Step back in time as you enter this Prairie Italianate home built in 1864. One of the earliest homes built in Geneva, this residence embodies the charm of the Italianate movement, which was popular in affluent regions during the mid-19th century. Recognized in the Kane County Gazette as one of Geneva's finest homes! Nestled on a sprawling lot, in-town Geneva, adorned with 35 mature trees the property offers a serene and picturesque setting. A tranquil koi pond and cascading waterfall enhance the natural charm. Two expansive wraparound porches invite you to relax while enjoying morning coffee or hosting an evening dinner. The original home faced the river which today serves as the backyard and the back of the home now faces Fifth with the addition of a large 4 car tandem garage. There is an abundance of storage in the garage, a newly fenced yard and newer exterior paint and roof. Inside, you will find intricate decorative moldings that highlight the home's elegance and attention to detail. The 11-foot ceilings create an airy, grand atmosphere, while the hardwood floors throughout add warmth and beauty. You will want to host elegant dinners in the dining room, retreat to the library with your favorite book and relax in the family/living rooms. The updated kitchen provides plenty of space to gather and create wonderful family meals. Up the curved staircase you will find plenty of bedrooms / baths for your family and guests. Enjoy the Geneva library, plenty of quaint shops, restaurants and train ~ everything Geneva offers. Make this your home - a living piece of Geneva history!
