About This Home
One of Downtown Geneva's MOST DESIRABLE Streets, with STUNNING GOLF COURSE views ... This is the PRIME LOCATION you've been waiting for! This home sits on an oversized lot, on the second fairway, overlooking Geneva Golf Club's signature 5th hole! Here, vintage charm meets modern conveniences. Some of the original features include hardwood floors, a stately brick fireplace in the living room and endearing tile in the bathrooms. Over the years, an addition provided a sunny family room leading to an outdoor deck, an expansive kitchen and a spacious master suite. On the main floor, the kitchen sports plenty of cabinets and countertop space. French doors lead to the dining space. The powder room is located off the first floor den, and laundry is located in the mudroom, off of the garage. It's nearly impossible to find bedrooms of this size in older, downtown homes! The primary bedroom has his and hers closets and an en suite bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom has 3 closets plus a tandem room, and the third bedroom boasts a walking closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a hall bath. The partially finished basement offers three additional living spaces plus a large utility/storage room. An additional laundry space could be added here. Outside, enjoy low maintenance, hardy board siding and a freshly painted deck. The attached, oversized two car garage is another rarity downtown! CLOSE TO EVERTHING ~ 3 blocks from the state-of-the-art Geneva Library and a few quick blocks to the Metra train, 3rd Street Shopping, Dining, Festivals and the Fox River Running/Biking Trail! All this, plus award winning Geneva Schools!
