About This Home

As of February 2026

Motivated Sellers-Purchased another home & needs to sell - bring your offers! Lots of renovations already completed on this home, nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Galena Territory, this charming 2 bedroom + loft that Owners use as a bedroom, is where cozy comfort meets nature's tranquility. Set on a wooded 0.86-acre lot with no through traffic, the property feels like your own private hideaway—yet it backs to miles of scenic trails waiting to be explored. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the care & thoughtful updates that have gone into this home since 2022. New siding, windows, & some flooring bring a fresh feel. The kitchen & bathrooms have been stylishly remodeled, so you can settle in & enjoy from day one. The heart of the home is the light-filled living room, where soaring cathedral ceilings & expansive windows invite the outdoors in. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, perfect for chilly evenings or curling up with a book after a day on the trails. Just off the dining area, a cozy deck makes grilling & entertaining effortless, while a second partial wraparound deck overlooks a backyard firepit & serene woods-ideal for stargazing or s'mores with friends. The main entry level features two welcoming bedrooms, a full bath, & a laundry room with a convenient mop sink. Upstairs, a spacious 22' x 15'6 loft offers flexible space for guests, an office, or a creative retreat w/ closet & built in bookcases. Practical updates include a Bluetooth-enabled thermostat, a furnace that's approximately 5-6 years old, & a roof replaced around 2018. A one-car attached garage & exterior storage shed providing plenty of room for gear, tools, or seasonal decor.
