100-year-old Minnesota home gets a makeover with warm vintage details

MA Peterson Designbuild together with Brown Cow Design has beautifully renovated this 100-year-old home located in Tangletown, a neighborhood in the Southwest community of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was significant to the homeowners that the remodel didn’t feel “brand new” but instead relished in its historic charm while bringing forth a modern layout.

From daytime warmth to nighttime sophistication, this dwelling features exquisitely restored barnwood flooring, handcrafted kitchen tiles, a no-mortar fireplace encompassing the wall, and so much more. Take the tour of the rest of this gorgeous home renovation project below…

An open main layout, updated mechanics, and an expanded garage modernize this home for today’s needs while fitting the homeowners’ historic, eclectic style and authenticity. The remodel features multiple areas for seamless entertaining, from daytime warmth to nighttime sophistication.

Crowning the fireplace is ledge stone, complementing the European-inspired aesthetic of the residence. The overhead Dressage Round Chandelier designed by Suzanne Kasler was sourced from Visual Comfort & Co.

What We Love: This 100-year-old home features thoughtful attention to detail throughout, from the material selections to the vintage finds. There are so many memorable details in this home, from the gorgeous kitchen with its green zellige backsplash tile to the dining room with its vintage mantel and the living room with the textural stone accent wall. The sunroom is also a wonderful space, idyllic for the wintertime blues to have a light-filled space to relax and enjoy good conversation.

Well done. Beautifully done. Warm and logical. I like the addition of the floor plan and drawings with furniture. Helps with the visualization of the flow which is often overlooked.
