Even though the kitchen was arge, it wasn t aid out we. In addition, it was dated, we coud never seat more than six comfortaby around the dinner tabe, and it had a path through the aundry room to a bathroom without a sink. It was time for a major overhau. By reconfiguring the existing space, we now have a show-stopping (yet very practica) kitchen that s bright and contemporary, with a heated poished-concrete foor. There s a rea haf-bath, unique storage features, a cozy buitin booth, a firepace, a new sitting area, and a separate aundry area.

As newyweds, we wanted a singe-famiy home, but as contemporary design in our beoved Bryn Mawr neighborhood was rare, we decided to renovate rather than move, and transformed it into our dream house. The master suite boasts a uxurious, customized wak-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with a giant wak-in shower with twin rain shower heads. The house aso has an entertainer s kitchen with doube gas ovens, a six-burner stove and a puout pantry, a bar with a wine fridge and a custom entertainment unit with in-ceiing speakers.

Our home is a two-story stucco Tudor with arge archways, numerous windows, white oak foors, modings and buit in cabinets. We purchased the house for its cassic fee and arge main eve iving area. However, the kitchen needed a fu remode to provide more counter space and eiminate a tight access wakway. The home s cassic detais were brought into the design of kitchen modings, cabinets and new archway. A custom-designed ight fixture and gass pane cabinet doors brighten the space. Appiance ocations were changed for a great setup for cooking. We updated other parts of the home, and created a pan for future additiona iving space and a main eve bath. A smaer radiator gave us more sunroom. Od drains in our upstairs bathroom and overhead heating pipes in the basement were aso repaced. After 24 years in a 1913 house with a 1970s kitchen, it was we past time for an update. The kitchen was totay gutted, a wa between the kitchen and dining room was removed, and significant structura deficiencies were corrected. We ended up with a beautifuy redesigned kitchen that s a joy to use, a new bathroom on the main foor, an updated rear entrance and stairway to the basement, and a partiay finished basement incuding a dog shower. The carpentry work is amazing, the new wood trim is neary indistinguishabe from the 100-year-od work.

We wanted a pace that our two girs coud hang out with their friends and a space for our famiy to expore our many artistic endeavors, ike theatre, dance, and scrapbooking. We started by brainstorming crazy ideas with Otogawa-Ansche. One of the crazy ideas was a stage and a secret door, both of which are now reaities. Not ony does the spacious famiy room incude a stage, but we aso have a costume/prop coset, abundant storage for art suppies, games, and books, a buit-in scrapbooking desk and a bathroom with an amazing array of tie coors.

8 8 Minneapois & Saint Pau Home Tour Hiawatha Howe th Ave. S Accessory Dweing Unit (ADU) Stuart and Caro Hazard When we bought our 1924 house in 2012, it had two significant drawbacks: no comfortabe guest space, and a garage that had the structura integrity of a cardboard box. When we sod our home in Cambridge and moved here permanenty in 2015, we decided to sove the two probems at once, and, since Minneapois had approved the construction of ADUs in 2014, we tore down the origina garage and repaced it with this structure which combines a two-car garage with a compete apartment of approximatey 400 square feet. Presented by RRR Construction th Ave. S Bungaow Bi Bureson and Mariann Bentz We oved our itte 1½-story 1927 bungaow, from the arches to the hardwood foors, and from the oak woodwork to the stone firepace. We especiay oved our neighborhood and the peope in it. Sti, the house we d had for 25 years was cosing in on us. At ess than a thousand square feet, it was no bigger than a decent two-bedroom apartment. We decided it was time to add a second foor. For the outside, we started with this simpe mission: the house shoud ook ike it has aways been this way. On the inside, we wanted modern spaciousness but appropriate detais, from oak foors to retro tie in the bath, to big sash windows to matching baseboards. Now we have the house we ve aways wanted in the neighborhood we never want to eave. Presented by SALA Architects Pau Hannan, and Boyer Buiding Corporation

We worked with Brownsmith to buid a modern farmhouse a home we coud grow od in. The house is bocks from the Seward Co-op and up the hi from the Mississippi. It s our urban oasis.

