modern farmhouse exterior

Nelson Residential Design together with Zehnder Homes designed this timeless modern farmhouse nestled on a .65-acre woodsy property in Edina, an inviting suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Encompassing 5,244 square feet of living space, there are five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms in this luxurious residence.

The goal of this home was to seamlessly blend into a neighborhood characterized by older, modest homes. The solution was to design a new two-story residence with the appearance of a century-old white farmhouse. Continue below to see the rest of this spectacular home tour…
