A truly remarkable piece of Geneva history, the William Smith Inn offers a rare opportunity to own the former home of William Smith, founder of William Smith College, on more than 3 acres in the heart of the city. Built in 1873 and attributed to noted architect Andrew Jackson Warner, this substantial brick residence has been thoughtfully maintained while preserving the craftsmanship and architectural detail that make it so distinctive. Inside, more than 6,500 square feet showcases soaring ceilings, tall windows, extensive original millwork, chestnut doors, beautiful hardwood and parquet flooring, multiple fireplaces and an impressive central staircase. Generous formal living and dining spaces are complemented by spacious guest rooms and updated baths, creating a home that feels historic without sacrificing everyday function. Today the property operates as the established William Smith Inn, with a layout well suited to continued hospitality use, multigenerational living, or conversion back to an exceptional private residence. Separate owners’ quarters provide their own kitchen, living spaces, bedrooms and baths, allowing the public and private portions of the property to function independently. Outside, the scale of the setting is nearly as impressive as the house itself. The expansive 3+ acre parcel offers sweeping lawns, mature trees, a circular drive and remarkable privacy for an in-city property. A substantial separate two-story garage provides additional parking, storage, workshop and upper-level space. From its connection to William Smith and the founding of William Smith College, to its later decades as the Church Home and its present life as an inn, this property has remained part of Geneva’s story for more than 150 years. An extraordinary combination of history, architecture, acreage and flexibility, offering a rare opportunity in the heart of Geneva and the Finger Lakes.
