About This Home

As of September 2022

Views, views, and more views! Carefully sited amidst the trees on .98 acre manicured homesite sits this striking 4 bed/3.5 bath elegantly attired contemporary retreat offering breathtaking elevated vistas, light flooded rooms, incredible use of glass, dramatic architecture with tower lookout, and clear attention to detail throughout. Warm and inviting covered front porch greets you upon approach and opens to airy main level featuring towering entry foyer, great room style living area with soaring ceilings and huge upper and lower windows that pull the outside in, beautiful wood flooring, and two sided fireplace shared with adjacent sun room surrounded with windows, generous dining area with ample room to entertain plus direct access to huge screened porch and expansive rear composite deck, modern kitchen with gorgeous cabinetry with glass doored accents, gas cooktop, double oven, and eat-at island with plenty of prep space, and spacious master suite with its own access to rear deck, walk-in closet and vanity station, and nicely appointed master bath offering additional vanity, whirlpool tub, and tile surround shower. Stunning central staircase spanning four levels leads to second floor that houses two comfortable guest bedrooms (one of which has its own private deck) and nicely appointed bath with cathedral ceiling and tile surround tub/shower combo. Ascend one more level and prepare to be wowed by the tower room, a unique space with glass everywhere you turn that highlights the unparalleled views of the scenic beauty, rolling hills and treed ridges of Jo Daviess countryside and far beyond in several directions. Finished walkout lower level houses large family room with access to rear flagstone patio, additional guest bedroom, full bath, and two large concrete floored crawlspaces offering an amazing amount of storage. Bang & Olufsen whole house sound system runs throughout the entire house (including tower) and offers portable controller for ease of use. Two new water heaters installed July 2022. Enjoy the outdoors and take in the surrounding nature from several outdoor spaces that include the main level deck, private second floor deck, covered front porch and lower patio. Exterior is highlighted by meticulous landscaping and use of stone with limestone steps leading to the lush yard behind. Asphalt drive feeds to two car attached garage with room for vehicles and storage. Location offers convenient access to all the amenities of The Galena Territory, including Lake Galena and Owners' Club with indoor pool, outdoor pool, fitness facility, multi-purpose gym, and outdoor tennis courts, and sits just down the road from Eagle Ridge's "The General" Golf Course and recently renovated Highlands Restaurant and Lounge. Just a short drive to all the shopping, dining and festivities of downtown Galena. Square footage is approximate. Sold nicely furnished and to be transferred via separate bill of sale. *Lot has 6 dimensions. Small arc near driveway is 46.08 and the small, angled side of 32.09. Square footage is approximate.
