This new home sits comfortably along
a street of older houses in Linden
Hills. The home is designed for
family living with a generous mudroom
and an informal open kitchen, family
room, and dining room. Four bedrooms
and a laundry room are tucked up under
the roof, allowing all the space needed for
a family of five but steering clear of an
imposing mass on the exterior. The home
has the level of detail that we take for
granted in older homes and is a successful
example of how to infill a modern family
home into an old neighborhood.
