About This Home

511 Park Avenue

Welcome to the Telford House, an impressive Greek Revival built in approximately 1850 and sited on .55 acre homesite. The home is prominently perched on Park Avenue facing and overlooking the Galena River and offering breathtaking panorama of downtown Galena and beyond. Relax on the front porch with your morning coffee as you enjoy the unique setting with one of the few locations on Park Avenue where the front of the home was built to view the West side Galena Skyline. Appreciate the amazing views from the stone stairs and dramatic pillared porch leading to the entry that opens to light and bright foyer with stunning marble flooring that leads to the main level featuring beautifully appointed kitchen with soapstone counters, shiplap wall accents, floating shelving, stainless steel appliances, farm sink with windowed views directly facing downtown Galena. You will notice the decorative fireplace with ornate mantle and subway tile surround, plus the stunning wood flooring that flows to a generous dining room, a comfortable bedroom with access to the adjacent full bath featuring a clawfoot tub, and another additional bedroom to the rear of the home. Ascend to the upper level that features a spacious master bedroom, another bedroom and a full bath with built-in storage, a surround shower and a walk-in closet, Venture to the finished lower level to enjoy the sweeping living room, warm and inviting family room, secondary kitchen with stainless steel appliances, vintage St. Charles cabinetry, stone wall backsplash, original log beam accents, granite countertops, a wet bar area, adjacent breakfast nook/dining area, full bath with shower, sidewalk out to parking area and huge screened porch. Gorgeous woodwork highlights the home, with original walnut railings on staircases. The "wishing well" has been restored from decorative to being able to draw water with the bucket. Plumbing has been recently updated by replacing the main cold water header and also replacing all galvanized pipe with copper. Home was previously featured in the Galena's Historic "Tour of Homes" combining history with architectural significance. Located convenient to the Galena river trail, Grant park, easy access to the pedestrian bridge for direct access to all the shopping, restaurants and activities of downtown Galena. Detached shed for garden tools and lawn equipment, concrete sidewalk from Park Avenue to the rear of the home with ample parking on an asphalt driveway that a portion of it is shared with adjoining property.
