Tones of Blue on Lake Minnetonka

May 19, 2026

Set along the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka, The Minnetonka Dutch Colonial is a thoughtfully renovated lake home that honors its historic character while embracing modern living. The transformation touched nearly every corner of the property, inside and out, yet the home never loses the timeless charm that makes a Dutch Colonial style residence feel warm, familiar, and enduring.

From the moment you arrive, the renovated exterior creates a striking first impression. Updated architectural details, refreshed materials, and carefully considered landscaping elevate the curb appeal while complementing the natural beauty of the lakeside setting. On the water-facing side of the home, expansive views of the lake become part of the design itself, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

Inside, the renovation focused on creating cohesion throughout the home. Each room was redesigned with intentional flow, blending classic details with fresh finishes and functional spaces designed for modern family life. Soft blue tones are woven throughout the interiors, subtly reflecting the colors of the lake and sky. These calming hues create continuity from room to room while reinforcing the home’s connection to its surroundings.

The Minnetonka Dutch Colonial was designed to be both welcoming and restorative. Multiple gathering spaces make entertaining effortless, whether hosting large family celebrations, holiday weekends, or overnight guests. At the same time, quieter spaces throughout the home allow for moments of relaxation and retreat, offering balance between connection and comfort. For longevity in mind, a main level Owner’s Suite is seamlessly added with all the amenities for aging-in-place. 

The result is a lake home that feels elevated yet approachable, a complete transformation that respects the home’s history while creating a timeless space for years to come.

The Minnetonka Dutch Cononial was built by Edgerton & Company.
