A Cozy Minnesota Christmas

Imagine sitting by the fireplace, sipping a cup of hot cocoa as your little ones open presents on Christmas morning. It’s a lovely sight to imagine, but sometimes, when looking for a new home, it’s hard to envision what life would be like in that home. As you research builders and visit countless homes, it’s challenging to choose a builder that is going to put your family first, and build a home that fits your specific needs. At Stonegate Builders, our mission is to design timeless homes tailored to your lifestyle. We also pride ourselves in being a Minnesota local builder, and what better way to celebrate that than creating a perfect Minnesota Christmas that helps you to envision what holidays could be like in a Stonegate home, with locally handmade Christmas decor from our friends at Carver Junk Company. You might even see an “Uffda” within the decorations. Browse through A Cozy Minnesota Christmas to explore how we transformed our model in Arbor Woods. Click on an image below to open the gallery.
