Listing information updated 3/6/2026 at 3:03pm

Located in the historic district of Geneva, this 1928 Dutch Colonial offers 1,722 square feet of living space and is just a 2-block (4-minute) walk to the quaint downtown! The home features three bedrooms upstairs, including one with a private half bath and another with a balcony. A full bathroom completes the second floor. Original hardwood flooring remains in parts of the home, and special built-in features throughout the house add to its classic character. The main level includes a separate dining room with French doors leading to a sunroom, a family room with a gas fireplace, a cozy sitting alcove, and built-in bookshelves that reflect the home's original craftsmanship. The kitchen offers table space and a bay window, along with a double oven, gas cooktop, and dishwasher. The partially finished basement provides additional flexible space and includes another half bath. Outside, you'll find a large, fenced backyard and a 2-car detached garage. This home offers character, a functional layout, and a highly desirable location. While it needs TLC and updating, it presents a great opportunity to restore and personalize a classic home. Experience the best of Downtown Geneva. This isn't just a location; it's a lifestyle where historic 19th-century charm meets modern convenience. Imagine morning walks down picturesque, tree-lined streets, afternoons exploring the unique boutiques on Third Street, and dinners at some of the area's best independent restaurants. You're just steps away from the Fox River, local festivals, and a direct Metra line that makes trips to Chicago a breeze! Book your private showing today!
