floor is the cozy, connected great room. Design highlights include the glass and cable rail wine storage, reclaimed wood beams, large windows, a centerpiece kitchen island and range hood, and a hidden prep kitchen for hosting with ease. Brandi enjoyed helping this lovely family make the most of their beautiful home and its gorgeous setting!
