Property Description
A HISTORIC TREASURE! This is an opportunity to own one of Geneva's oldest homes, just steps from the Fox River and the best of Geneva's downtown. In 1866, an Irish railroader named Thomas Clancy built this home of locally-quarried limestone. More than 150 years later, today's homeowner can enjoy a riverside retreat among landscaped flowerbeds and ponds, while the interior has special sound insulation including double-walled construction to keep the outside hubbub away. The current owners have updated this home for today's lifestyle by adding a modern kitchen & family room and creating another level of living in the basement. There are so many opportunities for enjoying your unique location, with multiple rooms offering expansive views of your wooded, in-town retreat, including a light-filled room and bathroom above the garage. This historic home has withstood the test of time and truly offers a respite from the busy world. Make this chapter of Geneva's history part of your own story!
