This timeless waterfront home was designed by Brickhouse Architects in collaboration with John Kraemer & Sons, nestled on Lake Minnetonka in Wayzata, Hennepin County, Minnesota. This lakefront home is all about classic, timeless design, featuring glass chandeliers, green accent pieces, and checkered ceramic tile that offsets rift-cut white oak floors throughout.

The homeowners are a globe-trotting couple who wished to have a home where they could kick off their shoes and relax upon arrival. Relaxation was key for the design of this home, however since the owners love to entertain just as often as they travel, the design also needed to accommodate for hosting in style.

Creating a home with a timeless aesthetic that would not require many future updates was high on the homeowner’s wish list. To accomplish this style, living spaces should be decorated with classic finishes and furnishings and accented with personal touches. Whether your personal style is rustic, glamorous, or even whimsical, decorating your home with art, fabrics, rugs, and accessories are a great way to add personality and character.

Traditional character and charm have been brought into this newly developed home through finishes and millwork. To create an inviting and timeless feel, the designer added custom wall paneling, warm woods, statement fixtures, and even the classic black and white tile floors. The main objective was to create a home that felt comfortable for hosts and guests alike.
