As of September 2023A rare find right in the heart of Galena just minutes from many shops and restaurants. This beautiful home has many unique features that enhance the beauty of it as you venture throughout each room, with the seller's talent reflected in every room that you go into. The kitchen has a gas stove and double oven, countertops are made of wood and has high ceilings with plenty of light. Dining room has tin ceilings that came from a building downtown Galena, plus beautiful hardwood floors. Off of the dining room is a three-season screened in porch to relax on summer nights. Also off of the dining area is a bedroom and bath with a claw foot tub and walls that also have the tin from the ceilings. Upstairs is a master suite with floors that have been creatively painted. The master bathroom has a tub and shower and washer and dryer. The cozy living room features a gas fireplace and built-in bookcases. From the living room you pass through the French doors that lead to a very large family room equipped with a bar, in-floor heat, wood clad cathedral ceilings plus another bathroom. Entrance to and from the garage is through the family room. The many windows and skylights in the family room allow for much natural light and a view of the amazing garden with a gazebo, large storage shed and fountain and many beautiful perennials, your very own arboretum. The back yard has a 6-foot fence all around with gates in place on each side of the house for easy access plus entrance from the family room. There are two rain barrels that are used to water the many gorgeous flowers. The entire outside trim of the house and garage was freshly painted in 2022 and the stone retaining wall replaced in 2023. A must see to appreciate the charm and beauty of this house.
