Nestled in the heart of Geneva, this charming home offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort. Just a short walk from downtown, you'll enjoy the convenience of nearby shops, restaurants, and amenities.

Step inside to find beautiful trim and woodwork that add to the home's old-world charm. The main floor features soaring 9-foot ceilings and spacious living areas, including a generously sized living room that flows seamlessly into the dining room. The kitchen, remodeled about 14 years ago, is both functional and stylish, boasting stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, granite countertops, and a cozy eat-in space. Throughout the home, you'll find stunning hardwood floors that enhance its timeless appeal. Upstairs, three nicely sized bedrooms offer comfortable living spaces, while the hall bath retains its vintage charm with an original clawfoot tub and a separate shower. The backyard is a true retreat-deep, private, and fully fenced, with a paver walkway and patio perfect for outdoor gatherings. A 2 1/2 car garage provides ample storage and parking. Located in a great neighborhood, this home is a rare find that combines historic charm with modern conveniences.
