Nestled along Minnehaha Creek, Stillwell stands as a rare example of architectural proportion, timeless craftsmanship, and thoughtful stewardship. While many nearby lots have been overtaken by oversized new builds, this 1940 residence remains perfectly scaled to its site, exuding balance and quality.
Each successive owner has honored its character through meticulous renovations, ensuring the home continues to feel both enduring and modern.
Quartersawn Design Build executed a top to bottom remodel in 2023 bringing impeccable taste and quality to the design and finishes. The main floor has been reimagined for light and flow, transforming what was once a closed-off entry into an inviting, open plan with defined spaces for living.
At its center, the kitchen anchors the home - warm, functional, and designed for connection, complete with custom cabinetry, double pantries, upgraded appliances, and versatile gathering spaces. Upstairs, four bedrooms and renovated baths provide abundant comfort, while the primary suite offers abundant storage and a quiet retreat.
Beyond the main living areas, the home offers a wealth of flexible spaces from a fully finished lower level ideal for movie nights and guest accommodations, to a span-crete recreation space with a golf simulator and capacity for a full gym.
Outdoors, a maintenance-free yard shaded by mature trees sets the stage for summer gatherings, while a studio above the garage offers privacy for work, wellness, or creative pursuits. Paired with extensive mechanical upgrades, including dual high-efficiency furnaces and two tankless water heaters, Stillwell combines heritage and modernity in one of Edina’s most quietly remarkable settings.
