Nancy Bates presents another fine home located at:

218 South Second Street, Geneva


"Historic Charmer With Room to Grow"
$ 464,900

In the heart of picturesque historic Geneva, stands the Alexander House designated by the Geneva Historical Society as a significant landmark. During its history, it has had two extensive remodels, one in 1886 when it was turned from a barn into a residence and another in 1940. Today many of the original features of the 1940 remodel exist in the extensive hardwood floors, doors, millwork and hardware. In addition, many upgrades have been made in the last five years, such as the first floor bath, kitchen and sun porch, to make this home very today friendly without destroying its historic character. Sitting on a third of an acre, the city would allow expansion of living space up to 3550 sq. ft. Location puts one within three blocks of everything: three blocks to the heart of downtown with its shopping and fine dining, three blocks to the river and access to miles of bike and walking trails, and three blocks from the train to downtown Chicago.
