Rare opportunity to own a charming home in an incredible location with claims to being one of the first homes to be built in Galena! Added onto at least four times over the years, 908 Park Avenue has origins tied to a log cabin dating back to fur trader Nehemiah Bates in the 1820's. With an amazing location featuring gorgeous in-town views from the front, and close proximity to two pedestrian bridges and Grant Park, the property offers incredible potential to be brought back to splendor with renovation. Idyllic covered front porch opens to main level housing formal entry foyer, large living room with wood flooring, open parlor space or family room, generous dining room, spacious kitchen, half bath, comfortable primary bedroom with adjoining full bath with laundry, and den/office to rear. Upper level consists of three additional cozy guest rooms and two hall storage closets. Rear of home has more covered porch space, lawn with fenced yard, integrated storage room with exterior access, and carport with concrete pad/drive that offers covered space for two vehicles that is accessed from alley behind. 908 Park Avenue offers a unique opportunity to restore a piece of Galena’s history and enjoy convenient access to the quaint shops, delightful eateries, and endless events of Downtown Galena at the same time. Sold "As-Is".
