Geneva, NY 14456

Perched in Geneva's prestigious Historic South District with view of Seneca Lake, this exceptional 1855 residence seamlessly blends timeless architectural elegance with the finest in modern luxury. Just steps from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and a short walk to downtown's acclaimed dining, boutiques, and vibrant waterfront, the location is second to none. Thoughtfully restored and expanded beginning in 2018, the home has undergone a comprehensive renovation that preserves its historic character while delivering today's most desirable amenities. The restored clapboard exterior is complemented by historically inspired colors, black-trimmed Marvin windows and doors, professionally designed landscaping, and an expanded private driveway. Inside, every major mechanical system has been replaced, and the beautifully reimagined interior offers refined finishes, generous living spaces, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The heart of the home is an expansive chef's kitchen with a separate prep kitchen, opening to a welcoming family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Large doors lead to an expansive rear porch overlooking Seneca Lake, creating an extraordinary setting for entertaining and everyday living. The formal living and dining rooms showcase original marble mantels with elegant gas fireplaces, preserving the home's rich heritage while adding warmth and sophistication. The thoughtfully expanded floor plan also features a private garden-level guest suite, an attached two-car garage with radiant heated floors, and a luxurious second-floor primary suite with breathtaking lake views. A rare opportunity to own one of Geneva's most distinguished historic homes, where impeccable restoration, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern comfort come together in an extraordinary urban setting.
