Perched atop Galena's "Quality Hill" is this stunning historic brick Bed and Breakfast known as the Hellman Guest House. Built in 1895 by the Hellman family, this Queen Anne Victorian home has everything; from its original historic features to its far reaching views of Grant Park on Galena's east side and beyond, this home is sure to amaze you in every way. Enjoy and appreciate it's stunning original wood work, stained/leaded glass windows, horsehair plaster walls, and hardwood floors throughout much of the home. Relax in one of the many outdoor entertaining spaces, be it watching the annual fireworks show from the spacious covered front porch, or taking in a campfire on the back patio while the water feature trickles behind you in the cozy yard area. This Bed and Breakfast is a favorite of many due to its close proximity to downtown Galena and all of its amenities. Upstairs you'll find 4 spacious suites each with their own private bathroom. The large walk up attic is currently used for storage but let your imagination run wild and see the potential for possible future plans of finishing it off into an incredible living space. The lower level is very clean and houses the Owner's Quarters with a private bedroom, living room area, laundry, full bath, and lots of storage. This beauty is being sold mostly furnished (few exceptions) so you can get started running your own Bed and Breakfast today! Ask your agent for a list of furnishings included with the home. Most fireplaces have been closed off and not used by the owner. Due to the nature of the property being operated as a business and often having guests onsite, sellers request proof of a pre-approval from lender or cash proof of funds letter from qualified buyers. Call today to line up your personal tour of this stunning historic home.
