Art Meets Nature

Parkwood Knolls | Edina

Set on an extraordinary 4.4 acre site framed by woods and water, 5152 Schaefer Road is approached by a meandering private drive.

The house and grounds reflect the design collaboration of Tom Meyer, MS&R principal architect, and Herb Baldwin, co-founder of the University of Minnesota's School of Landscape Architecture, who gracefully merged the architecture with the inherent beauty of the setting. In this AIA Honor Award-winning residence, a sophisticated modern aesthetic draws on Asian and Prairie Style themes to create a warm and timeless family home.

Well-ordered interior spaces are warmed and enriched by the creative use of diverse materials and design detail, while varying elevations and juxtaposed ceiling heights provide an engaging variety of experiences. Over one hundred extruded aluminum, triple paned European H-windows welcome abundant light and open views of woods, pond and wildlife. Superior materials and workmanship are evident in every detail.

The grounds are enhanced by a stunning pool with expansive granite terracing, anchored by a generously sized gazebo and adjoining pergola. Additional exterior elements include a shaded oriental garden with dry creek bed, extensive decks and terraces, annual and perennial gardens, screened porch and integrated landscape lighting.

An exceptional Edina location.
