2025 HOLIDAY HOUSE TOUR
Local designers and green scape experts team up to decorate homes around Geneva to provide inspiration on ways to decorate your home for the holidays. Each designer also uses items available at local shops.

Tucked beneath the trees and the stars sits a home that shines with both architectural history and heartfelt hospitality. Built in 1957 and lovingly expanded in recent years, this Modern Contemporary home seamlessly blends midcentury design with sophisticated luxury. During the holidays it glows with joy, laughter, and the unmistakable warmth of Christmas.
Designed by renowned Chicago North Shore architect Walter Frazier, the original structure captures the clean lines and understated elegance of its era. In 2023, the homeowners embarked on a renovation that expanded the home to the west, north, and south. The result is a reimagined 4,300-square-foot space that honors its architectural roots, while meeting the needs of a lively, creative modern family.

Christmas sparkles in this elegant, traditional-style 4,100-square-foot Augustine Custom Home, built in 2002. Steep gables are traced in warm white lights; their clean outlines echoing the soft amber glow spilling from the home’s many windows. The stately landscape is dressed for the season with fresh pines, garlands, and twinkling strands of lights that make the entire yard shimmer with festive magic. This is a place where “home for the holidays” rings especially true, and what lies beyond the inviting front porch and prominent doorway only deepens that sentiment.

Step into the glow of this spectacular 1947 Cape Cod Holiday Classic. Set on one of Geneva’s most prestigious tree-lined streets, this home is 3,600 square feet of timeless charm, thoughtful design, and festive cheer. Lovingly refreshed in 2024 by Toms Price Home, this home is a perfect blend of traditional and modern, filled with seasonal sparkle and the warmth of family and friends gathered close.

Welcome to a timeless holiday Greek Revival gem nestled in the heart of Geneva’s historic district. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this beauty is one of the oldest homes in Geneva. Built between 1846 and 1853, and thoughtfully renovated in 2020, this 3,200-square-foot home beautifully blends old-world craftsmanship with modern comfort. The original limestone foundation and front doorway is dressed for the holidays in lavish greenery, its 1846 leaded glass transom remains intact, grounding the home in its rich past.

Discover the charm of this elegant holiday farmhouse, lovingly restored and glowing with Christmas spirit. With roots dating back to the 19th century, this storied property holds generations of history and character. Once the home of Martin Thompson, devoted caretaker of Island Park for over 20 years, the home was thoughtfully renovated in 2019 with the help of Wetmore Construction. Every room feels like it has a story to tell, especially during the holidays. Christmas is the homeowner’s favorite season, and our talented friends at Farmdog Flowers helped bring that spirit to life this year, dressing the home in garlands, greens, and a touch of holiday wonder. It’s the kind of place where you half expect to hear sleigh bells, smell fresh-baked cookies in the kitchen and hear laughter around every corner.
