206 S Prospect St, Galena, IL 61036

Circa 1850 Historic Galena Brick. Known as the "Osprey's Nest" an ever so charming brick is perched above downtown Galena with sweeping views of the City, Galena River, Grant Park, the home of General Grant and the hills of Galena. The Osprey's Nest is uniquely positioned as the only home on the Southern side of the block and just two blocks to downtown restaurants, shops & bars. When you enter, the main floor features refinished authentic hard wood floors, a beautiful hallway, living room, bedroom and bathroom (with beautiful views of Galena). All main floor rooms have been freshly plastered and painted (2013). Numerous upgrades over the last several years include rewired electrical, energy efficient windows and energy efficient gas furnace. The bathroom with its soaking tub was updated just 4 years ago. The lower level has a generous family room with wood burning stove (to take the chill off autumn nights), the gutted and remodeled kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, lighting fixtures, bead board cabinets and a new dining area (also with bead board cabinets - 2009). Enjoy one of many outdoor spaces; the back porch overlooking Grant Park, the side deck overlooking the Galena sights or the concrete patio. The house is equipped with a new septic system (2010), gutters/rain water collection and cistern, a basement with 286' of usable space, and a 7'x33' concrete slab "grotto" for plenty of storage. Truly the ideal getaway property affording lots of privacy yet so close to downtown. PROPERTY SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL FROM PREVIOUS OWNER.
