About this property
Historic 98 •Fire Pit, Game Room, & Dog Friendly
Summary:
This historically significant property c 1813, is beautifully restored. Not only will you never be short of things to do at The Historic 98, but you will never be short of things to do in Geneva and on Seneca Lake! When you are not enjoying this 4 Bedroom 3 and a half bath home with two living spaces, a game room and fire pit, enjoy everything the Finger Lakes has to offer! From downtowns local shops, restaurants, tasting rooms, and cafes to winery/brewery touring, boat rentals, and more!
The Space:
The guest are welcome to use the entire property inside and out. It’s such a wonderful space to gather.
Enter the home through the side door and be greeted by the well equipped eat in kitchen! Enter the first living room to your right or follow the hall to the second living room, first floor bathroom and game room! Play pool or darts, read one of the hundreds of books, sing your heart out with karaoke or dance under the lights of two disco balls in this fun packed game space! Through the game room you will find a door to the back yard with outdoor games, fire pit and grill! Back in the house, on the first floor, you will find ample living space to play board games, cozy up by the fire or watch your favorite shows on either smart TV! You will also find a formal dining room that will transport you back 200 years!
Upstairs you will find the 2 large queen bedrooms with beautiful ensuites, as well as 2 additional bedrooms and bathroom.
This property is not only amazing and located so close to downtown Geneva, but has an amazing history! This home was built by Robert Troup, a revolutionary war soldier, a judge of the United States District Court for NY, and a Western New York land agent and Manager of the Pulteney Land Office (Next Door). It's noted that Troup was a lifelong friend of Alexander Hamilton and college roommates with both Hamilton and Aaron Burr at Kings College.
This property is perfect for couples, families or friends! Take a trip back in time and visit the beautiful Historic 98!
