Bay View Model Home Opens in Geneva for Waterfront Living

Design Build Inc. has opened a new Model Home & Design Center at 30 Bay View Terrace in the Bay View development on Geneva’s west side of Seneca Lake.

This blog post examines what the project offers from an architectural and engineering perspective. It covers design-build practices, home specifications, community amenities, and current market factors shaping buyer interest.

The development reflects a blend of site-friendly design and efficient construction methods. Modern infrastructure is designed to appeal to regional buyers seeking lakefront living with practical living spaces.

Bay View Model Home & Design Center: Location, Vision, and What It Means for the Region

Bay View offers one- and two-story homes ranging from 1,250 to 2,500 square feet. The model center showcases available layouts and finish options.

The project uses a hands-on design-build approach to streamline communication between design, permitting, and construction. This delivers a consistent quality standard across multiple homes in the phased development.

As the first two phases install utilities, Bay View moves at a deliberate pace tied to the local watershed, municipal services, and waterfront access. The community appeals to both first-time buyers and move-up buyers seeking lake views.

Construction quality, methods, and the design-build advantage

Jeff Curcio, the builder behind Bay View, focuses on on-site stick-built construction with Superior Walls basement systems. This combination delivers faster basement installs, higher moisture control, and greater structural precision.

Such methods are especially beneficial for lake-adjacent sites where soil conditions and drainage are important for long-term performance. Curcio brings more than two decades of building experience in Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes.

• On-site stick-built construction to optimize framing quality and on-site decision-making
• Superior Walls basements for improved moisture management, quicker turnarounds, and durable foundations
• Structured collaboration between design and field teams to maintain build timelines across multiple homes
• Attention to drainage, grading, and water management suitable for hillside and lake-adjacent sites

Homes, floor plans, and a focus on livability

Bay View homes feature practical layouts and modern conveniences for everyday living. The design emphasizes flexible spaces, first-floor usability, and natural light.

Homes are organized to maximize storage, comfort, and easy maintenance. The scenic backdrop of Seneca Lake is preserved throughout the community.

• First-floor laundry rooms for convenient daily use
• Full basements with 9-foot ceilings and large egress windows to support finished or unfinished space
• Two-car garages integrated into the floor plans
• Primary bedrooms with ensuite baths and tiled walk-in showers

Community features, site design, and infrastructure

The Bay View community blends living spaces with landscape and recreation. Site design emphasizes pedestrian-friendly streets, natural amenities, and lake views.

Built-in amenities and infrastructure support quality of life and low-maintenance living for residents.

• Sidewalks, ponds, and wooded trails woven into the master plan
• Neighborhood park and curated green spaces for social and outdoor activities
• Lake views that are central to the development’s appeal
• Municipal water and sewer utilities to reduce on-site infrastructure concerns
• Fiber optic internet to support modern home offices and smart-home integration

Phase progress, lots, and opportunities for buyers

Utilities are installed in the first two of five planned phases. There are 29 lots currently available for buyers.

Some lots offer wooded surroundings or direct Seneca Lake views. A spec home is already listed for sale, and additional homes are under contract.

Market context, model center hours, and how to learn more

According to Susan Coyne, Director of Sales and Interior Design, mortgage interest rates have stabilized. Buyers are carefully evaluating fees and rate options.

This environment reinforces the value of Bay View’s design-build package. The package aims to reduce post-purchase surprises and provide clear, value-driven options.

The Model Home & Design Center is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Other days are available by appointment.
