About This Home

As of September 2024

Timeless elegance and incredible history mixed with a modern flair! Welcome to 305 Park Avenue, a beautifully remodeled and tastefully updated 4 bed, 2.5 bath historic frame once the home of Civil War General William Rowley, set in a prime location perched overlooking The Galena River and offering and absolutely breathtaking panoramas of Downtown Galena and beyond! Inviting covered entry opens to grand view of staircase and center hall that feeds to bright main level that houses generous living room with stunning pine floors, tall windows and ceilings, and decorative fireplace, large dining room with ample room to entertain that mirrors the living room with more pine floors, tall ceilings and windows that flood the space with natural light, gorgeous modern kitchen with quartz counters, stainless appliances, sleek cabinetry, center island with sink and access to pantry with additional prep counter, mini-fridge and beverage chiller, conveniently located and nicely appointed powder room, and large family room with soaring, wood clad ceilings and direct access to expansive rear deck and pool area. Retreat to the upper level either by front or rear staircase to find spacious primary bedroom, cozy rear bedroom that could be utilized as additional space for primary bedroom if a sitting room is desired, two comfortable guest bedrooms, laundry area, upper level covered porch with incredible views, and two luxurious full bathrooms with marble flooring, one with a relaxing soaking tub and the other with a tile surround shower with multiple sprays. Meander outside to take a dip in the pool or relax and unwind on the sweeping deck with ample room to enjoy the scenic setting and take in the wonderful views from a private, fenced setting. Manicured grounds with landscaped accents highlight the exterior with picket fence and stone retaining walls greeting you upon approach. Detached one car garage and concrete parking area to side provide plenty of space to park. An absolute prime location on Park Avenue, a street known for its historic charm and proximity to Downtown Galena, that offers easy access to Grant Park, two pedestrian bridges, quick access to the Galena River Trail and all the shopping, dining and events of Main Street. Truly an incredibly unique opportunity to own a piece of Galena's rich heritage that also offers some of the best views of the cityscape around!
