about
We specialize in historic and architectural real estate—35+ years combined experience and 20-year award winning success with Bruce Birkeland and Ryan Burnet. We have represented a wide range of antiquity and architectural properties, including: one of the William Purcell & Frederick Strauel speculative houses in Red Cedar; “Stewart” residence by Carl A. Gage; “Frank Kacmarcik” house by Marcel Breuer; “M.H. Arnsden” house by Liebenberg, Kaplan and Martin; iconic Lake of the Isles home by Frederick Soper; personal residence of architect James Stageberg; “Robert Ahrens” residence by Magnus Jemne; “Galbraith” Whitefish Lake cabin by Close & Associates and many others. In addition, we have represented many highly published properties listed in: “The AIA Guide to the Twin Cities” by Larry Millett; “A Guide to the Architecture of Minnesota” by David Gebhard; “Legendary Homes of the Minneapolis Lakes” by Bette Jones Hammel and “Minnesota Modern; Architecture and Life at Midcentury” by Larry Millett. As Frank Lloyd Wright's quote “A house is more than a home by being a work of art” - we strongly believe that one-of-a-kind antiquity and architectural homes are art and add value through design integrity and enhanced quality of life, which can’t easily be measured by price per finished square foot.
We are passionate about historic and architectural real estate, uniquely work within a like-minded audience and take great pride in representing amazing one-of-a-kind properties—we specialize in homes that are beyond the ordinary and are uniquely tailored to curate, stylize, editorialize and artfully promote art-itectural real estate. Every listing has a story and Architectural Lifestyles was conceived over twenty years ago as a creative path to elevate design awareness, connect like-minded individuals and enhance value.
