About This Home

Tucked into a scenic, wooded hillside just minutes from historic Main Street Galena, this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect combination of privacy, charm, and modern convenience. Situated on a .53-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, the property provides a peaceful natural setting with a fenced yard, abundant wildlife, and plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Built in 1997 with architectural character that complements Galena's historic appeal, the home features a thoughtfully designed layout with contemporary comforts throughout. Enter from the inviting wraparound deck into a bright and open main level showcasing a spacious living room anchored by a woodstove-style fireplace, a welcoming dining area, an updated full bathroom, and an expansive kitchen complete with generous counter space, pantry storage, and upgraded appliances. Upstairs, you'll find a large guest bedroom with soaring cathedral ceilings, a convenient laundry closet, and a private primary suite featuring elevated wooded views, vaulted ceilings, and an ensuite bath highlighted by a corner whirlpool tub. Outdoor living is a true highlight, with the wraparound porch providing the perfect place to unwind while overlooking the tranquil wooded surroundings. A storage shed offers additional space for lawn equipment, gardening tools, and seasonal storage. Major improvements completed in 2017 include new shingles, siding, gutters and gutter guards, furnace, water heater, flooring throughout, crawlspace insulation, interior doors, lighting, ceiling fans, updated bathrooms, kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and the addition of a woodstove insert with blower. Enjoy the serenity of this private retreat while remaining just a short stroll or drive from Galena's renowned shops, restaurants, entertainment, and year-round events. Select furnishings are included in the sale.
