About this property

The John Sydney House - Family and Pet Friendly Historic Home Downtown

  • This classic Queen Anne Victorian has retained many original features that are just breathtaking! A grand oak staircase, original hardwood floors and trim, stained glass, French and Pocket Doors just to name a few. Staying here offers the traveler in search of history a uniquely clear connection to Hannibal's past, its place in time and to the local culture – with modern amenities! This historic home is also spacious and comfortable with a "parlor" as well as Living Room. The home is family & pet friendly.

    The home was built c. 1892, and is located on Center Street, known for its great collection of historic homes. Located just a few blocks from Hannibal's thriving Main Street and the historic downtown waterfront, situated within Hannibal's Historic District next to many other grand homes.

    The main Level includes a formal Dining Room that connects to the Kitchen, and powder room. A large deck is located off the Kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, each with a Queen size bed, and private sink. The upstairs bathroom has a claw foot tub with a tub / shower combination. Second floor washer / dryer.

    Take a walking tour to see the many Victorian and Federal style homes on Center Street and the Historic District! You are blocks away from Mark Twain's boyhood home, the Mississippi River and the many amenities of downtown Hannibal, the scene of many weekend events. Lots of local shops and local color! Great parks and open spaces are nearby, and opportunities for outdoor recreation. The area is filled with natural beauty ready for exploration.
