Built in 1947 on a corner lot in Wayzata, this story-and-a-half cottage had good bones but needed real updating — the kind of home where the charm was there, but the styling and details had fallen behind. Rather than start over, the goal was a remodel that brought the whole house up to date while staying true to its cottage character.

JN Built handled the architectural side directly, providing the simple design work the project called for without bringing in a separate architect — a straightforward scope that matched the scale of the home. At 3,100 square feet, the result is a home that reads as classic Wayzata cottage from the outside, updated room by room on the inside to work for how the homeowners actually live today.
