The Exterior of a Home: What Does it Say To You?

The exterior of a home is like its greeting to the world. Its ciao bella or stiff lipped smile.We love designing beautiful homes, inside and out. Front and back. And we don't take the exteriors lightly. With the goal of creating homes that merge naturally into their surrounding neighborhoods, each one takes on a little greeting of its own.What that usually means is a little bit of cape cod meets craftsman meets colonial (with some prairie and tudor and farmhouse thrown in here and there), and a whole lot of style.To view a comprehensive list of what comes standard with every REFINED visit our recent posts:standard exterior elements or standard interior elementsIn addition, all REFINED homes include:

Star Tribune Feature: Pamela Park Neighborhood, Edina, MN

Pamela Park Edina MN

Recently, the Star Tribune published an article about the Pamela Park neighborhood of Edina, Minnesota, and the work REFINED has done there. We'd like to thank the Star Tribune and Rachel Hutton for featuring us in this article. Here are some of the highlights Hutton covers in her article (but be sure to read the article to get the full scoop)!

Residing in a central location, Pamela Park provides residents with quick and easy access to freeways, shopping, and restaurants. The new homes REFINED have built has helped to bring growth and revitalization to the neighborhood while offering a "livable, practical approach to luxury." Likewise, the city of Edina has seen a boost in its tax base and both long-time and new residents are seeing a spike in the overall value of their property.

Our team has a unique perspective about the neighborhood because one of REFINED's partners, Andy, lives in the neighborhood. With an understanding that new home construction can be a nuisance to current residents, we strive to create a positive building experience. REFINED also brings flexibility to the process by offering clients the ability to rent existing homes while they are waiting for construction to start on their new home.

Pamela Park Feature: Neighborhood Ice Cream Shoppe!

We love Edina!  What a great community to live in as a whole, but even better when you take a peek into the mini-communities within.  The Pamela Park area is one of those community gems.

Not only does this neighborhood in the northeast end of Edina feature a sixty-two-acre park, with a magnificent playground, ball fields, and more, it's home to many local businesses that bring charm, ease, and a big hello to the families who live nearby.

One such Pamela Park area-business is the Neighborhood Ice Cream Shoppe.  With a never-ending list of ice cream flavors (44!), custom ice cream cakes, choice of cones, and many creative treats, they are loved by many -- especially on a hot day!  We hear they now carry Sebastian Joe's ice cream too!  What's not to love?

Creativly-named flavors like Pear Riesling Sorbet, Immaculate Confection, Pavarotti, and Nicollet Avenue Pothole make us want to spend a day as ice-cream tasters -- if not just to satisfy our curiosity.

Curious for more about the Neighborhood Ice Cream Shoppe?  Check out their Facebook page here.
