Fox Homes, LLC
6704 Point Drive, Edina MN
R5
This 1950s lake home went through a large renovation in the 1980s and is now completely reimagined in 2021! The living area ceilings were all vaulted — soaring to 16 feet. The back of the home is now nearly all glass to capture the panoramic lake views, and the forgotten pool was totally revived. The previous home had one bedroom on the 3,500-square-foot main level, which didn’t work for this family of four. The homeowners went with an eclectic vibe throughout the home with an artisan brass hood vent, custom wood cabinets and doors, a free-floating staircase, and a custom Malm fireplace.
