Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from February 03, 2024
Enter up the steps to the original front porch and open the original wood glazed paneled front door into a part of Galena's history. This beautiful two and a half story Queen Anne home was built in 1898. Home has a limestone foundation with exterior wood clapboard siding. Entire exterior was painted and restored to the current condition completed in 2022. New gutters and downspouts in 2021. Remote thermostats to control the heating and air-conditioning from your phone, Hardwood floors throughout most of the home, new tile in kitchen in 2021 and Berber carpet in the attic/bedroom. It has cross gable roof clad asphalt shingles. Windows are original 1/1 double or single hung fixed transom. Upon entering the home, you will find the living room, with large windows allowing plenty of natural light and a comfortable atmosphere. Dining room has three windows, one which has beautiful stained glass. Built-in bar has a refrigerator. Bar area has a tapper connected to a refrigerator in the basement that can house your favorite keg of beer. Modern kitchen has granite counter tops, plenty of cabinets and a gas stove and stainless-steel appliances. The island is for casual dining and also plenty of workspace when baking or preparing your favorite meal. Off of the kitchen is an area that leads to a beautifully decorated half bath. Through the door of the kitchen there is a walkway to the single car garage, which is such a plus for parking on Bench Street plus a drive that allows for extra parking. Venturing upstairs you will find the master bedroom facing east that allows for the morning sunrise. A small room off of the master bedroom with a large walk-in closet. In addition to the master bedroom are two bedrooms that are tastefully decorated. All three bedrooms have transom windows above each door that are used to let the airflow through when opening the many windows. A full bath on the second floor with double copper sinks and the washer and dryer. As you go up the staircase to the attic room, you will notice the railing that was designed to be removed to carry up larger furniture. The attic is currently used as an additional sleeping area, and plenty of space to transform it into an office, craft room or a personal get-away. Another room connected to the attic for storage or whatever your needs may be. Picture yourself on summer evening sitting on the amazing side porch sipping your favorite beverage. The yard is beautifully landscaped with many perennials, trees and bushes. A limestone wall was installed along the property line with flowers and plants along its border. A true treasure and a rare find in a great location only a block from historic downtown Galena with its many shops and restaurants.

    "we know all our neighbors and their pets and kids. people here are caring. Everyone knows everyone. Not handicapped compliant town for wheelchairs though. Great little transit with fun drivers! Beautiful area. Deer and wild turkeys in your backyard is awesome. Great Police and fire department. People ❤2 GOSSIP here! SAFE place to land but a vehicle is a must.
