Spacious Lakefront Home in Lake Geneva

This is a a private 4000 sq. ft. home on two wooded acres with 120
feet of lakefront at the Fontana end of Lake Geneva.
The home was styled after William Wordsworth's home in the Lake
Country of England. It has been in the family since it was built in
1905. The interior is Midwest Prairie architecture with beamed
ceilings spanning the Great Room and spacious dining room which both
overlook the lake. The dining room with fireplace will seat
14 people. The Great Room will entertain the same size group with two
sitting areas, a large fireplace, and HDTV home theatre. Adjoining
the Great Room is an outdoor porch filled with comfortable wicker
furniture, including a porch swing and dining table. The porch
overlooks the well-maintained front gardens and lawn and affords
stunning views of the lake. A long private pier has a covered boat
lift and a separate boat launch dock or picnic staging area. A
large, private swim raft and buoy for an additional boat complement
the pier.
The grounds are wooded except for the front and side lawns. A
charming sunken garden, defined by field stone walls, perennials, and
a three-tiered fountain, flanks the long driveway from North Lake
Shore Drive to the house.

The house has a large, fully appointed kitchen with modern
appliances, a double oven, microwave oven, 28 cu. ft. side-by-side
refrigerator/freezer, plus breakfast table in a sitting area with

burner gas grill on the back patio.
The house is fully air conditioned.
The upstairs has six bedrooms that sleep 14, and three stylish full
baths. Three bedrooms view the lake, one with a king and two with
queen size beds. The other three bedrooms view our private woods and
