Exceptional Geneva Location! Just a short stroll to downtown boutiques, restaurants, and the Metra train, this delightful 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence perfectly combines timeless charm with today's modern conveniences. A welcoming front porch leads into a flexible layout featuring a main-level bedroom (not the primary suite) with a full bath nearby, a private home office, and a beautifully updated kitchen showcasing soft-close cabinetry, natural stone countertops, spacious island with pendant lighting, tile backsplash, and under-cabinet illumination. The inviting sunken family room highlights soaring vaulted ceilings and a warm gas fireplace. A generously sized laundry and mudroom with direct access to the backyard offers everyday functionality. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms share an updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the impressive primary suite features an oversized walk-in closet, refreshed bath, and a private screened porch overlooking the professionally landscaped, fenced yard. Outdoor living shines with an expansive deck and patio ideal for entertaining or relaxing. All just a quick 7-minute walk to the train and vibrant Third Street attractions in one of Geneva's most sought-after neighborhoods.
