Discover The Home That Loves You Back

English Country Chic Meets Modern Luxury Artisan Tour | Gonyea Custom Homes | Rolling Green, Edina 5 Bedrooms | 7 Baths | 8,037 Finished Sq. Ft. Some homes impress you with their size, others with personality. This one does both. Gonyea Custom Homes built something refreshingly different in Edina's Rolling Green neighborhood. Think English country charm with a modern attitude. Sophisticated, a little playful, unpredictable. A modern home with a little English country soul. No gray-on-gray monotony. This house has personality. Rich, moody colors, warm brown toned wood, elegant metallic accents, and beautifully layered textures. Statement wallpapers and patterned tiles add personality without overwhelming the architecture. It’s a home with character, not another exercise in white walls and gray floors. Graceful arches soften the contemporary lines, soaring ceilings create drama, and a spectacular staircase framed by floor-to-ceiling windows brings the outdoors in. Beauty is only half the story. The chef's kitchen includes a scullery and walk-in pantry, because even the most beautiful kitchen needs a place to hide pots and pans. A private library overlooks the dramatic two-story great room, while gathering spaces on all three levels offer room for entertaining, relaxing, or finding peace and quiet. The lower level is designed for recreation and entertaining, making this a home that lives as beautifully as it looks. Something I always appreciate: sustainability hasn't been abandoned in the pursuit of luxury. Energy-efficient appliances and thoughtful building choices brings performance to beautiful design. Luxury doesn't have to be cold, formal, or predictable. This home has a certain English country soul, dressed for the 21st century. Chic without being stuffy. Grand without losing its warmth. If you're considering building a custom home, let's take a closer look at what makes great design more than just a pretty picture.

Single-Level Living Without Giving Up Comfort, Style, or Efficiency 533 Tulare Way, Newport If your next home needs to be easier to live in—not smaller on lifestyle—take a look at this one. M/I Homes is one of my favorite builders because they understand that buyers want more than a pretty floor plan. They want comfort, efficiency, thoughtful design, and lower operating costs. The Willow is a 1,892-square-foot villa-style home designed entirely around single- level living. You’ll find 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a den tucked into the center of the home— perfect for a home office, reading room, or flex space. The open kitchen, dining, and living areas make the home feel spacious without wasting square footage. The 15' x 20' family room includes an electric fireplace for warmth and atmosphere without the maintenance of a traditional fireplace. The owner’s suite sits privately behind the living area with a spa-like bath, while the second bedroom gives guests their own comfortable space. Outside, there’s an open patio for morning coffee or summer evenings, plus a double- deep tandem garage for extra parking, storage, bikes, tools, or hobbies. And this is where M/I Homes stands apart: they have a strong track record of building energy-efficient homes, including homes with impressive HERS ratings. That can mean better comfort, fewer drafts, and lower energy use for years to come. Single-level. Energy-conscious. Easy to maintain. Easy to live in. And there are builder incentives available through the end of October. If you’ve been looking for a home that makes everyday living simpler, 533 Tulare Way deserves a look. #newhomes #newconstructionmn #mnrealtor #twincitieshomes #twincitiesrealestate

Need five bedrooms without giving up efficiency—or blowing up the budget? Welcome to 578 Sienna Drive in Watertown, a brand-new home with room for real life. You get 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a 4-car garage and 2,722 finished square feet—with a floor plan designed for families who need space now and flexibility later. The main level feels open, bright and easy to live in, with a quartz kitchen, stainless steel appliances, electric fireplace and a practical mudroom right off the garage. And that fifth bedroom? Make it a guest room, home office, playroom or whatever your life needs next. The unfinished lower level is another smart move: it helps keep the purchase price in check today while giving you room to add more finished space later. But what really gets my attention is what’s behind the walls. With a HERS score at 41 is exceptional, an electric on-demand water heater and a high-efficiency furnace, this home is designed to use less energy while delivering comfort year-round. Xcel Energy home test estimates a 15.5% reduction on electric bills, and 32.8% on gas. More bedrooms. Better performance. Room to grow. Want to see how it feels in person? Let’s go take a look. #hometour #newhome #newconstruction #sustainablehome #realtor #mnhomes #mnrealtor #HERscore

Want to Know How Efficient a Home Really Is? Test It. At last week’s EEBA Summit, I had the pleasure of meeting Anna Koosman of Phius Alliance Minnesota. Phius represents one of the most rigorous standards in high-performance building. It moves beyond promises and product lists to examine how a home actually performs—its airtightness, insulation, ventilation, comfort and energy use. On November 12, Phius Alliance Minnesota is offering a free half-day High-Performance Builder Training at The Energy Conservatory in Oakdale. This is where the rubber meets the road—or, more accurately, where the blower door meets the front door. Builders will learn how testing verifies the quality of their work. Buyers will better understand what ratings and performance numbers actually mean. Because “energy efficient” isn't a marketing phrase. It is be measurable.
