Description
The 724 House | Historic Downtown Geneva Welcome to The 724 House, circa 2002 - one of the finest homes in downtown Geneva, where timeless architecture meets thoughtful, comprehensive updates throughout. This beautiful custom home exudes history and grandeur, with a floor plan designed for both elegant entertaining and easy everyday living. Step inside and the period details speak for themselves: transoms, wainscoting, crystal door hardware, rich hardwood floors throughout the first floor and upstairs hallway, and a striking two-sided fireplace. The living room and dining room are grand and generous, flanking a gracious main staircase that was beautifully replaced with wood stairs and remodeled railings in 2023. The large family room and sunroom on the main level overlook a beautifully wooded, private yard, while the kitchen and open family room are bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows on every level. This home has been meticulously maintained and continuously improved. A brand-new furnace and thermostat were installed in 2026 ($12,000 investment), and a gas fireplace was added in 2024. The master bathroom received a full remodel in 2024, complementing fresh paint and wallpaper throughout nearly every room - the dining room, family room, office, living room, master bedroom, bedroom hallway, master bath, laundry, second-floor bathroom, kids' bedrooms, and basement - completed between 2024 and 2026. The kitchen cabinets and all interior doors were freshly painted in 2025, exterior shutters were added in 2025, and new carpet was installed in the master bedroom and baby room in 2023. The home also features a new fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and dryer, ensuring every system and surface has been thoughtfully cared for. Upstairs, a grand landing opens to four spacious bedrooms and a convenient second-floor laundry. The primary suite offers a gorgeous treetop view overlooking the private, wooded yard - a peaceful retreat just steps from downtown. The finished walkout basement adds an incredible 1,664 square feet of additional living space, perfect for multigenerational living, a private guest suite, or extra entertaining room. Outside, impeccably designed gardens and a magical babbling brook create a true sense of magic right in the heart of downtown Geneva. You're just a block from Geneva's historic downtown, with some of the Fox Valley's finest dining and chicest boutiques, and steps from the Metra station for effortless access to all the culture of downtown Chicago. This is more than a home - it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Geneva's history, fully updated for modern life. Welcome home to The 724 House.
