Remodeled Home of the Month in St. Paul gets additional space for growing family

A home in the Merriam Park neighborhood of St. Paul stays in the family after remodeling makes it more kid-friendly.
October 15, 2024
Merriam Park Cottage Renewal, a 2024-2025 Home of the Month winner by Albertsson Hansen Architecture and Interior Design, is a modest 1 1/2-story house that gets an overhaul while maintaining its vintage feel. An addition to a 1916 St. Paul home increases the kitchen’s square footage, adds a small covered porch with easier access to the backyard and expands the second floor to accommodate three bedrooms. Existing spaces are opened up to create better flow between gathering areas. White shaker-style cabinets and trim, as well as tall windows, add airiness and lightness.
