WHEN TWIN CITIES TASTEMAKER NANCY BIGOS
set foot on the 1920 Lake Minnetonka estate once owned by the lumber baron Fullerton family, she instantly fell in love. “I knew it was the diamond in the rough,” she says of the original home and the accompanying 7.2-acre waterfront property. “It wrapped itself around me and said, ‘You have to buy me.’” So she did, then began the painstaking process of conserving the abode’s considerable history, renovating the existing 10,000-square-foot footprint and adding another 5,500 — all while weaving her signature style throughout. And today, the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home situated at 3350 Fox Street in Orono is ready for a new owner.
