About This Home

As of September 2022

Beautiful 4 + bedroom, 3 bath 1829 historic home boasting one of the most sought after locations in Galena, just one block above the heart of Main Street. Not only is there off-street parking; a 2 car garage is included. The lovely landscaped front yard offers a nice distance from the sidewalk while relaxing on the lovely 2 level front porch or looking through the floor to ceiling windows in the living room. The main floor has a bedroom and full bath. Perfect for guests. The second floor has a huge master bedroom with its own bath, 2 more bedrooms and the 3rd bath. The 3 season room on the second floor surrounds you with a woods-like setting and the private side patio is a peaceful get-a-way. This home was completely gutted and renovated over the last two years. Virtually everything had to go and the house layout was redesigned. All plumbing, electric, duct work, furnace, water heater, central air and roof (2019) have been replaced. Insulation and new windows were installed. Included in the total sq ft is 416 sq ft of finished attic currently used as 2 cute tandem bedrooms. Live comfortably while appreciating the history.
