About the Listing 30464 - 624,244825

IMAGINE THIS...Imagine stepping into a home built in 1854, when Geneva was just beginning to grow and the railroad had arrived only a year earlier. Nearly 170 years later, this remarkable home beautifully blends its rich history with thoughtful updates and sophisticated modern living. Originally, the home featured a parlor and three bedrooms on the main level, with the kitchen, dining room, and storage below. The lower level was constructed from locally quarried limestone, a nod to the natural resources found along the Fox River and to the craftsmanship of the era. Over the decades, the home has evolved while retaining its character and sense of place. Most recently, the kitchen and both bathrooms were beautifully renovated in 2022 - and the results are truly exceptional. The magazine-worthy bathrooms showcase gorgeous, upscale design choices and luxurious finishes. The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and built-in banquette seating beneath a distinctive barrel ceiling - a space that is as beautiful as it is inviting. A side entrance off Franklin Street leads into a bright and welcoming sunroom, where large windows frame peaceful views of the backyard. This versatile space also provides convenient access to the garage. The lower level offers even more living space, including a comfortable family room overlooking the gardens, a third bedroom, and a flexible workroom or office - or whatever space best suits your lifestyle. And then there's the lower-level bathroom... just wait until you see it. It is truly off the charts. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard creates a private oasis in the heart of downtown, complete with a charming gazebo where you can enjoy the outdoors in comfort, without the bugs. And the location? It doesn't get much better. Set in the heart of downtown Geneva, you can walk to the town's wonderful restaurants, boutiques, and everyday conveniences. The Metra station and Fox River are just three blocks away, putting both transportation and recreation right at your doorstep. A home with nearly 170 years of stories, beautifully reimagined for today. Historic character, exceptional design, and an unbeatable downtown Geneva location - this is a truly special property.
