About This Home

Well maintained, extensively updated, and thoughtfully upgraded 4 bed, 3.5 bath rural retreat tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac on 5.23 scenic acres offering breathtaking panoramas, sweeping countryside views, and a peaceful setting just minutes outside Galena near Horseshoe Mound. Inviting covered front porch welcomes you into a light-filled main level featuring a spacious living room with soaring cathedral ceilings, cozy fireplace, updated lighting, and new carpet that flows beautifully throughout the primary spaces. The fully renovated kitchen is a true showstopper, highlighted by soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, custom island, stylish backsplash, newer appliances including refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and vent hood, plus a built-in pantry, all opening to a bright dining area with expansive windows and sliding door access to the updated composite deck with sleek metal railing and added stairs, ideal for taking in the incredible views or entertaining outdoors. The main level also hosts a generous primary suite with walk-in closet and refreshed bath featuring updated vanity and fixtures, convenient laundry with access to the attached two-car garage, and a well-appointed half bath. Upstairs offers two comfortable bedrooms with added ceiling fans, a full bath, and an airy loft overlooking the living space ideal for a relaxing nook or workspace. The recently finished lower level (2023-24) dramatically expands the living area with radiant in-floor heat, a large family/recreation room, additional bedroom, full bath, and versatile flex room for office, gym, or hobbies, along with walkout access to the added poured concrete patio and backyard. Outside, enjoy a beautiful landscape with a mix of grass, meadow, and mature trees, two acres fenced, and abundant wildlife across rolling terrain. Attached two car garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage, and asphalt drive allows for plenty of additional outdoor parking. Major mechanical and infrastructure upgrades including newer furnace and A/C, radon mitigation system, whole house water filtration, updated shingles and gutters, and newer water heater provide peace of mind, while cosmetic updates throughout make this home truly move-in ready. A rare opportunity to enjoy refined country living with modern updates, privacy, and convenience in a desirable rural subdivision with easy access to all the shopping, dining and events of Galena! Covenants and restrictions apply.
