Turn-of-the-century architecture, 20th century rather than 21st that is, is often sought after by the nostalgic home buyer. Vintage homes, circa 1900, were often designed and constructed with unique rooms, window sizes, dormers, front & back porches, nooks & crannies, cedar closets and hand crafted woodwork. Finding an affordable vintage home to purchase that is rich with authentic details intact can be challenge. Sometimes homes fall into disrepair and many larger homes have been re-imagined into multi-family homes and duplexes over the decades. Sometimes the search for an affordable historic home can take the home buyer across the Twin Cities (1 comments)

When I started in the real estate business over 15 years ago, my very first clients was young couple with 2 school aged daughters looking for a home that could accommodate the girls’ grandma living with them. They wanted an “in-law” suite which was very hard to find at the time because few single family homes were designed for multigenerational living.

stillwater mn: Wordless Wednesday (Almost) Divine or De-Vine?

I have always loved the look of ivy growing over a trellis and marveled at the beauty of home covered in vines. But when is a creeping ivy just too much of a good thing?
