We are Urban Lifestyles. With 35+ years of combined experience representing one-of-a-kind real estate—Scott Acker and Amanda Johnson are proven market leaders. We are passionate about unique real estate, work within a like-minded audience and take great pride in representing amazingly creative properties. We are dedicated to unique real estate and specialize in properties that are beyond the ordinary—ranging from a spectacular Lake of the Isles Carl A. Gage Tudor Revival, to a designer penthouse loft, to a mid-century modernist masterpiece by Carl Graffunder and everything in-between.  

Over the past 20+ years we have represented many specialized properties, including: architect James Stageberg’s personal residence, Burnet residence by Romaldo Giurgola, Betty Poole residence by Ralph Rapson (Buyer), Kacmarcik residence by Marcel Breuer, Robert Ahrens residence by Magnus Jemne, Whitefish Lake cabin by Close & Associates—and many others.

With a belief that these one-of-a-kind properties add value through design integrity and enhanced quality of life, which can’t easily be measured by price per finished square foot—we are uniquely tailored to curate, stylize, editorialize and artfully promote one-of-a-kind real estate. Every listing has a story and Urban Lifestyles was conceived as a creative path to elevate design awareness, connect like-minded individuals and enhance value.
