South Minneapolis Home Addition

These homeowners loved the location of their South Minneapolis house, with its easy access to highways and the airport, short walking distance to numerous parks and restaurants, and cozy feel, tucked away in a cute residential area with a wonderful community of neighbors.

They didn’t mind the small overall size of the traditional center hall house, but reached a point where they needed more space to better accommodate their home lives and lifestyle, and since they didn’t want to leave the house or neighborhood, it made sense to invest in additional space right there.

A modern home addition on the back was the perfect solution. It created space for a spacious owner’s suite, a new kitchen, and an expanded basement (featuring a fun, new golf simulator)!

The previous porch space was reconfigured and expanded to create the new, large, sunny kitchen, and the original small kitchen area is now additional storage space, soon to become a butler pantry. With the addition of a spacious owner’s suite upstairs, the previous bedroom and bathroom can now serve as guest accommodations.  

The addition is just the right size that it accommodates all of their additional space needs, while flowing seamlessly into the existing home on all three levels. And, they didn’t even have to sacrifice too much yard space! 

This home will be on tour at the 2025 Parade of Homes Remodeler’s Tour.
