A lovely waterfront cottage with peaceful views over Lake Minnetonka

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.
