Other features include a beamed ceiling, stone walls and a fireplace, and a wine closet. A former classroom, the upper level includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious den/sleeping loft. This beautifully landscaped property has a terrace, koi pond, mature trees, and a circular gravel driveway. It is ideal as a weekend home or the ultimate staycation. The hometown of President Ulysses S. Grant, Galena is known for its historic downtown, charming shops, superb dining, and nearby golf courses and skiing areas. It is located in the Illinois Driftless Area, a region noted for its high hills, deep river valleys and scenic beauty.
