About This Home
As of August 2024Built in 1847 this charming schoolhouse has been converted into a masterpiece of a home. As you enter into the kitchen living room combo, you will notice the vaulted ceilings that were once two very low ceilings and now have a been transformed into a large open room. The two large bedrooms and two full baths add to the detailed renovation. Two of the outer brick walls were completely re-constructed. Beautiful new hardwood flooring installed, and roof was replaced, walls have all been dry walled and painted. New furnace and air conditioning, new electrical and plumbing, plus new stainless-steel appliances. The outside trim has also been all newly painted. Venturing outside you will notice a new sidewalk to the barn that has been converted into a garage and freshly painted. It is located on a large lot with mature trees. It is a short distance to Grant Park, the bike path and across the pedestrian bridge to downtown Galena with its many unique shops and restaurants. A must see to appreciate all the renovation that has been completed. Seller is a real estate licensee.
