Lake Geneva, WI – April 28, 2025 – Doug Paice, who owns a local painting company, and Kaelyn Kennedy, a flight attendant, were together but living in separate residences. Doug, in his single-family home in Williams Bay, and Kaelyn in her condominium in Mukwonago. Knowing they wanted to make a merger; the next question was where?
“I had driven through Stone Ridge for work several times, “said Doug. “The community was like nothing else in Lake Geneva, offering new construction on big homesites. We also had friends in the neighborhood who loved Stone Ridge and encouraged us to take a look.”
Now in its final phase, Stone Ridge, a Shodeen Homes’ community, is within walking distance of downtown Lake Geneva and its 5,400-acre lake with 26-mile shore path. Just west of Route 12 and north of 120, Stone Ridge offers ranch and two-story homes priced in the mid-$500s that range from 2,093 to 2,730 square feet in size with three or four bedrooms, two to 2.5 baths, gourmet island kitchens open to great rooms, full 8-foot basements, and two or three-car garages.
“We looked in Delavan, Lake Geneva and the surrounding areas and nothing compared with Stone Ridge,” Doug said.
“When we met Meg (Hewitt- Sales Manager for Stone Ridge) we were sold,” added Kaelyn. “She was knowledgeable, accommodating and with us through the entire process. If we wanted to change something or had a question, Meg got it done.”
Doug and Kaelyn chose the Sundance ranch, offering them 1,866 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two baths, full basement and a three-car garage.
“Our basement is huge, and we plan to finish it, which will double the square footage of our home,” Doug said. “We like to entertain so we extended the kitchenette area, after all that’s where everybody congregates. We also like the two big spare bedrooms on the opposite end of the house from the master bedroom.”
Having lived in the area Doug and Kaelyn were familiar with all it had to offer.
“Everything is here, there’s always so much to do,” said Doug. “We have a boat that we store in Fontana and use it every chance we get.”
Kaelyn has enjoyed meeting new friends in the neighborhood. “There is a group text with about 25 neighborhood women,” Kaelyn said. “We meet at the neighborhood park for gatherings with appetizers and drinks. We had an ornament exchange. We organize outings together in town. It’s been wonderful getting to know them.”
