Description
Truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Galena history featuring the original Miners Cottage built upon the land known as lot 78 on Gratiot Street (Dewey) acquired by Abner Eads in 1838. Abner Eads also acquired lot 77 in 1838 and was a Black Hawk war veteran (1832). Eads sold the land to CW Meyer (Company F 12th Illinois Infantry) who then passed in 1906. Jo Daviess County records show the Miner's Cottage was built in 1900 (later expanded upon). In the 1990's, the Studio home was built by Floyd McNealy adjacent to the Miner's cottage on lot 78 creating this exciting opportunity to own two homes. The Studio has a newer furnace and water heater. Later, an 80' workshop (with electricity) and a tool shed were built adjacent to the large off-street parking area. Overall, the two homes and two shed buildings sit upon .80 of an acre nestled above the Hughlett branch of the Galena River. The Miners Cottage features: a living room with wood flooring; a combination natural gas & wood burning stove; full bath with a claw foot tub; dining area; kitchen, two bedrooms; 1/2 bath; total living space comprising 816 square feet. The Studio home has an open floor plan with a kitchenette, living area, dining and a full bath, 384 square feet of living space. Beyond a studio, the home is ideal for an office, yoga, or whatever you're dreaming of. Explore the property and enjoy (from your screen porch) the wooded backdrop and sloping ravine down to and across the Hughlett branch. The branch represents a flood plain located significantly away and downhill from all of the buildings. Whether you're looking for a starter home, weekend getaway or even retire to a small City with big events, 728 Dewey offers many possibilities. 728 Dewey Avenue is being sold As Is and waiting for your fix up touches.
