Introducing Isles Modern: A Lakeside Retreat Like No Other – Available Now!
2863 Lake of the Isles E, Minneapolis
Nestled on the scenic shores of Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis, Isles Modern is a testament to the seamless fusion of modern design and nature’s beauty. Available immediately, this extraordinary home presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural excellence that embodies both elegance and functionality. Created in collaboration with PKA Architecture, Streeter Custom Builder, and Pella Windows, Isles Modern sets a new standard for lakeside living.
In Minnesota, lakes are more than just scenic backdrops—they’re a way of life. Our homes, lifestyles, and even our communities are shaped by their proximity to these natural wonders. The Isles Modern home encapsulates this philosophy by blending sophisticated simplicity with the grandeur of nature. Designed with the modern family in mind, this home offers the perfect balance of rural charm and the vibrancy of urban Minneapolis living.
Architect Tammy Angaran, who designed the home, explains, “The clients were looking for a space that would allow their grown family to come together in a setting that reflects both their love for the outdoors and their active urban lifestyle.” The result is a home that mirrors the open, airy feel of a loft while incorporating the natural beauty and tranquility that comes with living by the water.
Isles Modern is nestled on a uniquely narrow lot along the picturesque Lake of the Isles Parkway. The home strikes a delicate balance between modern design and the classic architectural style that defines the neighborhood. The neutral cream stucco exterior, paired with finely proportioned lines, ensures the home integrates effortlessly with its surroundings. A stunning cedar siding treatment adds a touch of warmth and texture, giving the facade a welcoming feel while maintaining a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic.
A central feature of Isles Modern is its innovative window design. With expansive Pella Architect Series – Contemporary windows, the home invites breathtaking views of Lake of the Isles while maintaining privacy. These floor-to-ceiling windows are a defining characteristic of the three-story home, creating a treehouse-like ambiance that brings the outdoors in. The result is an open, airy atmosphere that is both inviting and serene.
Emily Neubarth, Architectural Consultant at Pella, describes the windows as more than just a design feature. “The views transform with the seasons,” she says. “It’s like living in a constantly changing masterpiece, where every moment offers something new and beautiful.” The minimalist hardware and sleek, contemporary finishes of the Pella windows perfectly complement the modern style of the home, while also providing superior energy efficiency.
The layout of Isles Modern embraces the concept of a loft—open, flexible spaces that promote easy flow and connection. Built on a steep lot, the home utilizes its unique topography to create a seamless transition from room to room. The central kitchen, which is flanked by dining and living areas, opens up to panoramic vistas of the lake, allowing nature to become an integral part of the living experience. Sliding glass doors further enhance this connection to the outdoors, leading to a spacious patio ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing and taking in the surroundings.
The owners’ suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a private balcony overlooking the lake. Two thoughtfully designed guest bedrooms provide ample space and comfort for family and friends. With 4,000 square feet of living space, every inch of this home is designed with efficiency and functionality in mind.
The interior design of Isles Modern is as thoughtfully crafted as its exterior. The owners partnered with Roam Furniture & Lighting to create a minimalist yet welcoming atmosphere. The home’s material palette—featuring wood, concrete, and blackened steel—creates a harmonious backdrop for the homeowners’ art collection while allowing architectural features to shine. The cabinetry and staircase are integral to the design, with each piece carefully chosen to embody the loft character that defines the space.
One of the standout features of Isles Modern is the dramatic staircase. Not only does it serve as a functional element, but it also acts as an artistic focal point within the home. David Bohnsack, Director of Field Operations at Streeter, recalls, “Creating both the interior and exterior staircases involved meticulous planning. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure the home’s design remained cohesive and functional.”
The creation of Isles Modern is a true collaboration among the design, construction, and architectural teams. From the initial concept to the final touches, every step of the process was guided by a shared vision of excellence. As Angaran reflects, “Streeter is a true collaborative partner. Their attention to detail and commitment to bringing the design to life were essential in achieving the homeowners’ goals.”
This remarkable home will be featured in the upcoming AIA Minnesota Homes by Architects Tour this fall, giving architecture enthusiasts and prospective buyers alike a chance to experience the beauty and craftsmanship that defines Isles Modern. It’s a perfect opportunity to witness firsthand the culmination of an exceptional design partnership.
