Cottage Charm
Personality to spare gives Edina rambler distinction
The sweeping approach to this home in the Rolling Hills neighborhood of Edina might put visitors in mind of an English estate—that is, until they spot the charming cottage nestled into lush landscaping and mature woods at the top of the hill. The 6,370-square-foot home replaced a rambler that had been on the site since the 1960s, says Greg Narr, owner of Narr Construction. The home’s empty-nester design features a sumptuous owners’ suite and one additional main-floor bedroom, expressly reserved for an elderly parent’s frequent stays. Three additional bedrooms on the lower level make the house perfect for hosting extended family. Adults and grandkids alike will have easy access to the game center and glass-walled exercise room.
The main level is made for entertaining, with an open great room and kitchen that flows naturally into the dramatic dining room. After dinner, the three-plus season porch offers the perfect setting for late night chats. —C.L.
