Bright, airy and welcoming 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath historic frame with a two-car tandem garage and additional off-street parking, ideally located just minutes from the heart of historic downtown Galena, where shopping, dining, and festivities await. Step inside to find a warm and functional layout, with main level featuring an inviting living room, large dining room, updated kitchen with island and breakfast bar, nicely appointed half bath, under-stair storage and mud room with beadboard accents, integrated laundry closet and side door access to detached garage. Upstairs hosts three comfortable bedrooms, the primary housing two closets and an integrated sitting area, all with rustic wood floors and a fully remodeled full bath that has tub/shower combo featuring subway tile surround and updated vanity and lighting. Attic is finished above (not counted in total square footage as it is not heated) and works great for retreat, hobby space or additional storage. The backyard is designed for enjoyment and versatility, offering plenty of space for outdoor activities, the potential for a terraced garden, and a spacious patio with rock retaining wall that creates a space ideal for grilling and gatherings. Over the past several years, this home has been thoughtfully updated with changes both inside and out. In 2020, the exterior received new roof shingles, fresh paint, and a new concrete driveway. Upstairs windows were replaced for improved efficiency, and the kitchen and laundry/mudroom were also fitted with new windows. In 2024, the full bath underwent a complete renovation, and in 2025, the enclosed front porch was beautifully refreshed, offering a welcoming space to relax and take in the neighborhood. Truly, a great package combining charm, updates, and convenience in one wonderful Galena location. Whether you re looking for a full-time residence or a second home retreat, this property offers the best of small-town living and modern comfort.
