Balsitis Contracting has been recognized by the Lakeland Builders Association with the People’s Choice Award for its Modern Country new home in Lake Geneva that is part of the association’s 31st Annual Parade of Homes virtual event.
The Parade of Home’s tour, which was done for the first time virtually as a result of COVID-19, showcases eight homes through 3-D videos from premier builders throughout Walworth County, Wisconsin and the Lake Geneva area. In addition, there are seven new or updated single rooms or exterior spaces and five products for building, remodeling, or home maintenance that are part of the virtual tour.
The 3,500 square foot dwelling, designed by S A Petersen Architects Ltd. in North Barrington, Ill., is being used as a weekend retreat. With views of Geneva Lake, the home features vaulted ceilings in the living room, ship lapped walls in various locations throughout, a finished basement, a loft in between the main level bedrooms, and a second floor dedicated to a master suite.
The cabinetry throughout the home was manufactured by Geneva Cabinet Company, while the engineered hardwood flooring used throughout the main level was also produced locally by Bob’s Floor Covering. The kitchen countertops are Superwhite Leather Quartzite, while various types of tile were used throughout the home, including Carrara Marble White with a basket weave mosaic and a Villa Artisan frost ceramic tile. The deck was constructed using the Timbertech Edge Premier Collection.
“Our entire team is humbled and honored to receive the People’s Choice Award for the first six months of the Lakeland Builders Association Parade of Homes virtual event, as we’re extremely proud of this home,” said Joey Balsitis, Balsitis Contracting owner and chief executive officer. “Our clients were terrific to work with and we are thrilled we were able to build it in a way that exceeded their expectations.”
