HOUSE HUNT: Geneva House Featured on 'Better Homes and Gardens' Plus a Nice Little $4.75 Million Bungalow on 'Castle Drive'
There are three featured homes this week—great for seeing "how the other half lives," as well as one gorgeous home priced for folks like you and me.
Check out these Geneva, Batavia and St. Charles homes!

Editor's note: This article might turn out to be the "Best of House Hunt," because Geneva Patch Editor Rick Nagel tried putting it together this week instead of Sandy, and I'm not sure whether one or more of these ran previously. They are all still for sale as of this writing, 1 p.m. Thursday.

We're also trying something a little different with House Hunt by featuring one home from each community: Geneva, Batavia and St. Charles.
But we're hoping you'll provide more!

Property details
Here's some descriptions and links:
Castle Drive, St. Charles — $4,750,000
I didn't see any description in the Aol link, but words don't describe this one. It's got five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and 40 acres. It's located on "Castle Drive," which is a pretty good indication of this property's value—it is a castle. I double-checked to make sure it wasn't the former home of Beach Boy Brian Wilson.
I love the Miscella site because it offers such great descriptions.
"This delightful Cape Cod was featured in Better Homes and Gardens for the beautiful landscape and gardens. Geneva Chamber selected this home for the Geneva Christmas Walk, and the Garden Club also featured these gardens on the Geneva Garden Walk. It is charming both inside and out. The year round sun room will be a favorite spot for relaxing or entertaining. There are two lovely bedrooms on the second floor and a full bath. The kitchen has a breakfast bar that looks out on the yard—a great spot for morning coffee! This location is close to downtown Geneva, the Metra and all that Randall Road has to offer. This home will hug you every day!"
2s546 Heaton Drive, Batavia — $869,900
"For those who dream of enchanting delights ... Dramatic pillared entrance leads you down the long, winding drive to this exceptionally gracious estate. A southern inspired wraparound front porch makes a statement of distinction for this home of matchless construction & appearance! Radiant heat flooring thru-out, 5 fp's, AMAZING kitchen, LUXURIOUS master, 5+garage, pond."
