About This Home

As of January 2016

Unique historic property offering the potential to live and work in the same location, offering amazing U.S. 20/Spring Street visibility and close proximity to Main St., Galena. Meticulously kept Historic log cabin with frame addition has undergone extensive renovation and restoration over the years and is absolutely charming, rustic, and warm. From the moment you enter you see wide plank wood flooring of varying width that spans nearly the entire house. Front door opens to cozy sitting area/family room with beamed ceiling accents and large dining room with space to entertain. Spacious living room with lots of light feeds to main level bedroom with large closet. Kitchen offers functional prep space and dramatic exposed log beams, along with convenient access to laundry area and stairs to basement. Updated bath with tile surround shower with built-in window complete the main floor. Upper level houses a relaxing sitting area, bedroom, and updated bath with shower enclosure. Rear of property has spacious patio with stone retaining wall and potential for garden and yard space on the hillside above which has stairway access. The Historic brick shop has also undergone extensive renovation and is light, bright, and beautiful. Display area features wainscoting, stunning red oak, wood floors, large windows, and naturally flows to rear work space. Upper level has a sitting area and office room or storage. Shop is heated by gas fireplace but does have supplemental electric baseboard, and is cooled by window a/c. Last but not least, a newer garage with cement board siding sits between the shop and house, and has a concrete parking pad as well. Per City of Galena: shop building is currently zoned as Low Density Residential, which is intended for Single Family uses. However, it has a grandfathered use as an art and jewelry shop, so Indoor Sales and Service of the same intensity could be continued subject to approval by City of Galena and terms and conditions thereof. Additional info on file. It is currently not connected to city water or sewer, but the potential does exist. Maps also available pertaining to Spring St. renovation.
