The adjacent formal dining room offers picturesque wooded views, flowing seamlessly into the remodeled (2019) kitchen, which features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with glass doors, a trash compactor, and tile flooring—a true delight with direct access to the screened-in porch. The main-floor primary suite is a private retreat with direct access to the large deck, connecting to the screened-in porch—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The ensuite bath, fully remodeled in January 2025, features granite countertops, a double-sink vanity, and tasteful finishes. A half bath and laundry area complete the main level.

The lower level is made for entertaining, with a large family room featuring a floor-to-ceiling oak fireplace with brick surround, an adjoining game or lounge space, and two additional bedrooms, each with its own private bath. Recent updates include a new furnace/HVAC and water heater (2020), replaced front bay of and side windows (Nov 2024), new stairway banisters (2024), and new porch screens and panels (Feb 2025). A 2-car attached garage rounds out this impressive offering. Don’t miss your chance to own this gem in The Galena Territory!
