Other owners include: the first husband and wife doctor team in the Chicago area, F.H. Blackman & Julie Cole, August Wilson (one of Geneva's iconic builders) and Thomas and Giovanna Emma (and their 9 children.) Beyond its remarkable provenance, the home offers an inspiring lifestyle. A stunning gallery adorned with exposed stone walls and French doors opens onto the private, professionally landscaped backyard-an idyllic retreat featuring a flagstone patios, lush perennial gardens and mature trees, including fruit-bearing varieties. With two, spacious two-car garages, one thoughtfully enhanced with a covered porch, you'll find endless potential for a home office, fitness studio, creative space or even a detached family room. Enjoy peace of mind with numerous upgrades, including a new roof (2021), copper gutters, updated electrical systems, high-end kitchen appliances (including Viking stove and microwave) and more. Every corner of this residence reflects thoughtful care and timeless appeal. Just steps from Geneva's celebrated shops, restaurants and Metra station, this home offers the best of small-town charm and big-city convenience.
