Property Description

Step into timeless elegance with this meticulously restored 1850s Federal-style brick home, ideally located in the heart of Galena and offering a serene country feel with pastoral views of the surrounding countryside. Sited on a generously sized .40 acre lot with mature trees providing natural privacy and shade, this historic gem blends period charm with thoughtful modern updates for today's lifestyle. The home welcomes you with a classic covered front porch that opens directly into the warm and inviting living room, where refinished wide-plank pine floors, elegant trim work, and abundant natural light set the tone. From there, flow into the expansive dining room, perfect for entertaining, with rich crown molding and ample space for a large table and sitting area. The adjacent custom-designed kitchen is a showstopper, featuring furniture-style base cabinetry, granite countertops, glass-front upper cabinets, and sleek tile flooring. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a spacious three-seasons room with walls of windows and stamped concrete flooring, ideal for relaxing or enjoying the outdoors from the comfort of inside. A detailed staircase with carved newel post and original-style railings leads to the upper level, where you'll find two generous bedrooms, a gracefully curved hallway wall, and a full bath with pedestal sink, built-in shelving, linen storage, and a conveniently integrated laundry closet. The finished attic level offers a charming loft-style third bedroom with dormer windows and panoramic elevated views through the treetops to the rolling countryside beyond. A detached-feel but fully connected two-car garage offers ample space for vehicles and storage, while the impressive stamped concrete driveway resembling pavers provides plenty of additional parking. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Galena's architectural legacy, this home offers a peaceful setting with all the conveniences of in-town living just minutes from schools, shopping, and the vibrant downtown district. Meticulously renovated from studs over a period of years with attention to detail throughout. A rare blend of character, craftsmanship, and comfort awaits!
