A Newly Built Sanctuary

Character and craftsmanship are two things you can count on when Kathy Alexander and Urban Edge Homes are on the bill and this new residence on Blossom Ct. in Edina is no exception. The home's architectural story unfolds through its thoughtful details, blending modern comfort with elements that feel as ageless as they do upgraded.

 

For the exterior, the team chose an elegant traditional profile, its neutral tones blending harmoniously with the green landscape surrounding the property. They wanted the exterior to feel timeless and to go with the neighborhood,  like it has always belonged here. Inside, custom millwork, inspired by the clean lines of Scandinavian design, frames the thresholds, while high ceilings and dark hardwood floors ground the home in a sense of classic elegance. A sleek, modern scullery hidden behind integrated cabinetry in the kitchen epitomizes the home’s blend of beauty and practicality—designed to keep messes out of sight while entertaining.Who wouldn’t love that!

 

Natural wood plays a starring role throughout the residence, beginning with the statement entryway and into the living room with the custom fireplace that draws the eye upward to the home’s vaulted ceilings. White beams define the living room, adding structure to the open floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and porch area. In the kitchen, smooth countertops and custom cabinetry stand in perfect harmony with the warm wood tones for a clean look.

 

In the adjacent porch warm green tones and large windows create an organic feel opening into the connected backyard balcony. The design layers these styles intentionally, giving each room a sense of collected history while maintaining a fresh, modern aesthetic.

 

The master suite is a tranquil haven, framed by large windows that open up to the surrounding greenery, allowing the landscape to serve as part of the interior’s design. The design, while luxurious, speaks to an understated elegance that defines the entire home.

 

Downstairs, the lower level’s entertainment area offers a playful yet refined space. A custom golf simulator room is the centerpiece, balanced by a contemporary bar with clean lines and dark finishes. Large windows bring light into the space, reinforcing the connection between indoor and outdoor living, and a porch just beyond the family room provides the perfect spot for enjoying summer evenings.

 

The subtle interplay between past and present weaves the design together. The neutral architectural elements give the home a timeless backdrop, which allows the design to evolve with the family’s needs. This harmony is best expressed in the home’s ability to adapt to its surroundings and inhabitants, creating a space that feels both rooted in tradition and attuned to the future.

 

On Blossom Court, this home stands as more than just a new build—it is an evolution of architectural excellence, where modern design meets timeless craftsmanship, and every detail works together to create a home that feels deeply personal and enduring.
