About This Home

As of December 2021

This is a unique opportunity to step back in time and own your own Historic 1800's cottage. Located in a quiet neighborhood in Galena, IL. not far from downtown and other amenities in and around the town of Galena. It was completely remodeled in 2008 with many upgrades so there will not be much for you to do so you can move right in, put your feet up and enjoy the neighborhood from your deck, or just relax in this upgraded cottage. The living room is located on the upper level and features a vent free gas fireplace with carbon monoxide shut off system. The roof is 30 year architectural shingles with new sheathing, furnace is high efficiency with central A/C, the siding has been upgraded to vinyl and insulation installed in the walls. The plumbing, wiring, cable and phone have all been upgraded and the new electrical service is 150 Amp. with breakers. The large kitchen has a stone wall exposing the stone that was installed in the 1800's to give that special feel of going back in time. The cabinets, countertop and plumbing were all installed in 2008. The kitchen has plenty of room for an island or table and all the appliances have been upgraded as well. The kitchen also features two nice sized windows with deep window wells which have also been replaced with Pella thermo-pane windows. The entire foundation has been restored with period stone as well as the stone windowsills. All the exterior walls and bathrooms have mildew resistant drywall, and all exterior walls have treated lumber, insulation and vapor barrier. The stack washer and dryer were new in 2012. Enjoy the wood deck off the upper level or the lower concrete patio that is street level. There is a large cement parking area in the back of the house that is big enough for 3+ cars for off street parking. The piece of property has also been approved for a 24x24 garage. The garden shed has electrical service Please note the adjacent property on Summit Street has been given a handicap access easement to cross the corner of the parking lot. Gas has been shut off to the gas fireplace.
