Rare Downtown Geneva Opportunity - Bring Your Vision! Located on the prominent corner of Fifth and James Streets in the heart of downtown Geneva, this historic property offers a unique opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind single-family home in an incredible walk-to-everything location. Originally residential and utilized as professional office space for the past 30+ years, the property can be sold as a single-family home and deconverted back to residential use. Offering approximately 2,244 square feet, the existing layout provides generous living space with multiple rooms that could be reimagined as a living room, dining room, den, bedrooms, kitchen and more. The home will require renovation and deconversion to accommodate traditional residential living. A detached 2-car garage adds valuable convenience. The outstanding downtown location is just blocks from Geneva's restaurants, boutiques, shopping, Metra station and Fox River. An incredible opportunity for a buyer looking to renovate and customize a distinctive downtown Geneva home while preserving its historic character. ***CASH ONLY SALE due to the property's current configuration and condition. Please note: the property is not currently configured for residential occupancy and does not have a kitchen or an above-grade full bathroom. ***
