555 Main Street, Geneva-City

A sparkling gem in Geneva’s Historic District, overlooking Seneca Lake, steps from the campus of Hobart and William Smith Colleges and a short walk to downtown and the vibrant lakefront. This striking home combines a rich architectural history with all the contemporary features for high-quality city living. Built in 1855, it has been completely renovated and expanded, beginning in 2018. Outside, the original clapboard was refurbished and finished in rich historic colors. Black-trimmed Marvin windows and doors were installed throughout, and tasteful landscaping and an expanded private driveway completed the exterior transformation. Inside, the renovations included all new mechanicals, new bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen to the family room that features a separate prep kitchen and wood-burning fireplace overlooking a large rear porch facing Seneca Lake. Gas fireplaces with original marble mantels provide extra atmosphere to the living room and dining room. The expanded home includes a garden level suite, two-car attached garage with radiant floor heating, and a spacious second floor master-suite facing the lake. A remarkable story in historic renovation with modern amenities.
