transformed modern home on over two acres
Step into a world where timeless history and modern luxury blend seamlessly at 221 Hawley Lane. Originally a 1933 fishing cabin, this private residence was transformed into a fully modern home in 2016, sparing no expense to create a serene oasis just minutes from Geneva's vibrant amazing downtown area with fantastic restaurants, boutiques, festivals and so much charm!!! Nestled on over two acres, the property boasts a 5000+ square foot main house, a charming Sear's Kit guest/pool house, a screened gazebo, an expansive 45'x18' pool, multiple bluestone patios, outdoor firepits, and an enchanting Aquascape stream and pond. The main house features four spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, and is adorned with hardwood floors throughout. Panoramic views of the tranquil surroundings are visible from every angle. During the 2016 renovation, ceilings were raised, new Pella windows were installed, and the electrical and plumbing systems were updated. The chef's dream kitchen showcases quartzite countertops, custom Shiloh and Pervo cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf professional appliances, and a built-in Miele coffee system. The original stone fireplace, complemented by a reclaimed wood mantle, connects the dining area and beverage center, creating the perfect gathering spot for family and friends. The expansive main living area includes an open floorplan with a living room, and two other rooms that could be additional sitting areas or potential dual offices all enhanced by picture windows offering stunning, tranquil views and access to multi-tiered outdoor patios. The second-floor addition houses two bedrooms, including the primary suite, which opens to a covered porch through French doors. The primary bath is a sanctuary with heated floors, marble tile, double vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a custom closet. The walkout basement is a wine enthusiast's dream, featuring a 600-bottle temperature-controlled wine room, a full bath, and ample storage space. Outside, stone walkways lead to the rejuvenated pool/guest house, now equipped with raised ceilings, new windows, a kitchen, flooring, bath, and HVAC systems. The pool area is a haven of relaxation, with glass fire bowls, fountains, a tanning ledge, and an automatic pool cover. A charming wooden bridge connects the pool area to a screened gazebo and a restored outdoor fireplace. The 3+ car garage has been rebuilt to include heating, ample work and storage space, an epoxy floor, a washtub, and a separate single garage door accessible from the yard. Above the garage, you'll find a covered porch and a large flex space with an attached full bath, perfect for a nanny or in-law suite! Every detail, inside and out, has been meticulously crafted. The gorgeous iron railing in the foyer mimics the original bridge design near the pool, while a split rail fence complements the original log cabin design. The professionally landscaped grounds celebrate the beauty of the Midwest seasons. This extraordinary escape must be seen to be fully appreciated in all its grandeur and splendor!
