Indianhead Lake Modern Redux

Indian Head Lake | Edina

Set atop a wooded hillside on the shores of Edina's Indianhead Lake, this extraordinary contemporary has been redesigned to optimize its natural setting.

Renovated in 2008-09 by Streeter & Associates/ALTUS Architecture+Design, natural materials used throughout include imported polished travertine tiles, Brazilian teak/cumuro stair risers and cabinetry accents, rift sawn oak cabinetry, hardwood maple floors, and maple library. Lighting, both natural and by design, evident in the structural use of glass, skylights and designer fixtures.

Vaulted public rooms in the main level's open floorplan offer ease of flow, and accentuate exterior views. The heart of the home is the well-appointed professional kitchen and family room which feature multiple dining, gathering and sitting areas. Private quarters for the family are housed in the home's upper level, featuring four comfortably-sized bedrooms, new laundry. Each of the secondary bedrooms has large closets and built-in study areas. The master bedroom rivals top end resort suites, offering a generous bedroom with lakeside sitting area, private deck overlooking the lake and pool area, plus a luxurious travertine master bath complete with an elevated deep soaking tub, separate shower, private water closet, luxury-height dual sink vanity, cosmetic vanity, and large walk-in closet/dressing room.

The walkout lower level features an amusement room, exercise room, full kitchen, fifth bedroom, three-quarter bath, walk-in cedar closet, and laundry room. Multiple walkouts connect to wooded garden paths, terraced gardens and outdoor patios. All three living levels feature impressive panoramic lake views. The gated pool area features terraced garden beds with boulder retaining walls, and a woodland path leads down to the rear yard with shoreline that also features a private dock.
