A historic three-acre country estate in Minnesota underwent a major renovation to reveal and enhance its latent potential. The remodel introduced a new floor plan and reworked interiors to provide a contemporary aesthetic and improved circulation. The design balances preservation of the estate’s historic qualities with modern living requirements for a young California family. Spatial relationships were reorganized to create a more open, flowing layout that supports family life and entertaining. Material choices and interior details emphasize clean lines and current finishes while respecting the property's character and landscape. Landscape connections and circulation strategies integrate the house with its grounds while updating utilities and amenities to contemporary standards.
