About 53 E Bayard St
Welcome to 53 E Bayard Street, a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history in the heart of Seneca Falls. This charming and thoughtfully updated property offers a versatile layout that works beautifully as an income-producing duplex or as a single-family home with in-law potential.

Today, the property stands as a quiet tribute to her legacy in a town rich with historic relevance. The larger unit features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, along with a stunning kitchen complete with a large island that opens seamlessly into the formal dining room and living room. You'll also find beautifully updated bathrooms, convenient first floor laundry, original hardwood floors, and a dedicated office or library with custom shutters. The second unit offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, making it an ideal space for rental income, guests, or extended family. It includes brand-new appliances, first floor laundry, and a comfortable, efficient layout that mirrors the quality and care of the main unit. Both units are equipped with mini-split heating and cooling, with a gas furnace and hot water boiler as backup. Other recent improvements include a new roof, a new sewer line from the basement to the street, a new Bilco basement door, a brand-new front porch, and new gutters to be installed prior to closing. The property also features generous off-street parking and a prime location across from a local bakery and just steps from downtown shops, restaurants, and scenic Van Cleef Lake.
