Description

Exquisite, character-filled home where elegance meets modern comfort. This Queen Ann Style home was built in 1884 by William Hoskins who owned one of the most successful lumber companies in the area. Located on Park Avenue, the house boasts of original hardwood floors throughout. The spacious living room has French doors that open to a relaxing family room with an electric fireplace. The second set of French doors lead into another living space that features a gas fireplace and bay window. The galley kitchen offers efficient use of space while maintaining an inviting atmosphere adjacent to the cozy dining room, ideal for intimate meals and family gatherings. In addition, the kitchen has a door that leads to a large pantry and access to the side yard. Along with a pantry there is the laundry room off of the kitchen. A standout wooden staircase leads to four generously sized bedrooms; each designed with comfort and style in mind with plenty of closet space. You will notice the charming, beveled glass door that leads to the back porch. Beveled glass also enhances the bay window in the front of this home. A walk-up attic and a large basement provide for plenty of additional storage. The beauty of the outside of this home features decorative trim and cornice details. A beautiful setting on four lots, you are right next to the entrance of Galena's Grant Park. Enter the park and cross over the pedestrian bridge to downtown Galena with its many shops, restaurants and activities. Wandering out the backside of the home are many mature trees, perennials and path down towards the river. Adding to the charm is a small playhouse with the backdrop of Grant Park. Enjoy sitting on the attractive front porch while sipping your morning coffee or afternoon tea and watch the world go by. One of the best locations in Galena with Grant Park as your neighbor, you will enjoy this rare find.
