If you are looking for a charming home on the east side of historic Galena, look no further. This quaint two bedroom, two bath home has many updated features and windows offering much natural light. The original house was built Circa 1850's with an addition in the 1980's. Upon entering the home there is a three season's porch surrounded by windows. The large living room is equipped with a gas, ventless fireplace that would need to be connected since the current owner does not use it. Upon entering the dining area, you will notice a door that leads to the spacious side yard. There is also a full bath with a claw foot tub off of the dining room area. The kitchen has newer appliances with the refrigerator new in 2019. The kitchen also has the washer and dryer for your convenience.

A new entrance from inside of the house has been installed to the basement along with new concrete floors, water softener in 2016, new furnace and air conditioning in 2017 and two sump pumps. In addition, more circuits were added with 200 amp to the kitchen and 240 to the garage, plus new support posts. Ascending the staircase to the second floor, you will find two nicely sized bedrooms with walk-in closets and another full bath. In 2015 a new shingles were added to the house along with gutter guards in 2021. In 2022 the exterior of the front porch was painted and in 2023 the exterior of the entire house was painted. The entire inside of the house has been recently painted, plus new shingles on the garage roof in 2024. Situated on two lots, the large back yard offers privacy and plenty of room to enjoy every season, with plenty of room for the gardener in your life. It is a short distance to the bike path which leads along the river, walk bridge to historic downtown Galena with its many shops, restaurants and attractions, plus close to Grant Park.
