This stunning shingle-style beach house is the work of Swan Architecture, nestled on Lake Minnetonka, an inland lake just outside Minneapolis, Minnesota. Incredible sunsets over the lake attracted the homeowners to this beautiful property. Additionally, childhood memories of summers spent at a lakeside cottage inspired the design of this home. The finished product is a playful, comfortable, and classic shingle-style lakeside retreat for the enjoyment of an active family.
This lake house features open yet architecturally defined main-level living spaces, optimal lake views, sun exposure, and circulation between indoor and outdoor spaces. Additional highlights include a pool terrace with a fire pit and a quaint accessory pool house for outdoor entertaining. Continue below to see the rest of this gorgeous home tour…
