Standing proudly since before Minnesota achieved statehood, this 163-year-old Greek Revival home carries a rich legacy that the homeowners were committed to honoring. The renovations was guided by a deep respect for its history, blending preservation with carefully considered updates for modern family living. Great attention was devoted to improving insulation and ventilation, ensuring the home is as comfortable and energy-efficient as it is beautiful. Wherever possible, original materials were meticulously reused, and all new architectural elements were designed to align with the home’s 19th-century character. Thoughtful modern enhancements include a lower-level media room, a welcoming rear foyer, an expansive chef’s kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine room, and twin porches that invite connection to the outdoors. The result is a seamless integration of contemporary convenience and historic authenticity—preserving the heritage of one of Minnesota’s architectural treasures while preparing it for many more generations to come.
