5 Redwing Ct Galena, IL 61036

Frank Lloyd Wright would have no problem calling this home! The location features a commanding view of The Galena Territory and the rural countryside of Jo Daviess County. Despite being only 1⁄2 mile from the entrance to The Galena Territory, Highlands Restaurant, the General Golf Course, and the Country Store, this home is totally immersed in the woods surrounded by green space. Virtually an island of privacy. The home site is on an overlook providing vast vistas of the area, as can be seen on the Topo Map. Make this property an upscaled equestrian home where the zoning allows the stabling of up to 2 horses and the erection of an accessory structure to be used as a stable and corral. Stunning prairie design and superior craftsmanship make all the difference. The owner’s elegant prairie decorating ties the home and interior into one of the most desirable homes in The Galena Territory. The first-floor plan features the kitchen, dining room and living room in a grouping with a surrounding deck. A double-sided stone fireplace ties the dining room and living room together. There is a spacious foyer and gas-fired old mountain pot belly stove in the sitting area. The kitchen features abundant prep space, granite counters/backsplash and space to eat at the counter, and adjacent to the 2nd dining area. Included on the 1st floor is the laundry room, half bath and master ensuite guest room with dual vanities, glass/tile shower and soaking tub. When you go upstairs to the Master suit/office be ready for the WOW factor. Two decks (bedroom & office) where the view makes you feel elevated to the highest point in the county. Two story vaulted ceiling and a stone fireplace. Oversized master bath with water closet, dual vanities soaking tub and tile/glass shower. A 4 X 10 walk-in closet. The second floor also includes 3 guest bedrooms and 2 full baths. The heated garage has 3 bays and a full storage above. Other upgrades include but not limited to roughhewn wood flooring, solid 6 panel hickory doors, tankless hot water, SS appliances, built-in bookcases and a 400 FT blacktop driveway. The home is being sold unfurnished, however, with a few exceptions, all furnishings can be easily negotiated on a separate bill of sale at closing. The original home was built in 1985; in 2009 the current home was completely rebuilt new, around the original stone fireplace/chimney and some of the original foundation. With a septic system modification, the home could apply for a transient rental license. Nicor Gas and Sand Prairie Fiber Optics are available on the street for connection.
