Nancy Bates presents another fine home located at:

1609 South Street, Geneva
***SOLD***


"Best of All Worlds"
$ 899,900

This is not your parent’s American Four Square. Careful attention to detail and classic styling of a bygone era, an open flowing floor plan designed for contemporary living, say this stunning home has it all. The builder’s use of rich hardwoods, classic Prairie Style details, extensive stained glass in windows and lighting fixtures, and authentic hardware are reminiscent of something designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The home’s open and airy floor plan, its large rooms with flowing traffic patterns and its use of upgraded appliances and conveniences make it very appealing to today’s living. Elegant touches such as the classic Port Cochere, the sumptuous Master Suite, the inviting screened porch and the awesome gourmet Kitchen bring a flair for the discerning buyer. A large deep pour lower level and an open unfinished walk-up attic, give this home room to expand. Couple all of this with its convenient location within walking distance of downtown Geneva and the train, and its proximity to shopping, dining, recreation and health services, and one has a home that is truly “The Best of All Worlds.”
