Lake Elmo Timber Tower

Interiors

This Lake Elmo home’s main floor was reimagined with a reconstructed staircase, kitchen and office updates, a living room remodel with a new gas fireplace, and refreshed furnishings. The outdated staircase was replaced with a custom design featuring stained hickory treads and matte black horizontal railing, opening up the space while nodding to the home’s farmhouse roots. Custom built-in cabinets, a deep teal island, warm white tile, and teardrop glass pendants create a timeless yet modern aesthetic.
