Property Description
Location and Lifestyle-Step inside and fall in love! Experience downtown Geneva living at its finest in this designer-curated home. Every detail has been thoughtfully tailored, blending modern elegance with an effortless 'happy living' design. With its striking interiors and unparalleled location, this residence is as much a showpiece as it is a retreat - all just steps from the heart of Geneva's dining, shopping, and vibrant city energy. A welcoming front porch invites you inside, where hardwood floors throughout the first and second levels (many original) and 9-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms create an open, elegant feel. A plaque featuring the original owner's signature adds a historic touch, while designer lighting throughout brings polished, contemporary flair. The bright, inviting kitchen features soapstone countertops, Carrara marble backsplash, high-end appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry. An addition expanded the home to include a breathtaking, light-filled family room with a coffered ceiling, custom cabinetry and bookcases, banquette seating, and a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light. At its heart, a gas fireplace with Artistic tile surround adds warmth and charm. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite, part of the newer addition, features vaulted ceilings, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a clawfoot tub, separate shower, heated floors, a gorgeous vintage vanity, and a striking barrel ceiling. A stylish hall bath and convenient second-level laundry serve the additional three bedrooms. Altogether, the home offers five bedrooms and four full baths. The main house includes four bedrooms and three full baths (one on the main level), while the adorable coach house adds a fifth bedroom and fourth bath with skylight and built-in dresser-perfect for a guest suite, home office, or studio. Outdoor spaces are equally enchanting, with recent updates including a brick paver patio, turf yard, privacy landscaping, cedar fence, and sprinkler system. The ribbon driveway leads to the detached one-car garage. Other recent improvements include a partially finished basement and cedar privacy fence (2025), water heater-coach house , HVAC (2024), AC, exterior paint, brick patio, landscaping, and kitchen updates (2023), designer lighting, wallpaper, and tile (2022), main house roof, addition windows (2016). Don't miss this rare opportunity to own this stunning historic home in an unbeatable downtown location just steps away from dining, shopping and the Metra.
