Nagel Home in Parade of Homes

Friday, November 28, 2008 9:53 PM CST

The 15th annual Holiday Parade of Homes will be held on Sunday, Dec. 7, and include the modern home of Eric and Linnea Nagel, 905 Shamrock Lane.

The Nagels purchased their home in May this year. After experiencing condo living in Pewaukee for the past two years, the couple decided to relocate to Watertown to be closer to family and friends.

The 2,400-square-foot split ranch built by Willow Creek features a master bedroom suite with French doors off the kitchen with solid dark surface countertops, a spacious living room with a fireplace, two guest bedrooms, a den and a fully finished basement.

Christmas is Linnea's favorite time of the year. In fact, when the couple was looking for houses in Watertown the running joke was always “just how many trees could this house hold?” Last year for Christmas Linnea put up four Christmas trees in their small condo.

This year there is a tree in almost every room of the house. Each is themed to match the décor of the room. The main floor features a den with French doors the couple calls the “Latte Lounge” complete with a java-themed Christmas tree.
