About This Home

As of February 2024

Tucked at the end of a long gravel drive in a private setting sits this rustic Ridgetopper home offering a mix of modern finishes and vintage charm nestled amidst the trees on a .83 acre beautifully wooded lot adjoining huge greenspace to rear that offers added privacy and abundant natural surroundings all in a location in the heart of The Galena Territory just minutes from the Owners' Club and Lake Galena. Prepare to be wowed as you enter the light and bright main level featuring cozy living room with incredible amounts of glass that frame the stunning wooded views, cathedral ceilings with exposed beams highlighting the unique architecture, efficient galley kitchen with granite counters and prep island, nicely appointed full bath, generous guest bedroom, and comfortable primary bedroom with adjoining full bath offering tub/shower combo. Spiral staircase leads to finished partial lower level that houses more glass pulling the outdoors in, ample rec room/family room space, walk-out to yard and access to pedestal utility/laundry space. Expansive main level deck is a wonderful spot to enjoy the outdoors and take in the serene, wooded setting and incredible seasonal views. Lower level square footage is approximation. Sold furnished with some exclusions and to be transferred via separate bill of sale. Bedroom areas do not have egress windows.
