This gorgeous Georgian Colonial-style home was designed by Murphy & Co Design in collaboration with Streeter Custom Builder, located in Edina, Minnesota. Set amidst a backdrop of majestic oaks and pines, this residence was expertly designed and crafted with clapboard siding, flower boxes, and highly detailed ornamentation such as the elaborate dentil frieze, classical over-window details, and a rounded Doric porch.

What We Love: This beautiful home was designed to maximize its site while providing an indoor/outdoor living experience throughout. The exterior offers a casual aesthetic with a black and white palette and pops of color with the flower boxes around the windows. Inside, the light-filled living spaces are elegant yet inviting with idyllic views of nature captured through large windows.
