About this property

Location location location Lake Geneva's Gathering Place. Memories are made here

Covid is over and it's time to get out and make up for lost time! Gather your family in our Historic Civil War-era home built in 1863. Our home is one of the oldest homes in Lake Geneva and in the famous Maple Park Historic District. If location is important, if walking to everything is high on the priority list, if convenience is ideal click "book now" before all the weeks in our calendar are taken. Only half block from the lake, and stones throw to Library Park.

Our home has been extensively renovated over the past two years with an eye to the contemporary convenience and sophistication while keeping the traditional beauty and romanticism of the past.

From the moment you walk through the entry door and see the curved staircase you know this home is special. Imagine all the stories that have been told on the front porch during long summer evenings. It's time to add your stories to the ones already told. Gather the family, pull up a chair and exchange memories as you rock on the front porch or around the fire-pit in the back yard.

Our large Kitchen/ Gathering room will be the center of many a card game, conversations late into the night, lazy breakfasts, easy lunches and fantastic dinners. The long dining room table seats 10 comfortably. And there's a little people's table, too. The family room encourages the couch potato to feel right at home watching movies or ball games on Streaming Smart TV! The living room is a place you will enjoy quiet conversation, reading a good book or taking that well-deserved nap. Appreciate the privacy of two primary suites with their own baths, one on the 1st floor and one on the 2nd floor. A powder room serves the main floor rooms. Full sized washer and dryer. Large yard for tossing the ball or enjoying the sun. And just a short walk to the unique shops and restaurants in downtown Lake Geneva.

We have a BBQ grill on the rear patio to enjoy your family's favorite recipes. There's a wrought iron table and chairs with umbrella stand for your afternoon leisure. The rear yard has a fire pit surrounded by 6 adirondack chairs so bring fixings for s'mores. Your friends and children will make memories to last a lifetime. It's a place you'll want to come back to year after year. Talk to us to plan for the following year. Over half of our guests book the same week the following year, we can make it happen!

Allow us to help you enjoy your stay here in our home. We look forward to having you.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Petersen

Host profile image
From St Louis. Graduated from Principia College in '88, lived in LA then moved to Chicago and have been in the Real Estate business ever since. I build single family homes in the city of Chicago. Live with my wonderful wife Corrie and our three children. Mason Just graduated from Indiana University Kelly School of Business, Sam is a Junior at U of Michigan, and our Leah is a Jr. at Lane Tech here on the north side of the city. We purchased this home when our kids were tiny hoping that we would shape their world with great memories and happy times. Now it's time to pay it forward, and let others build those dreams!

Why they chose this property

The moment the real estate agent walked me into this great home and I saw the curved staircase I was SOLD. Room after room I walked through and continued to see the potential. I knew this home could ensure my dream of having a summer home for my family. It's exactly what I wanted. Its near the lake, its near downtown: shopping- restaurants- pubs. The beach is one block from our back door. We share our 6 beach passes too!! The elementary school yard & park is catty-corner across the street. Play tennis, basketball, baseball, kickball, volleyball use the swing set and all the play ground equipment! We can come up in the winter and ice fish, see the ice sculptures, walk in the snow caves, go skiing, cross country ski, snow mobile.
You name it- you can do it!! The love and warmth that has been shared in our home has been immeasurable and priceless!

What makes this property unique

Drive up, park your car in the driveway and walk to everything! You could not ask for any better location to anything in the city or the lake! The home can easily handle 12 people. Laundry is full sized on the 1st floor. Two master bedroom bathroom suites. Huge yard space. Large gather space. Perfect front porch with quintessential rocking chairs.