We aso wanted to continue our efforts to institute as much energy efficiency and green technoogy as we coud. Working with Buck Brothers Construction and their designer, Judy Kurtz, we came up with a design to add bed and bathroom space to the second foor with kitchen, famiy room, and rear entry space beow. Whie we carefuy maintained the origina character and detaiing of the home, we brought its efficiency into the 21st century minimizing the additiona energy use of our new space and earning an Energy Fit Home certification as a reward. We re excited to have you visit our traditiona home that embraces the future! Presented by Buck Brothers Construction This previous 1½-story has been brought back to ife with a compete modern transformation. Though most construction is new, the ayout takes advantage of the existing footprint. It s now 1,600 finished square feet (amost haf of which was gained in the upper-eve addition). The thoughtfuy designed compact uppereve foor pan accommodates a master suite, a chid s bedroom, a guest bedroom, a fu bath and aundry. Reworking the main-eve spaces, adding arge windows and gass patio doors on both sides of the iving/dining space, enhanced the open concept within a modest amount of space by expanding sightines. Aso on the main eve are an encosed powder room and mud room. Overa, a great exampe of how to fit the modern-day amenities and aesthetics into a conventiona urban setting. After 15 months seeking a singe-famiy home with potentia for main-foor iving, we purchased this estate home in Apri We moved in to its 70s orange shag carpet, drapes and paint. The next many months were spent panning and designing the home to meet our true needs. We enjoy cooking and entertaining for 12 peope to 100s. We aso needed the right space for our dogs to safey occupy whie out and in. The renovation gave us a main foor owners suite, a arge, window-it iving room. The dining room, serving bar and kitchen are open areas. The garage entry functions for aundry, wak-in coset, dog care and exit to yard. Next steps: Paint the exterior and finish the wakout eve for guests to have the uxury of their own space.

We decided to add on to our home rather than move to a arger house, as we reay wanted to stay in our wonderfu neighborhood. We wanted to add a famiy room, but ended up with a much more comprehensivey designed pan that gave us a mud room, bigger kitchen, and upstairs bedroom and bath as we. Sunrise Design created the pan and competed the project. We are very peased with the resuts. The new construction seamessy foows the origina ines of the home, and there is aso a very cute porch on the back. Most of a, we ove our new space, kids and parents have room to roam cramped feeing soved! Presented by Sunrise Design & Construction 95 Mackubin St Victorian Harvey Sherman (right) and the Buiding Arts Team The tota remode of 95 Mackubin St. in Saint Pau, an 1883 pattern-book Victorian house, was undertaken with the goa of making it the most sustainabe remode ever done in the Twin Cities. I beieve we have succeeded. We now have a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rating of 53, which means it is 50 percent more energy efficient than a standard new home and 80 percent more efficient than the average resae home. Ninety percent of deconstructed materias such as removed interior and exterior finishes, windows, and doors were reused or recyced. Geotherma heating and cooing was instaed, as were new windows; and the house was insuated with a combination of cosed-ce foam and dense-pack ceuose. The house, incuding a beautifu new front porch, is now totay compete, and a showcase for how to give another century of ife to an oder home. Pease come see this beautifu exampe of sustainabe renovation combined with stunning design.

