Geneva Lake South Shore Club home on market for $8.495 million | Resorter

The showpiece of the second floor is the master bedroom, which is its own retreat, with a sitting area, a small desk and his and hers master bathrooms. Bridging the desire for an unobstructed lake view with the need for privacy, room-darkening shades descend to cover the windows at the touch of a button when it is time for sleep.

The second floor’s sweetest room is the nursery. A trundle bed is tucked under a small window in its own niche, an ideal arrangement for whispering late into the night during sleepovers. A white crib accommodates the smallest resident or visitor.

Work and play combine on the home’s top floor. His and hers desks face each other in the third-floor turret. A seating area or lounge provides a respite with four comfortable chairs around a circular glass coffee table, next to a gas fireplace on one wall and a large-screen TV on another. On the other side of the third floor is a spacious children’s playroom area.

The home’s lower level features a soundproof 12-seat home theater. When the door to the theater is closed, no noise disturbs anyone in the adjacent family room. The ample wine cellar is located on this level, as is another mudroom/laundry room/bath for those coming in from the lake.

The property comes with a carefree lifestyle. At South Shore Club, a yearly fee covers landscaping and snowplowing, as well as all the club’s activities available — nature trails, a swimming pool, a chip-and-putt golf area, tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, bocce, shuffleboard, billiards and ping pong.
