Description

A warm Galena welcome awaits you at 906 Park Avenue, a beautiful brick, Italianate styled, two-story distinguished historic home in Galena. The home was constructed in 1855-1859 by Captain Edward H. Beebe, Steamboat Captain, with a brick addition added to the rear of the house in 1869. In 1967, a two-story frame was added to the rear brick addition to further enhance interior living space and reflect modern living. The owners have made this their loving home for over 60 years while impeccably maintaining and improving it throughout. From the front porch, you can enjoy the views of Galena, easy access to Grant Park, the Galena River and Kayak launch, as well as a quaint eatery just down the street. Upon entering, the living room features high ceilings, a wood burning fireplace and large windows which all flow to the similarly featured dining area with a tin ceiling. The contemporary eat-in kitchen is complimented by wood floors and an adjoining screened-in porch offering a spot for relaxation and outdoor dining. Continuing to the family room, an exposed brick wall and wood floors are showcased, this area is meant to be enjoyed as a gathering place, to read, or to catch up on favorite shows. Off the family room there is access to both the basement (mechanicals & laundry) and to the back yard. Completing the main floor off the entry, is a hallway leading to a half bathroom. Ascending to the upper level with high ceilings throughout and original pine wood floors, you’ll find four bedrooms. The primary bedroom with a tin ceiling, primary full bathroom, three guest bedrooms and a second full bathroom. Each of the bedrooms offer many windows with an abundance of natural light. The fourth bedroom also offers a washer/dryer, a tremendous convenience! Note: There is a walk-up attic for storage and hobbies. Returning to outside, the backyard has Purington brick pavers, a basketball hoop, two-car garage, concrete driveway and alley access. Recent improvements include new boiler (2026), newer central A/C (2016), newer 30 year roof shingles (2011), water softener (leased through Culligan 2024), dehumidifier (2025) two Tempstar AC mini-split units assisting with servicing the frame addition. Please know that 906 Park Avenue’s location is uniquely positioned for excellent access to downtown shopping, dining, entertainment and strolls of historic Galena celebrating it's Bicentennial (1826-2026)!