It s now a very distinctive house known beyond these borders for its red siding and siver stee roof. We buit because we re committed to Saint Pau, and excited to be part of the revitaization in the Litte Bohemia West 7th community. Owner-designed and buit by a oca custom-home buider, the open foor pan of the main foor gives us the suggestion of cozy nooks. Whie there are ampe windows, there s aso good wa space for art and memorabiia. We have finishabe space in the basement. The garage is awesome, and we hope to finish some yard amenities in time for the Tour. 353 Goodrich Ave. 32 Buit 1853 Wren Waker Robbins and Heather Robbins Our house (which we ve named Ting, or sacred vesse ) has a ong and varied history. Records indicate John Parker buit the house in 1853; Mrs. Rebecca M. Parker (mother of Chares Parker) resided here in In the 1980s, the house was abandoned, eft empty for many years, then purchased by a teacher in the eary 90s who rehabbed it, insuated, and rewired the house, but who aso removed many of the origina touches. We purchased Ting in ate 2010 and have spent the ast five years istening to its spirit and finding ways to negotiate its desires (the house has strong opinions) with our own ecectic/industria/western aesthetic. We do our own work and are sti mid-renovation; so far, we ve restored architectura detais, rebuit the iving room, kitchen, and the front and back porch. 41 Dougas St /2016 Charie Browning Unti ast September, this 800-square-foot home buit in 1874 sat vacant at 447 Smith Ave., where it was moved in Unabe to use it, the former owner donated the house to the Preservation Aiance of Minnesota (PAM), committed to moving it and finding a preservation-minded deveoper. After seing it to Charie s Anges for eventua resae, PAM heped secure funding from Saint Pau Housing and Redeveopment Authority (HRA) s Inspiring Communities Program. The program assists with vaue gap financing HRA-owned property. One of those ots, 41 Dougas St., was just a few bocks away and was the perfect spot for the cottage. Jepsen, Inc. managed the move, which drew crowds from dozens of neighbors eager to see the itte house cruise across West 7th Street. Rehab is underway, with an addition that brings it to 1,200 square feet a on one eve. 150 Morton St. E Working Man s Victorian Eric and Lisa Thurstin The back yard had itte usabe space due to a steep incine up to the aey; but Southern Living magazine provided inspiration, and a andside from Wabasha Buffs provided free natura imestone bocks, so we buit a two-eve garden wa with useabe space for both gardening and reaxing. A raised garden and herb container are maintained with rain barres. A pergoa adds charm. Inside, sma projects are bringing the historica fee back to our 1886 house incuding remova of the popcorn ceiing, and instaation of antique ighting/ hardware, a custom bookcase and French doors to the music room. We make significant efforts to minimize the environmenta impact by using reused/savaged fixtures and buiding materias. Come see our home on a hi with backyard retreat.

Neighborhood Spotight: Aging Neighborhoods Young Again Frogtown and Litte Bohemia The aging inner ring is home to many peope even those who coud afford to ive esewhere. There is a vitaity here that is unmatched anywhere ese in the Twin Cities Many residents have painstakingy organized their areas in order to activey participate in decision making that might affect them. These words, written in 1983 by David Lanegran and Judith Martin in Where We Live: The Residentia Districts of Minneapois and Saint Pau ring true even three decades ater. Most of the districts in this zone were deveoped to house workers empoyed by the rairoads, or by industries dependent on rai traffic, they wrote. In Saint Pau s Frogtown, Minnesota s first successfu ocomotive run occurred on the Saint Pau and Pacific Raiway (now BNSF) tracks just north of the neighborhood in Bounded by University Avenue on the south, Burington Northern Rairoad to the north, Lexington Ave. on the west and Hwy. 35E to the east, Frogtown has four homes on the Minneapois & Saint Pau Home Tour (see pages 20 21). Frogtown s popuation since June 2014 has seen the benefits of being abe to wak to the modern transportation ine. In the West 7th area, the Schmidt Brewery was the big empoyer. A neighborhood within this broad section of Saint Pau, caed Litte Bohemia, has three homes on the Tour, highighted on this page. Both of these communities, and others in the city, have benefited in recent years from the Inspiring Communities Program of the City of Saint Pau, assisting with financing and seing homes rehabiitated to U.S. Environmenta Protection Agency s Energy Star standards. This coud mean high-quaity insuation, energy-efficient appiances weather seaing, new windows or a new roof, according to the City of Saint Pau s website. Higher efficiency standards transate to ower monthy energy bis, no upfront maintenance and an overa cost savings for the home owner. Other resources avaiabe to the neighborhoods have incuded the interest of the Preservation Aiance of Minnesota in saving specific historic structures such as the Stone Saoon and the house moved from its site to 41 Dougas, and neighborhood preservation resources of Historic Saint Pau. Frogtown Caro Carey, executive director of Historic Saint Pau, has been known to poke around savage yards for just the right eaded-gass repacement window or porch coumn in the interest of Preserve Frogtown, a partnership with the Frogtown Neighborhood Association. Historic Saint Pau has aso embarked on a heritage-conservation effort aong the Green Line, coecting information about properties and deveoping strategies for preservation and reuse. More information is avaiabe at www. historicsaintpau.org, frogtownmn.org and nwhomepartners.org (Neighborworks Home Partners is the housing deveopment organization serving Frogtown in partnership with Greater Frogtown Community Deveopment Corporation).

