Property Description
Location, location, location! Charming 3 bed, 2 bath historic frame perched on idyllic Park Avenue and offering gorgeous rear-facing seasonal views looking over the Galena River valley and of downtown Galena, off street parking, lots of outdoor spaces with huge yard, and location convenient to Galena River Trail, Grant Park, and two pedestrian bridges for easy access to all the shopping, dining and events of Main Street, Galena!! Embrace incredible Galena history with research as part of the Galena Living History Alliance Plaque Program suggesting the home was owned and constructed by Otis S. Horton (Carpenter) in 1871. Inviting covered front porch opens to upper level that houses a spacious primary bedroom, generous guest bedroom, cozy rear bedroom with cedar closet, large full bathroom with tub/shower combo, and access to covered side deck that offers a great spot to take in the beautiful Galena views. Main level features open kitchen with ample cabinetry and counter space, eat-at breakfast bar, and adjoining pantry/storage, inviting living room with rich wood flooring and woodstove with tile hearth and brick accent wall behind, half bath/laundry room combo, and back sitting room with walkout door to concrete side parking and sweeping rear yard with fencing on either side. Sizeable in-ground basement/cellar functions as utility room and workshop space. Enjoy the outdoors, lovely surround, and scenic views from the aforementioned covered front porch, rear elevated covered deck, lower patio or wonderful yard space. New water heater installed January 2025. *Assessor records show age of home as 1940, but home dates back well before 1900. For some neat history, check out the window etching in the primary bedroom, possibly done and dated by original owners.
