Perched in Geneva’s coveted Historic South District with captivating views of Seneca Lake, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of timeless architectural elegance and sophisticated modern living. Just steps from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and an easy stroll to downtown’s acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and vibrant waterfront, the location is as remarkable as the home itself. Originally built in 1855, this distinguished property has undergone a comprehensive restoration and expansion beginning in 2018, thoughtfully preserving its historic character while introducing every contemporary luxury. The meticulously restored clapboard exterior is finished in rich, historically inspired colors, complemented by striking black-trimmed Marvin windows and doors, professionally designed landscaping, and an expanded private driveway. Inside, every detail reflects exceptional quality and craftsmanship. All major mechanical systems have been replaced, while beautifully appointed new baths and refined living spaces create an effortless balance of comfort and elegance. At the heart of the home, the expansive chef’s kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, featuring a dedicated prep kitchen, a wood-burning fireplace, and sweeping views toward Seneca Lake. French doors open to a generous rear porch, creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The formal living and dining rooms retain their historic charm with original marble mantels, now enhanced by inviting gas fireplaces that add warmth and ambiance. The thoughtfully expanded floor plan also includes a private garden-level guest suite, a radiant-heated attached two-car garage, and a spectacular second-floor primary suite offering serene lake views. A truly extraordinary offering, this residence is a masterful restoration where historic grandeur meets uncompromising modern luxury—creating one of Geneva’s most distinctive homes.
