Own a piece of Finger Lakes history with Geneva’s Historic Macberns House. A stately 1830’s brick row home overlooking Seneca Lake in the heart of the South Main Street District. The district is a nationally recognized area with buildings dating back to 1825–1850, showcasing Greek Revival, Victorian, and late-19th/20th-century revival architecture. As a designated a Historical Landmark, this architectural gem offers over 4,500 sq ft across three levels and has undergone over $250,000 in recent improvements, including fully renovated kitchens, bathrooms, and professionally designed interiors. The two upper floors have been converted into fully furnished Airbnb suites with an established booking history. Future reservations and all furnishings, fixtures, décor, and appliances are included in the sale. The lower-level unit is tenant-occupied, providing stable long-term income. The property features original hardwood floors, seven wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, a fenced courtyard with stone patio, and a detached garage. Laundry is located in the basement. Enjoy Seneca Lake views and unmatched walkability to downtown shopping, restaurants, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, and the Smith Opera House. With historic charm, modern updates, and turn-key investment potential, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the Finger Lakes’ most iconic homes. The Macberns House delivers with history, elegance, and income—all in one unforgettable package.
