A truly extraordinary opportunity to own one of Geneva's significant historic homes, offered to the market for the first time since 1964. Lovingly held by the same family for more than six decades, this remarkable riverfront residence is rich with history, character, and architectural charm. Set on an exceptionally wide lot beneath a canopy of beautiful mature trees, the property enjoys breathtaking river views and an unparalleled location just moments from downtown Geneva, parks, bike paths, dining, shopping, and everything that makes this community so special. Offering more than 5,200 square feet of finished living space, the home features six bedrooms, 5.1 baths, three fireplaces, gorgeous hardwood floors, paneled walls, beautiful built-ins, and gracious rooms filled with timeless detail. Two primary suites-one on the main level and another on the second floor-each feature their own fireplace, providing wonderful flexibility for multigenerational living. An additional in-law suite is thoughtfully separated from the main living quarters, creating even more possibilities for extended family, guests, or private living space. This is not simply a home-it is a rare piece of Geneva history awaiting its next chapter. With its extraordinary riverfront setting, expansive lot, irreplaceable architectural details, and exceptional walk-to-town location, the possibilities are remarkable. An incredible opportunity for a buyer who appreciates historic character and is ready to thoughtfully reimagine this very special property and make it their own for generations to come.
