Wayzata Bay

This comprehensive first-floor renovation re imagines the home's layout to create a seamless balance of timeless design, modern functionality, and effortless entertaining while celebrating its exceptional lakefront setting on Wayzata Bay.

The project includes a complete redesign of the kitchen, living room, and dining room to establish an open, connected floor plan that maximizes natural light, enhances lake views, and improves circulation throughout the home. A new butler's pantry and walk-in pantry provide generous storage, expanded food preparation space, and support for entertaining while maintaining a clean and organized main kitchen.

The renovation also introduces a thoughtfully designed mudroom that serves as a functional transition from the exterior, incorporating custom mill work, ample storage, and durable finishes suited for an active lakeside lifestyle. A dedicated bar area creates an inviting destination for hosting family and guests, seamlessly connecting to the primary living spaces.

Additional improvements include the creation of a comfortable guest suite, a full guest bathroom, and a separate powder room, ensuring privacy and convenience for visitors while enhancing the home's overall functionality.

Throughout the project, careful attention is given to space planning, architectural detailing, custom cabinetry, lighting design, material selections, and finish coordination. Every design decision is intended to improve circulation, increase storage, strengthen the relationship between adjacent spaces, and elevate the home's character with timeless, lake-inspired interiors.

The result is a beautifully renovated first floor that offers improved flow, enhanced functionality, and sophisticated living spaces tailored to the lifestyle of a modern family while embracing the unique beauty of its Wayzata Bay waterfront location.
