About This Home

Charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage set on a generous homesite spanning two lots, beautifully positioned against a wooded backdrop overlooking the valley of Hughlett Branch of the Galena River. This inviting property offers a detached one-car garage, an additional off-street parking pad, and a highly desirable location just a few blocks from historic Main Street Galena. The main level features a bright sunroom entry that opens directly into the dining area, which flows seamlessly into the expansive living room. The spacious living room showcases gorgeous wood flooring and offers ample space for both entertaining and everyday relaxation. The open dining area highlights stunning built-ins, while a cozy guest bedroom and a comfortable primary bedroom with windowed surround with divided-light frames serene wooded views. A nicely appointed and conveniently located full bath serves the main level. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and excellent functionality. The lower level includes a laundry/mud room with walk-out access to the rear yard, a workshop alcove, and abundant storage space, along with an integrated exterior storage area accessible from the lower rear. Outdoor living is enhanced by a covered porch and side deck, ideal for enjoying the tranquil surroundings, abundant nature, and gorgeous treed views. The detached one-car garage provides space for both parking and storage, with additional parking available on the front-left parking pad. A wonderful opportunity in an excellent location, offering easy access to downtown Galena’s shopping, dining, events, and year-round activities
