Rebuilding Dreams

Compiled by Cyd Haynes

This whole-house remodel is a perfect example of re-creating a home for a family who doesn’t want to leave the area. The tiny, 800-square-foot rambler blossomed into a traditionally inspired, 2,300-square-foot, four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath, two-story home. With an emphasis on family space, this remodel fits the new homeowners and complements the existing Edina neighborhood.
