Property Description
Welcome to your own private in-town retreat! Nestled on a perch amidst two lots totaling 1.91 acres of wooded beauty at the end of long private drive, this beautifully maintained 3 bed, 3 bath sprawling ranch offers the peace and privacy of a country setting paired with the convenience to schools, shopping, and downtown Galena from a wonderful location within popular Indian Ridge Subdivision. A sweeping concrete driveway winds through manicured grounds, leading to the charming home with high curb appeal and breathtaking setting that highlighted by mature trees, lush lawn, and stunning natural landscaping, including a rock retaining wall and thoughtfully designed flower beds with a multitude of gorgeous plantings. Upon approach, you are greeted by a serene covered front porch that opens to light and bright main level featuring a welcoming front living room with oversized windows and rich flooring, a generous eat-in kitchen with cathedral ceilings, skylight, granite countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, heated tile flooring, and a large center island perfect for gathering. Flowing from the kitchen, the vaulted sunroom is an absolute showstopper, highlighted by a gas fireplace, warm wood-clad ceiling, tile floors with radiant heat, mini-split system for added heating and cooling comfort, and direct access to and panoramic views of the serene backyard, fire pit, grilling patio and pool area with huge wraparound deck. The spacious primary suite includes soaring cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet and beautifully remodeled and luxuriously appointed en-suite with glass-door shower, soft gray tile, and updated vanity. Two additional main level bedrooms offer great space and comfort, with access to a stylishly updated full bath with granite topped vanity and tile flooring and wall accents. Updated and upgraded laundry room was reconfigured to add counter above washer/dryer, cleverly integrated storage, pantry space and cleaning closet, and leads directly to oversized two car garage with sleek epoxy coated floors and large alcove great for additional storage, workshop space, and lawn/garden equipment. The finished walkout lower level is perfect for entertaining, with an expansive family room with gas fireplace, wet bar, plenty of room for recreation, and direct access to lower patio and fenced side yard, additional full bath with modern style, a versatile den/office/hobby room, and plenty of unfinished storage. Enjoy your own backyard oasis with a heated above-ground pool surrounded by a sweeping wraparound deck, ideal for relaxing or hosting guests. A charming paver patio with firepit and custom stone seating offers the perfect space to gather under the stars or grill with company and take in the scenic surround and abundant nature. Ample yard offers room to roam and enjoy the outdoors within a serene park-like setting, and houses detached 14' x 22' barn-like storage shed with poured foundation that would be great for workshop, lawncare storage, or even additional hobby space. Many updates since July 2021, including replacing furnace and a/c unit, adding Aprilaire system, mini-split added to sunroom, updated pool heater, added fenced yard area, replaced carpet, updated range and dishwasher, added grill patio, most interior paint redone, most light fixtures changed, updated primary bathroom, active radon mitigation system installed and more! A truly impressive property that blends exceptional privacy, modern comfort, and a connection to nature with an amazing location in the heart of Galena.
