On Tues., Aug. 18, Grand Estates Auction Company, the industry leader in luxury residential real estate auctions, will present two spectacular properties for sale in exclusive Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Poised on the sparkling shores of the lake, these homes exemplify sumptuous living and entertaining, with elegant design details, luxurious amenities, and scenic views.
Penthouse in Historic Manor
These properties will both be offered through absolute auction with no minimum and no reserve. Come prepared to bid and buy!
Gourmet Kitchen with Lake Views
At 11:30 a.m., bidders will have the opportunity to acquire a unique, spacious penthouse condominium in an historic stone manor originally built as a summer villa for one of the wealthy industrialists who made Lake Geneva the “Newport of the West.” It’s the most desired of the five units in this Italianate villa. The third-floor penthouse offers breathtaking views of the surrounding lake and garden, a rooftop entertaining space, amazing 11-foot ceilings, an open floor plan with formal living and dining rooms, and sophisticated design features like original, intricately carved wood and plaster moldings.
Sunset from Rooftop Pool
Serve sunset cocktails to your guests in the sunken wet bar with a dazzling, panoramic lake views through the surrounding walls of windows. This incredible home has two luxurious master suites, two gourmet kitchens with island/breakfast bars and professional-grade appliances, a family room, attic rooms for recreation or storage, two private laundry rooms, an office, and four fireplaces (two wood-burning and two gas). This unit also comes with two covered boat slips, four parking spaces in an underground, heated garage, and a basement storage room. Shared amenities in this glamorous building include 450 feet of level lake frontage, a rooftop heated pool and patio, tennis and basketball court, 24-hour concierge, elevator, and ten acres of beautifully landscaped, gated, and fenced grounds.
Historic Elegance and Design Details
At 2 p.m., Grand Estates will offer a second spectacular property in desirable Lake Geneva. This elegant waterfront estate home offers privacy, beauty, and extensive space for living or entertaining, all with dramatic lake views from any of its three levels and 70 feet of private lakeshore. Just a short distance from charming downtown Lake Geneva, this beautiful home is surrounded by lush, mature forest for quiet and privacy. Invite your friends for a weekend party getaway, with cocktails on the wraparound verandas soaking up the stunning views, or a spin on the boat around the shimmering lake — conveniently from your private boatslip.
Dazzling Lake Views
The classically American frame home features an open plan living and dining room with gas fireplace, wet bar, lighted wine rack, custom cabinetry, deck access, and 10-foot ceilings. Spend the day water-skiing on the lake with your family, then enjoy game night in the family room with kitchenette. Explore your inner chef in the beautiful main kitchen with its professional-grade appliances, including Viking range and oven, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator with ample storage. The kitchen also features elegant finishes like marble countertops, limestone flooring, and knotty pine cabinetry, along with a breakfast nook where you can gather with family or guests for a casual meal.
Bask in Warm Sunlight on Lake Geneva
In your spacious master suite, curl up with your favorite novel in the cozy sitting area, or step out onto your private veranda for your morning coffee while you gaze at the lake. The master suite has a wet bar with a sink and small refrigerator when you need a late-night snack or cocktail. After an active day of sailing or golf, slip into your jetted tub in the huge master bath, which also features a steam shower and walk-in closet. Your guests will enjoy their gracious suites with private baths. You’ll enjoy the easy access to a cool breeze and a stunning view from the many private decks and porches. The two-level, four-car garage is heated.
Luxurious Master Bath
Lake Geneva is one of the America’s most desirable resort areas, with its old-fashioned charm and relaxed elegance. It’s the perfect place to relax or enjoy outdoor sports year-round, including boating, fishing, water sports, championship golf, tennis, scenic hiking, and winter sports. The town offers excellent fine and casual dining, elegant boutiques, spas, fitness facilities, and cultural attractions.
