This beautiful waterfront cottage was designed by Ron Brenner Architects in collaboration with Kyle Hunt & Partners, nestled along Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. Built on a challenging, narrow lake-front site, this elegant cottage was designed to take in grand views of Lake Minnetonka while maintaining an intimate atmosphere.

Height restrictions allowed for unique gabled rooflines and cozy upper-level interior spaces while shingle siding provides a timeless quality. With a clean, refined, contemporary interior, this home was designed for gathering.

What We Love: This lovely cottage offers warm and inviting living spaces and an exterior facade that provides attractive curb appeal. We are loving every aspect of this home’s design, from the expansive windows that bring the outdoors inside to the harmonious blend of materials and textures. This dwelling is a testament to the seamless integration of comfort, style, and splendor that lakeside living has to offer.
