Eden Prairie home with postmodern look ‘that never goes out of style’ listed for $629,900

Renae and Bill Dentingerloved their home so much, they made it part of their wedding day.

The two said their vows under an arch in front the wooded backyard as family and friends watched from the three-tier deck. For food, they served fresh slices of pizzas from a custom oven Bill Dentinger designed for the patio.

Spanning 3,785 square feet on just under an acre of land, the home was large enough to accommodate more than 120 guests for the occasion, Dentinger said. The house symbolizes the couple’s second chance at love after their former spouses died and became a place to meld their families, including her two children and his three.

“We opened up the house and had lots of people outside. On the three levels of the deck, we had music and dancing, pizzas [cooking] down below,” Renae Detinger said. “The woods made it feel like there weren’t any houses next to us.”

Now ready to retire to their cabin in Wisconsin, the couple wants to pass on the four-bedroom, four-bathroom Eden Prairie house to a new family to create memories there.

“It’s very easy to host people and parking for them is easy. That’s one of the reasons we bought it,” Bill Dentinger said. “We were at that time in our life.”

The home is on the market for $629,000 and is just above the average price for homes in Eden Prairie, according to data from the Minneapolis Area Realtors. By square footage, though, it is cheaper at $166, compared with $219. Overall, average sales prices in Eden Prairie have increased by 13.5% since last year.

With a classic 1980s postmodern look, it has tall, dramatic, cathedral-like ceilings that meet at a stark point that a similarly-shaped triangular window in the living room matches.
