About This Home

As of April 2015

Incredibly well-kept and tastefully updated bungalow sited on .25 acre partially treed homesite adjoining Grant's Home Park Area to the rear and just minutes from Main Street, Galena, that offers an open and airy layout in move-in ready condition. Light and bright living room offers room to relax and feeds to large dining room with beautifully refinished wood floors. Well-equipped kitchen with functional setup, lots of cabinets, updated counters (2015) and breakfast bar with seating for two. Main level also features a quaint powder room (added 2004) and guest bedroom currently used as a toy room with French doors and wood floors. Upper level houses nicely appointed master bedroom with large walk-in closet, additional storage, and seasonal views of Grant's Home, an additional guest bedroom, updated and remodeled full bath, and sitting area with seasonal views toward the Washburne House and stunning hills of Galena in the distance. Walk-out access to rear of home allows easy access to stairs to backyard and treed backdrop. Large enclosed front porch with ceiling fan adds another area to entertain. Grant Park and access to downtown from two pedestrian bridges are just a few blocks away, as is the Galena River Trail and access to Galena River boat ramp. Per seller, updates include: many insulated windows, central air, electrical wiring, and refinishing of wood trim (all in 2004), front steps (2008), vinyl siding and partial shingling (2012), water heater and washer/dryer (2014), and living room carpet (2015). Simply a beautiful combination of function and style!
