Property Description
Lake Geneva, well known for its charm and elegance, boasts a lifestyle with a relaxed atmosphere. Referred to as one of the jewels of the Midwest it offers sparkling lake waters, inviting boutiques and galleries, scenic parks and walkways, and both casual and gourmet restaurants. The city is located in Southeastern Wisconsin's Walworth County, a few miles north of the Illinois state line, 75 miles north of Chicago and 45 miles southeast of Milwaukee. I-43 is six miles to the north and I-94 is 27 miles to the east. With its four seasons of white winters, green springs and summers, and breathtakingly colorful falls, it is a favorite destination for Midwestern tourists who come to enjoy the many festivals, lake cruises, delightful restaurants and local hospitality. This is a community of historical homes and buildings that dates back to the early 1800's. After the Civil War the town became a resort for the wealthy Chicago families who began construction of the mansions on the lake, and Lake Geneva became the Newport (RI) of the West. The construction of the mansions, as well as household employment, offered job opportunities to the local residents, adding to the milling, furniture, wagon and typewriter manufacturing enterprises. Lake Geneva residents enjoy living in a pleasant, friendly small-town atmosphere and always welcome visitors and guests to participate in an array of activities and attractions that encompass its hub, Geneva Lake.