New residents have been wecomed into this dynamic neighborhood; a new resident of one of the Inspiring Communities homes featured on an earier Home Tour is now serving as the neighborhood association s president. Ceebrating West 7th s roots as a argey German community that buit up around the brewery, visitors are urged to come back for GermanFest, June on the grounds of the Schmidt Artist Lofts, 876 and 900 West 7th St. More info is at germanfestmn.org.

The Mississippi Vaey serves as a roughy three-mie doorstep before it turns southward, curving around Homan fied just beow the site. The home has a history of being moved approximatey 100 yards from its origina ocation in The interior has been ovingy restored and redone with a variety of woods and finishes. The interior represents a stunning adaptation of a period home originay finished without a bit of crown mouding, which now graces every first-foor room. The owners ongterm goa has been to open a B&B, and they have named the property Sans Adieu (with apoogies to Citizen Kane. ) We purchased this Category 1 HUD home in Athough it ooked chaenging, we fe in ove with the origina woodwork and kitchen cabinets. Staying true to its Victorian roots, we made necessary repairs and infrastructure updates. Robyn brought her ecectic fair to the house with design eements ranging from rich, bod and bright Victorian coors to a wapapered kitchen ceiing. Our home can be easiy ocated because of the burgundy steps eading up from the sidewak and our brightbue front door. Rehabbing our home has been a true abor of ove. With occasiona hep from friends, we have done a of the work ourseves, except for the crown mouding and items requiring a permit. With the interior about 95 percent compete, you can check out our progress at pacific1902.bogspot.com. Buit in 1913, this post-victorian, pre-arts and Crafts, two-story with wakup attic had everything I coud have hoped for: beautifu hardwood, stained gass, dining room with bay window, intact pantry, and back deck. The home had been beautifuy preserved. I purchased it in May I am the second owner of the home, which I think expains how we preserved it was, and sti is. There hasn t been a need for many renovations; this has been a preservation project. However, it was aways my desire to finish off the attic and make it a ivabe space. We competed this project ony five years ago, and we ca it our Sanctuary. Our 1909 Foursquare Craftsman had a major renewa in 2004 undertaken by a group of the neighbors, incuding a refurbished kitchen and a new downstairs bath. Even through its checkered past, no one had painted over its extensive woodwork. In the ten years we ve been here, we ve added some stained gass, most recenty had the attic redone as a bedroom, and put a privacy fence around the backyard. Mississippi Market was buit next door so we can aways find a pace to borrow that proverbia cup of sugar. We appreciate our exceent neighbors, the diversity and growing strength of Dayton s Buff, being part of an historic district, our proximity to Metro State, and the convenient access to pubic transportation (present and potentia). Dayton s Buff 400 Bates Ave. 39 Buit 1888 Gary Rosenbaum I knew I wanted to ive on the East Side. The Reator gave me a ist of 160 homes and one was buit by Charie Brown!

This house shows the beauty in finding reused materias from Dumpsters and savage, with an eye for creative reuse specificay, the 140-year-od front doors, marbe sabs encosing a found Jacuzzi, enarged computer chip ayouts, and a baby grand piano.
