This three-generation estate on White Bear Lake, Minnesota was transformed to honor family, nostalgia, and lakeside living. The original exterior walls and floor joists were retained, with every space carefully planned to meet functional and aesthetic goals.
A new upper level includes a primary bedroom with lake views, a sleeping porch, second-floor laundry, and an elevator for accessibility. The lower level balances children’s bedrooms with family gathering spaces. Soaring ceilings, open layouts, and expansive windows bring natural light and water views throughout the home.
Thoughtful details, durable finishes, and meticulous craftsmanship create a residence that blends modern comfort with timeless design. The result is a home that embraces its lakeside setting while providing a warm, inviting space for family life for generations to come.
It’s your dream home, choose your builder carefully.
