Step into a slice of fantasy history -- this unique home was once owned by Gary Gygax, the legendary co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons and a founding force behind the modern role-playing game genre. Located just a few blocks from the pristine shores of Geneva Lake, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of pop culture history. The home is being sold ''As Is'' and in need of repairs/updating but with some TLC, this home could transform into a high-demand Airbnb or a charming full-time residence. The property's connection to the iconic D&D legacy offers incredible potential for a themed vacation rental. Let your imagination run wild...walkable access to the downtown coupled with historic roots and massive income potential, this is a true hidden gem waiting for its next chapter!
