THIS HOME CHECKS ALL THE BOXES! Do you want to have coffee on the back sun-porch, overlooking the river, every single day?? On a lot that's HIGH above the waterline and NOT in the historic district? Do you want to live 7 blocks from downtown Geneva? Would you love living across the street from the gorgeous green space and the bike path in Wheeler Park? If so.... you must see this home! Arched doorways! 2 fireplaces. TONS of hardwood! Walk-out lower level. So much character and charm at every turn. Incredible, expansive views of the Fox River from the entire back of the home, on one of the largest lots on North First Street! Natural light galore! Tons of space for expansion if desired. Garage has a 1-car garage door but is a tandem garage. Turn-around-space at bottom of brick drive means you will never have to back onto First Street! This home has been in the same family for over 50 years and you will know why when you see it. This is one of very few homes on North First Street that hasn't been torn down....Don't skip the opportunity to see this very special property!
