The formal living and dining rooms retain their historic charm with original marble mantels, now enhanced by inviting gas fireplaces that add warmth and ambiance. The thoughtfully expanded floor plan also includes a private garden-level guest suite, a radiant-heated attached two-car garage, and a spectacular second-floor primary suite offering serene lake views. A truly extraordinary offering, this residence is a masterful restoration where historic grandeur meets uncompromising modern luxury—creating one of Geneva’s most distinctive homes.
