About This Home

As of May 2025

Curb appeal, amazing location, generous room sizes, and a great value for the price, are the high notes of this solid 2-story in the heart of town. Situated on a corner lot, this property is close to parks, schools, and all things Geneseo! Hardwood floors, ornate woodwork, and modern updates in all the right places make this home even more desirable. You will love having a fenced backyard that is private, a relaxing front porch, and a patio that is perfectly shaded by your very own native tulip tree. The kitchen features granite counters and a new refrigerator in 2025. There is a fifth room that could be purposed as a bedroom, office, nursery, or whatever your heart desires. This one is absolutely worth a look. Don't delay, get your showing scheduled now! Per a previous listing, Roof 2009 and most windows have been replaced.
