ROSEVILLE, MINN. (May 2019) — BATC-Housing First Minnesota’s ticketed, high-end home event, the Artisan Home Tour, is set to open for its sixth season on June 7. This year, the tour features 21 incredible new homes open from 12-6 p.m. on June 7-9, 14-16 and 21-23. Plus, 11 artisan-quality remodeled homes will be open the final weekend, June 21-23.
Homes that are showcased on the Artisan Home Tour have each been designed and constructed with the highest level of architectural integrity, top-quality craftsmanship and exceptionally high finish level. These million-dollar-plus residences from the region’s most exclusive homebuilders and remodelers also feature today’s most popular designs, materials, accessories and colors.
Tickets
A TourTicket (good for all homes) or a single-visit ticket is required for entry into the homes. TourTickets can be purchased at area Bachman’s at a discounted rate of $20. TourTickets can also be purchased online at ArtisanHomeTour.org for $25, or at the door of any home on the tour for $30. Discount coupons are also available at all area Holiday Stationstores for redemption online or at any Artisan home. For those interested in just visiting one or two homes, single-visit tickets are available for $5 at the door.
A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the BATC-Housing First Minnesota Foundation. These funds help the Foundation continue its work building and remodeling homes for Minnesota’s homeless, veterans and others in need. Recent projects include a remodeled home for women in crisis, an apartment renovation for women going through addiction recovery and a new five-bedroom home designated as transitional housing for veteran women.
Details, Photos, Maps
All the homes on tour are featured online at ArtisanHomeTour.org, in the Parade Craze mobile app and in the comprehensive Artisan Home Tour guidebook.
The Artisan Home Tour guidebook is direct mailed to 80,000 high-income households in the Twin Cities region, including about half that will be mailed with the summer issue of Artful Living magazine. Guidebooks can be picked up at Bachman’s ticket locations, and a digital version is available online at ArtisanHomeTour.org.
Downloading the Parade Craze app provides complete tour information on your phone. In addition to providing an easy-to-use, online ticketing application, the mobile app allows visitors to view homes (including photos) map out their tour route, and rate and comment on the homes they tour.
Homes Concentrated in the Western Suburbs and Lakes Area
As you might expect, the majority of the region’s most exclusive homes tend to be built around the lakes. The 2019 Artisan Home Tour is no exception with many of homes around Lake Minnetonka.
Homes are found all across the metro area, from Victoria to Hudson, WI. New Homes are located in Orono (7), Edina (3), Eden Prairie (1), Greenwood (1), Hudson, WI (1), Lakeville (1), Medina (1), North Oaks (1), Prior Lake (1), Shorewood (1), Victoria (1), Woodbury (1) and Woodland (1).
Remodeled homes are located Edina (4), Excelsior (1), Golden Valley (1), Lake Elmo (1), Medina (1), Mound (1), Shorewood (1) and Wayzata (1). These 11 homes are open the last weekend of the tour.
Homes in a Variety of Styles
From Mediterranean to Tudor and everything in between, the Artisan homes run the entire gamut of styles. Designed to make life comfortable and gracious, Artisan homes include details and features that assure each family’s lifestyle is at center stage. High-end kitchens showcase top-of-the-line appliances and unique custom finishes. The latest technology is a core feature in many of the homes, including several that are fully automated. Indoor to outdoor transitions are thoughtfully planned with features like screen porches, terraces, outdoor kitchens and more.
Produced by BATC-Housing First Minnesota
As with all Parade of Homes events, every home on the tour has been built by a member of BATC-Housing First Minnesota. Each member must sign a code of ethics and has access to valuable resources and information to support their business.
