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.
