About This Home
Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on over an acre of beautifully wooded surroundings, this extensively renovated 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath Galena Territory retreat with attached two car garage has been thoughtfully reimagined to deliver the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, functionality, and unforgettable guest experiences. From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, rich hardwood flooring, and an airy open-concept design create an inviting atmosphere ideal for gathering and entertaining. The stunning remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, expansive island with integrated roll-out dining table designed to comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests, premium appliances, attractive range hood, and seamless flow to the spacious living room anchored by a fireplace and dramatic wall of windows that floods the space with natural light. The main level also offers a beautifully updated primary suite with spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanity and luxurious tile shower, along with convenient laundry and powder rooms within close reach. Upstairs, three spacious guest suites each boast their own uniquely designed private bath, creating a boutique-lodge feel where every guest enjoys comfort and privacy. The finished walkout lower level expands the living and sleeping capacity with a fifth bedroom, full bath, large family and recreation area, secondary laundry hookup, and direct access to the recently poured patio with dedicated space for a future hot tub. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a recently renovated expansive deck with views overlooking the manicured setting beyond, perfect for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or simply enjoying nature, while the fire pit area invites memorable evenings beneath the stars. Designed with large groups and multigenerational gatherings in mind, the home comfortably accommodates up to twelve guests with six kind beds, while thoughtful touches such as under-bed storage, movable furnishings, and abundant guest amenities demonstrate the care invested in every detail. Recent improvements during current ownership tenure include updated siding, many windows and exterior doors, deck, asphalt driveway, kitchen appliances, water softener, furnace, air conditioning, radon fan, and more, providing peace of mind for years to come. Offered furnished with select exclusions and available via separate bill of sale, this mostly turnkey property enjoys full access to all Galena Territory amenities including Lake Galena, Owners' Club, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, tennis courts, trails, and more. Whether envisioned as a private family retreat, corporate getaway, or future guest accommodations opportunity subject to licensing requirements with Jo Daviess County (home is not currently licensed), this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, quality, flexibility, and resort-style living in private and park-like setting.
