Over 2,000 sq ft cozy Galena retreat on a wooded 2-acre setting just outside the city limits, offering a peaceful country feel less than 5 miles from Downtown Galena’s Main Street. Sold with a transferable Guest Accommodations (VRBO) License, making this an ideal second home or investment opportunity—yet perfectly suited for full-time living as well. The open floor plan features hickory wood floors throughout the main level and abundant natural light, with a wall of windows in the back living room overlooking the private wooded acreage. Two generously sized main-level bedrooms share a full bath. The lower-level family room includes a gas fireplace (gas line run, not yet connected), plus a partially finished rec. room that could easily convert to a third bedroom if desired. Recent updates include boiler and A/C (approx. 2020) and select new windows (2024). Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage. Seller is open to completing optional upgrades at buyer’s cost, including a concrete pad for a hot tub and finishing the lower-level room. A rare opportunity to own acreage, privacy, and income potential just minutes from Galena.
